The energy gels and gummies were also very helpful to our students during their first running event. We are truly grateful for your support and the positive impact it has had on their running journey. Our students have shared how happy they are to have access to these supplies.\r\n\r\nAs a result of your support, some of our students have applied to become running ambassadors and to participate in a summer running program where they will train to run longer distances. As a result of our running club, we have been able to introduce our students to healthy ways to practice running and to show how it can have a lasting effect on their physical and mental health.

This has been particularly impactful for students who struggle with visualization or need step-by-step guidance.\r\n\r\n*Showcase Student Work for Collaboration and Feedback – Students are more engaged and eager to participate when they see their own work displayed in real-time. It fosters peer learning, boosts confidence, and encourages discussion and critique in a supportive environment.\r\n\r\n*Break Down Complex Concepts for English Language Learners – Many of my students are English language learners, and the ability to project real-time annotations and diagrams has been crucial in making science more accessible. They can see processes unfold visually, reinforcing their understanding of new vocabulary and concepts.\r\n\r\n*Create Interactive, Hands-On Lessons – Whether it's demonstrating how to construct a scientific argument, analyzing environmental data, or working through AP Biology free-response questions, the document camera has helped me bring lessons to life in ways that engage every student.\r\n\r\nSeeing my students light up when they understand a difficult concept or confidently explain their reasoning to the class makes it clear that this resource is making a difference. Your support is not just providing a piece of technology—it's transforming the way my students learn, engage, and grow.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and in the power of education. Your generosity has created an impact that will last long beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1739292590262,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-lessons-to-life-a-document-cam/9072644/","projectTitle":"Bringing Lessons to Life: a Document Camera for Engaging Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Buena","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9903461_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737385793921","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9903461"},{"teacherId":5818368,"projectId":8662818,"letterContent":"From our small school community, we want to say thank you.
