The highlighters, markers, and sticky notes you provided have become essential tools in our daily learning. Students are now actively annotating texts, tracking their thinking, and building on one another's ideas during discussions. One powerful moment came during a recent lesson when students used sticky notes to respond to a shared text and then engaged in a collaborative discussion—referencing each other's notes, asking questions, and deepening their understanding together. It was incredible to see students not only participate, but truly engage with one another's thinking.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, students were genuinely excited—they couldn't wait to use them. What might seem like simple supplies quickly became meaningful tools that empowered them to take ownership of their learning. The colorful markers and highlighters made their thinking visible, and the sticky notes gave even quieter students a way to contribute confidently before speaking out loud. This boost in confidence has led to more thoughtful, inclusive, and student-driven discussions.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we are continuing to build on these collaborative skills by using these materials in deeper analysis and group projects. Students are beginning to lead their own discussions, using their annotations and notes as evidence to support their ideas. Your support has not only provided resources—it has helped create a classroom culture rooted in collaboration, confidence, and critical thinking. Thank you for making this possible and for investing in my students' growth.","fullyFundedDate":1768172812689,"projectUrl":"project/engage-and-collaborate/10001716/","projectTitle":"Engage and Collaborate","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Riggs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9356708_orig.jpg?crop=2112,2112,x0,y140&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699391193377","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9356708"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_48555","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1069,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":53,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"23.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.4,"schoolId":48555,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kenny C Guinn Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kenny C Guinn Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/kenny-c-guinn-middle-school/48555"}
