We employ lots of different reading strategies using these texts, like dyad reads, choral reads, and reciprocal reads. Having access to the text in class allows students to refer back to specific evidence and details when discussing the different historical experiences of the ethnic groups. \r\n\r\nWe have also enjoyed having the laminator. My AP human geography students researched different world migrations and placed them on a time-line. Having the laminator helped preserve their work and added to the quality display they created in the hall. \r\n\r\nI am always so surprised and amazed at all the support I have gotten from Donor's choose contributors!","fullyFundedDate":1786713237674,"projectUrl":"project/social-studies-basics/10468592/","projectTitle":"Social Studies Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1137097_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1473810032362","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1137097"},{"teacherId":3248026,"projectId":10554846,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for our copies of Frankenstein! I am currently observing students working in groups to discuss the characters of this novel, and the discussions are brilliant! Because of your donations, so many students are engaging in critical thinking and philosophical discussions of the individual's responsibility to others and to society using Frankenstein as their model. They are practicing close reading skills and determining not only what happens in the story but also how an author constructs the text, how the nuances, figurative language, textual details and literary devices convey meaning. \r\nFor many of these students, this is the first time they've had access to a novel from the literary canon, and since all of our AP Literature students have signed up to take the exam in May, access to this text will catapult their preparation to earn college credits. They are so excited to own their own copy, and for many of my students, this is the first book they've ever owned.\r\nThank you so much for your amazing support!

For some students this can take more than one class session. To have a little snack and brain boost to offer students during this testing meant a great deal to all of us. I watched as students perked back up, ready to tackle the rest of their test once they'd received something to revive them and fuel their brains. These snacks are also fantastic to award students when we do review games--students who win get more than mere bragging rights. \r\n\r\nMost importantly, I've had hungry students who struggle to focus, and being able to offer a granola bar or some crackers helps them make it to free lunch. You never know how your donations might help these students, but it has meant a great deal to me to provide them with something they need.\r\n\r\nFinally, there were several high demand books you helped purchase. I've had several of these checked out by students who couldn't find quite what they wanted in the school library for outside reading. Even better--they've recommended a couple of titles to their friends. The Westfallen series has been making the rounds, and having a copy of the second novel in the series has gotten out to students outside my class. I had a student who wasn't mine borrow it just the other day, promising she'd return it (her friend who does have me for English vouched for her).\r\n\r\nYour willingness to support education goes a long way.

Being able to punch out objects and shapes effortlessly helps our day run smoother.\r\n\r\nThe timers help the students stay on task and allow them to see how much time is left for a project.

They get to create their own design, or work from a template, or both. While working on this project, my students not only learn a new piece of technology, but they also learn that 3D printing uses the same filament (the plastic building material). They learn the difference between using technology to create a hand-made project and using a digital plan to have a computer print it.\r\nMy students have to learn how to use the 3D pen first and it takes some coordination to do that, but then they choose a project that motivates them, and they're highly engaged. Some students make geometric items like architecture or cars; some make cute accessories like eye-glass frames and phone holders. Some choose to make more organic designs, like flowers and animal sculptures. Students can decide how three-dimensional they're going to make their work: either in-the-round, or low-relief. They also get to choose their level of difficulty.\r\nSome of my students get so excited using this pen that they come in after school or during their lunch to make more artworks. Some of them have some trouble the first time they try to make something and are motivated to re-make it better. \r\nStudents always take their 3D pen projects home with them, which doesn't always \r\nhappen.
