Your generosity has had an immediate and meaningful impact on our learning environment. Having snacks available helps students stay energized and engaged, and it has been especially helpful for students who may come to class hungry. \r\n\r\nWhen the snacks first arrived, the students were genuinely excited. There were smiles, surprised reactions, and lots of appreciation. Several students commented on how nice it felt to know that someone cared enough to support them and their learning. It created an immediate sense of comfort and belonging in our classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we are able to focus more on learning without the distraction of hunger.

Our students now have access to a CNC machine that has completely transformed what student learning looks like in our classroom. What was once an abstract design work on paper is now hands on, real word, problem solving. Students are designing parts, digitally, translating measurements into code-driven cuts, and seeing firsthand how precision, planning, and math directly affects a finished product. For many of them, this is their first experience using professional grade manufacturing equipment and it has instantly raised their engagement, confidence, and pride in their work. \r\n\r\nBeyond the technical skills, the CNC has opened the door to deeper learning in math engineering, and career exploration. Students are applying measurements, geometry, and cost analysis in meaningful ways while learning how modern manufacturing actually works. They're collaborating, trouble shooting mistakes, and developing the kind of persistence and problem solving that extends far beyond the shop. Your support didn't just purchase a machine it gave out students access to skills, experiences, and opportunities that will follow them into college and future careers.","fullyFundedDate":1762265320081,"projectUrl":"project/project-cnc/9716870/","projectTitle":"Project CNC","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Boutin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10263183"},{"teacherId":45214,"projectId":9912456,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of snacks to our classroom.

Using the graphic novel as a scaffold and supplement to the original text worked even better than I had hoped. Students read the graphic novel first, and even students who are generally resistant to reading were immediately taken in by the vivid illustrations and direct story-telling. It was wonderful to see them move from an initial stance of \"I hate reading, so I'm not going to do this,\" which is often code for \"I'm afraid it's going to be hard and I am embarrassed to show that I'm struggling, so I'm not going to try,\" to making thoughtful observations about the text that demonstrated their understanding of Douglass's life and the broader historical context. The photos I included are notes taken by a couple of my students who went through this transformation. After students finished the graphic novel, most of them went on to read Douglass's full original narrative successfully, which they would not have been able to do if they had not already been familiar with the story.
