I am so appreciative that I have new supplies to enhance the learning (and joy) that happens in my classroom. Already, the Social/Emotional conversation cards have been a huge hit. I am using the cards as writing prompts for my Personal Development classes. They are helping us interact on a deeper level as a class, and fostering positive conversations.\r\n\r\nIn addition to that, my students are interacting with each other more. As a group, we played one of the new games when all classwork was finished. They had a great time talking and playing the game, instead of defaulting to using Chromebooks by themselves. \r\n\r\nThey are so excited to play games together, and they even are looking forward to using the play money to do a budgeting activity!

Before, \"show your work\" often meant a student quietly filling in a notebook page that only I would ever see, but now it means groups of three or four crowded around a desk or a personal whiteboard, markers in hand, actually talking through their thinking and sometimes arguing about who's right. I use the whiteboards constantly for group problem solving, putting up a challenging problem and having each group work it out live so mistakes become visible and low stakes instead of something hidden and erased before anyone notices. One moment that stood out happened during a unit where students needed to organize and interpret a data set. I had them sketch out different ways of representing the same information by hand, comparing how a bar graph versus a scatter plot versus a box plot could tell completely different stories depending on how the data was displayed. Groups sketched, erased, redrew, and debated which version made their point clearest, and that kind of fast iteration simply isn't possible with pencil and paper. Being able to erase and try again in seconds kept the energy up and let students take risks with their ideas instead of being precious about getting things perfect on the first attempt.","fullyFundedDate":1768682454363,"projectUrl":"project/expo-ceptional-students/10027183/","projectTitle":"EXPO-ceptional Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.

The Lenovo Idea Tabs and Amazon Echo Pops have turned what used to be passive lessons into a really active, inquiry-based experience. Instead of waiting for me to get to their desk, students are now jumping on the Echo Pop to settle a quick factual debate or using the tablets to dive into our online review games. What's probably surprised me most, though, is how much they love the Govee and Bason LED lighting. It sounds simple, but ditching those harsh fluorescent lights for a softer, warmer glow has made the room feel like a focused workspace rather than a hospital hallway. The kids actually mention how much more chill and ready to work they feel the second they walk through the door.\r\n\r\nI've noticed that my students who usually stay in the shadows have really started to find their voice with this tech. In particular, some of my more reserved kids have totally taken ownership of the QUI Presentation Clickers, leading their own peers through slides with a newfound confidence. When we dive into the Document-Based Assessments, having the HP DeskJet and plenty of ink on hand means I can get high-quality primary sources right into their hands. Seeing them look at the Vintage WW2 Posters and then scramble to print their own propaganda designs has been a highlight.

By providing access to hygiene products, I have removed a significant barrier that many students quietly face. Items such as deodorant, feminine hygiene products, and basic toiletries ensure that students can focus on learning rather than worrying about discomfort or embarrassment. This access promotes dignity, supports overall health, and reinforces the importance of self-care—an essential concept within a pre-medical learning environment. Students begin to understand that healthcare starts with meeting basic needs, and they experience firsthand what it means to care for others in a respectful and compassionate way.\r\n\r\nIn addition, incorporating fidgets and sensory tools into the classroom has helped create an environment that supports mental and emotional regulation. Many students experience stress, anxiety, or difficulty focusing, and having access to these tools allows them to self-regulate in a healthy, non-disruptive manner. This aligns with the principles of patient-centered care, where individuals are supported based on their unique needs. By normalizing the use of fidgets, the classroom becomes more inclusive and responsive, allowing students to remain engaged and present in their learning.\r\n\r\nTogether, these resources have transformed the classroom into a space where students feel seen, supported, and safe. They reflect the core values of the medical field—compassion, prevention, and holistic care—while also fostering a culture of empathy among students. As a result, my classroom not only supports academic success but also models the kind of environment future healthcare professionals should strive to create in their own practice.","fullyFundedDate":1769212735150,"projectUrl":"project/medical-safe-space/10048132/","projectTitle":"Medical Safe Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8170947_orig.jpg?crop=1906,1906,x223,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1786586866178","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8170947"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82977","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2589,"numTeachers":134,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":80,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.4,"schoolId":82977,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rancho High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rancho High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/rancho-high-school/82977"}
