Your support has transformed our classroom and opened new creative pathways for my students to explore design, symbolism, and cultural storytelling through the art of tattooing.\r\n\r\nThe new resources you helped fund such as professional-grade drawing tools, body placement templates, and reference materials have allowed my students to approach tattoo design with confidence and authenticity. One of our favorite classroom moments was the day we unveiled the new supplies; students' eyes lit up with excitement as they realized they would be working with real tattoo design tools similar to those used by professional artists. They immediately began sketching, experimenting with flash designs, and discussing how tattoo art reflects personal identity and heritage.\r\n\r\nCurrently, our class is working on a final project where students create original tattoo flash sheets inspired by cultural symbolism and personal meaning. The next step is to curate a mini \"Tattoo Studio Showcase,\" where students will display their designs, explain their inspirations, and reflect on how tattoo art connects to visual storytelling traditions across different cultures.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only supplied materials but has inspired a deeper appreciation for art as a living, evolving form of self-expression. Thank you for believing in my students and helping them see themselves as capable, creative artists with stories worth sharing.","fullyFundedDate":1758803977759,"projectUrl":"project/tattoo-as-art-culture-creation-and-ca/9539950/","projectTitle":"Tattoo as Art: Culture, Creation, and Care","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Taylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8667554_orig.jpg?crop=2735,2735,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666374596455","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8667554"},{"teacherId":8667554,"projectId":9142759,"letterContent":"On behalf of our art students and staff, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support in helping us restock and refresh our Fiber Art Studio.

Having the clay and glaze on hand gives me confidence that, once the schedule steadies and the studio reopens fully, we will be well-prepared to move forward with meaningful, creative work.

The interactive \"layer effect\" feature—allowing organs to be removed and examined—sparked meaningful group discussions and promoted a heightened attention to detail that traditional methods often lack.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our efforts to provide engaging and practical learning opportunities.

Your support has made a significant impact on their educational journey, and we are incredibly thankful for your commitment to their growth.\r\n\r\nIn today's world, the ability to capture and engage with the world around us is more important than ever. For our students, having access to digital cameras not only enhances their art education but also opens doors to creative expression and a deeper connection with nature. These cameras enable them to document and explore the beauty of the natural world, fostering a unique opportunity to blend their artistic talents with the environment around them.\r\n\r\nYour gift empowers them to capture the moments that inspire and challenge their creativity, and in turn, helps them develop a deeper understanding of the world and their place within it. The ability to use photography as a tool for artistic expression and environmental awareness is invaluable, and we are excited to see the remarkable work they will produce with the resources you've provided.\r\n\r\nWe have already used these cameras on two art-hiking field trips to Mt. Lemmon and Signal Hill. \r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generosity and for making this important opportunity possible for our students. Your support continues to shape their future in ways that words cannot fully express.

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation, which has had a significant impact on the learning experience of our students. In my class, we have been using the letter tiles in a variety of creative ways to enhance literacy skills, and the results have been truly exciting.\r\nOne of the ways we use the tiles is by providing students with a list of words, each of which has an anagram. Students then spell each word using the tiles, rearranging them to form new words. This activity not only helps them understand how a set of letters can be rearranged in different ways but also reinforces their understanding of word formation and spelling patterns.\r\nThe color-coded tiles have been especially helpful in providing a visual distinction between vowels and consonants, allowing students to better grasp the roles that different letters play in words. The different colors help students visualize letter patterns and rules, making it easier for them to make connections between sounds and letters.\r\nThe tile letters have proven to be a versatile tool for building letter recognition, phonemic awareness, and decoding skills. Whether used for individual or group learning, they provide a hands-on approach to practicing decoding, encoding, and blending. They also support students in forming and reading CVC and CVC-e words, which is foundational for early literacy development.\r\nThanks to your support, these tile letters are helping our students engage in active, hands-on learning. Your contribution is making a meaningful difference in their education, and I cannot thank you enough for your continued generosity.\r\nThank you for always looking after our students and supporting their growth and success!","fullyFundedDate":1725284739502,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-approach-to-science-of-reading/8479368/","projectTitle":"Hands on Approach to Science of Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kilmer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7221344"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95676","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":252,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":87,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.0,"schoolId":95676,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Nosotros Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Nosotros Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/arizona-department-of-education/nosotros-academy/95676"}
