During practices, having a full cart of identical, high-quality balls has completely transformed our drill efficiency. Instead of chasing mismatched or deflated balls, players can maintain a high-intensity tempo during rapid-fire serving and hitting drills. \r\n\r\nWhen the team first saw the boxes of brand-new, professional-grade volleyballs, the reaction was pure excitement. For an athlete, there is nothing quite like the feeling of a crisp, perfectly inflated game ball, and our players recognized the quality instantly. Beyond the initial excitement, seeing this new equipment gave the team a massive psychological boost; they felt professional, supported, and deeply validated knowing that donors believed in their athletic journey.","fullyFundedDate":1787585101454,"projectUrl":"project/help-serve-our-team/10435812/","projectTitle":"Help Serve Our Team!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Adams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5561746"},{"teacherId":5561746,"projectId":10435940,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation! Our classroom has transformed into a highly efficient workshop thanks to the new pens, pencils, staplers, folders, and highlighters. Right now, my students are using these materials to build their individual assignments. The students were especially excited when they used the highlighters to color-code their notes and assignments. They were able to store all of their work in their new folders. Having these dedicated, reliable supplies has eliminated the searching for tools, allowing the kids to focus entirely on completing their assignments.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes first arrived, the students were absolutely thrilled and could barely contain their excitement. Many of them treated the simple act of choosing their own folder color and sharpening a brand-new pencil like a special privilege.

This is in addition to the content itself. To facilitate the reading aspects, it is advantageous to have a class library of important and interesting novels. These are historical novels that students can sink their teeth into, enjoy, learn some history, and make historical connections across curricula and content. Additionally, by reading these pieces of literature, the exposure to good writing and new vocabulary will expose students and help students write better. These are not only valuable skills for an AP class but skills they will use for life. It helps strengthen writing, reading and critical thinking. The novels selected are books students have read before that I consistently get positive feedback about. So, I know these books will be appreciated by all.","fullyFundedDate":1572793501625,"projectUrl":"project/ap-reads/4447839/","projectTitle":"AP Reads","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Greene","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5577864_orig.jpg?crop=298,298,x67,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1553539319462","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5577864"},{"teacherId":5577864,"projectId":6716283,"letterContent":"1984 and Animal Farm are excellent works of literature. They both have concepts that revolve around concepts like the right to privacy, speech, religion and other personal liberties (or in the case of the books, lack thereof). Both of these works underscore the importance of democratic concepts and ideals and democratic forms of government. Both books allow students to draw an easy understanding between different forms of government and what it might look like if you lived in an unfortunate society where your personal liberties are restricted. These books allow students to see why it is vital to be vigilant to maintain our democracy These books underscore why it is important to be digitally literate. All of these concepts are much easier to teach using one or both of these famous works of literature. \r\n\r\nIn my class, we read passages together, independently and/or outside of class with guiding questions to help students understand and better comprehend.

We have used this in several ways. One time, we used it and if people cheated, they kept on playing until the end. Then we made the connections as to how in the Gilded Age, there were very few rules placed on businesses and monopolies. We played it in teams with a focus on property and again on railroads. This helped them make better connections to the railroad barons back in the day. \r\n\r\nWe had 2 very used monopoly games that together made a complete board game that we used at times but could not use with an entire class. By funding this project, we have been able to use this in not only my entire class periods but one of our personal finance classes at the same time. We now have enough board games to use with groups in more than class at a time. And, we can share them with the other U.S. History classes and personal finances classes as well.
