We first used them to build scale model furniture in the spring, and we are using them this week for our packaging prototypes. I wish you could see the excited looks on my students' faces when I demonstrate how to use the chomp saws, and the foam cutters. I'm sure you have all tried to cut cardboard accurately, only to get tripped up by the corrugation, or awkward angles you need to contort your hands in to make deep cuts and curves in sheets of cardboard. The chomp saws make this process so easy, and the detail we are able to achieve using them is incredible. The finished products students have created with these tools are more refined, and my students are challenging themselves to make more complex designs knowing they will be able to cut the pattern pieces with ease. I am dreaming up more cardboard projects for my classes, and hoping to buy a couple more of the chomp saws in the future so we can get even more folks chomping at once. It feels so good to be part of a community that supports student engagement, and values art and design.","fullyFundedDate":1774712178623,"projectUrl":"project/model-makers/9962745/","projectTitle":"Model Makers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kessler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3087422"},{"teacherId":5825446,"projectId":10405016,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my classroom and helping provide my students with the supplies they need to write, think, and create with their own hands.\r\n\r\nIn a world where students have constant access to computers and AI, having opportunities to put pencil to paper is more important than ever. These supplies give my students a chance to slow down, organize their thoughts, practice their writing skills, and develop their own unique voices without relying on technology to do the thinking for them.\r\n\r\nWriting by hand allows my students to make mistakes, revise their ideas, and see their progress in a very tangible way. It encourages patience, creativity, independence, and confidence. Most importantly, it reminds students that their own ideas and words have value.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students will have the materials they need to actively participate in writing activities every day. Your support is giving them more than classroom supplies, it is giving them the opportunity to strengthen skills they will carry with them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students, their voices, and their futures. Your generosity truly makes a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1788285756132,"projectUrl":"project/ib-english-classroom-in-an-ai-world/10405016/","projectTitle":"Ib English Classroom in an Ai World","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Virlouvet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5825446_orig.jpg?crop=1516,1517,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784825705411","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5825446"},{"teacherId":10476097,"projectId":10185403,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support of my project.

When the materials arrived, they were genuinely excited to see the colorful Sharpies, large easel pads, and new dictionaries. The dictionaries have become a valuable resource during reading and writing assignments, helping students expand their vocabulary and work more independently. The Sharpies and easel pads have transformed our classroom discussions into interactive learning experiences where students can collaborate, share ideas, and proudly display their work.\r\n\r\nOne memorable activity involved students working in groups to analyze literary texts and create visual presentations of themes, symbols, and key ideas. Using the easel pads and Sharpies, they brainstormed together, organized their thoughts, and presented their findings to the class. The quality of discussion and student engagement increased noticeably because they had the tools to make their thinking visible. Students who are often hesitant to participate found new ways to contribute through drawing, writing, and collaborating with their peers.\r\n\r\nAs the school year came to a close, these resources helped students finish strong and showcase the skills they developed throughout the year. The materials supported meaningful collaboration, creative thinking, and greater independence in their learning. Most importantly, they helped create a classroom environment where students felt empowered to share their ideas and take pride in their work. Thank you for investing in my students and providing resources that made a lasting impact on their educational experience.","fullyFundedDate":1760564474342,"projectUrl":"project/spanish-classroom/9638581/","projectTitle":"Spanish Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Prof. Gabriela","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10213861"},{"teacherId":2482079,"projectId":10126893,"letterContent":"A project I have been working on for a few years is better storage and organization. After moving into the new building I was not given enough space for our equipment and supplies. We have slowly expanded into the hall closet and worked to get shelves, racks and boxes to help organize our equipment.\r\n\r\nThis DonorsChoose project was to buy a label maker so we could create and label storage bins, shelves, racks, etc. I find that it helps the newer team members when they can see the names of parts on the shelves. This allows them to become accustomed to the naming conventions - especially important for things like wire management and the smaller components like bearings and linear extension parts.","fullyFundedDate":1773163986154,"projectUrl":"project/labeling-our-supplies/10126893/","projectTitle":"Labeling Our Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. McQueen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2482079"},{"teacherId":3049403,"projectId":9634136,"letterContent":"I am writing to thank you all for your donations. With these, I was able to purchase four new Chromebooks for the classroom, and these have really been coming in handy.\r\n\r\nAs AI becomes more ubiquitous, first drafts are now being handwritten in class. However, still wanting my students to go through the writing process, I ultimately have them type, revise, and edit their drafts in Google Docs. The only way to monitor this and help students avoid the temptation of misusing AI is through Securly. Chromebooks are required for this.\r\n\r\nWhile every student has their school-issued Chromebook, sometimes they will forget to bring theirs, or it will be in the repair shop. This has happened many times this year, and each time I've been able to say, \"No problem, you can borrow one of these.\" This has saved time and stress for everyone involved.

It is a post-apocalyptic piece that is actually quite upbeat. When technology is destroyed, along with 99% of humanity, everyone has time to think and be happy. The impact, we were all happy? Maybe not so much. We are blowing up Iran for no reason. That mitigates joy. \r\n\r\nAnyway. I hope you are all well. All joking aside, I appreciate this gift.
