My students were wondering how we were going to get some of our work done with only 6 dictionaries to share for the entire class when I told them we were going analog. They have become quite dependent upon their phones and the laptops for answers and assignments. However, after having taught for over 2 decades, I was looking for a different experience for my students. I wanted them to test what they knew and know by having them create those learning connections without the safety net of technology.\r\n\r\nI wanted to create a classroom where the students learned to rely on each other, ask good questions, and gain confidence in their abilities to find the answers out for themselves. I realized that this might be a scary endeavor for many. Students are less inclined to take chances with high-stakes testing and grades being valued so highly in the educational realm. So, I questioned how they might gain some more confidence, but do so in a lower stakes manner. This is where I came up with the idea of using dictionaries. They can do so by, at the very least, making sure they have the correct definition and spelling of the words they are using, or by finding different words that mean the same thing by using the thesaurus.\r\n\r\nI am so excited to have them access these priceless books. Please know that they will be helping to shape futures leaders and thinkers.","fullyFundedDate":1780697202528,"projectUrl":"project/bring-dinosaurs-back-real-dictionaries/10235600/","projectTitle":"Bring Dinosaurs back!

These books are much more than an English assignment, they are personal keepsakes that students can look back on for years to come.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, each student was able to create a finished memory book that feels meaningful and uniquely their own. As they wrote about important moments, people, challenges, accomplishments, and hopes for the future, they are taking time to reflect on where they have been and who they are becoming. Having a dedicated folder to protect and hold these memories makes the project feel even more special and gives students something tangible to treasure beyond their senior year.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping make this experience possible.

Pens, notebooks, paper, cardstock, tape, stamps, colored pencils, and other materials give students the tools they need to complete college and career applications, build resumes, research future opportunities, and prepare for life after high school. In the library, sticky notes, labels, pencils, color dot stickers, and pens help students stay organized, complete assignments, study quietly, and collaborate on projects. Students were excited to see the new supplies available and appreciated having easy access to materials they might not always have at home.\r\n\r\nOne meaningful example is when students come into the CCC to work on college applications, resumes, or career research. Having notebooks, paper, pens, and other supplies readily available allows them to focus on their goals instead of worrying about whether they have the materials they need. Students also use stress toys and other wellness items to help manage the pressure that can come with planning for their future. In the library, supplies such as labels and color dot stickers help us keep books organized and make it easier for students to find the resources they need. Even simple items like cough drops and mints help students feel more comfortable when they are not feeling well so they can continue learning.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue helping students research colleges, careers, scholarships, and other opportunities while supporting them as they complete applications and create resumes. We will also continue using the library as a space where students can study, read, collaborate, and work on academic projects. These supplies remove small but important barriers and help create a welcoming environment where students feel prepared, supported, and confident as they work toward their goals beyond high school.

One standout moment came during a recent project where students used the materials to collaborate in small groups. They were able to take more ownership of their work—asking deeper questions, testing ideas, and presenting their thinking with greater confidence. It was exciting to see students who are usually quieter step up and contribute in new ways because they felt supported by the tools you provided.\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the reaction was pure excitement. Students were immediately curious and eager to explore. There were lots of \"Can we use this today?\" and \"This is so cool!\" moments. That initial enthusiasm translated into genuine engagement—they've been more focused, more motivated, and more willing to take academic risks.\r\nLooking ahead, we're building on this momentum with a longer-term project that encourages critical thinking and creativity. Students will be using these resources to research, design, and present their own ideas, allowing them to apply what they've learned in more meaningful, real-world ways. I'm especially excited to see how they continue to grow in their collaboration and problem-solving skills.","fullyFundedDate":1699733128772,"projectUrl":"project/effective-student-conferencing/8014709/","projectTitle":"Effective Student Conferencing","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Revelli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8111901"},{"teacherId":10413890,"projectId":10045557,"letterContent":"Thank you for the incredibly thoughtful gifts that were donated to us over here in the Reed Social Resource program.
