We have our first world map with all the location names in SPANISH to support our learning in 6th and 7th grade Historia universal classes (we reference this map daily).

The pencils and pencil toppers have made writing just a touch more fun for our students who are eager to collect and adorn their writing tool. Thanks to the mini-fridge, I can keep healthy foods available for students who need a snack in order to get through the day. These are just a few examples of the impact your gift is making! \r\n\r\nIn summary, these interventions are helping the class as a whole--and particular students as individuals--in order to feel and learn better in our classroom.

Before this donation, we often struggled with old, limited, or mismatched gear, which restricted the types of games we could play and led to frequent disputes over the few functional items we possessed. Now, with a full complement of new basketballs, soccer balls, jump ropes, cones, and nets, every student can be actively involved. This influx of resources has directly contributed to creating a more inclusive and engaging environment, ensuring that every student has the tools they need to participate fully, discover new interests, and enjoy the benefits of regular physical activity without the frustration of equipment scarcity.\r\n\r\nThe introduction of this new equipment has directly correlated with a marked increase in our students' social and emotional learning (SEL) capabilities. Organized team sports and group activities, made possible by having the right gear, naturally foster opportunities to practice collaboration, communication, and conflict resolution. For instance, learning to share a brand-new soccer ball or working together to set up a volleyball net teaches invaluable lessons in cooperation and shared responsibility. Furthermore, the experience of trying new sports with proper equipment allows students to build self-confidence and resilience; they learn to navigate the frustration of making a mistake, the joy of team success, and the importance of encouraging their peers, all while following rules and respecting opponents.\r\n\r\nUltimately, this donation has provided more than just physical tools; it's given my students a powerful and positive outlet for emotional and social growth. The increased structure and variety in physical activities have led to a noticeable reduction in behavioral issues during unstructured times like recess, as students are more occupied and less prone to arguments. They are learning to manage their competitive impulses, celebrate others' successes, and use physical activity as a healthy way to manage stress and excess energy. This positive cycle of improved physical engagement leading to strengthened social bonds and emotional awareness ensures the impact of this donated equipment will extend far beyond the playground, cultivating essential life skills they will carry with them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1755883336338,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-fun-fitness/9431761/","projectTitle":"Fueling Fun & Fitness!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johanna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9432168_orig.jpg?crop=1200,1200,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705072462680","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9432168"},{"teacherId":8232135,"projectId":9063278,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donations, our classroom has been completely transformed into a more engaging, organized, and safer space for learning. The upgraded projector setup has made a huge difference — by moving it closer to the wall, we've reduced clutter, cleared up tangled wires, and made the room much safer for students to move around. This change also created more space for student desks. Before, the room felt cramped, but now there's extra wiggle room, making it easier for students to collaborate and transition between activities.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has been another game changer. It allows me to pull up PowerPoint slides while simultaneously projecting from my Mac. I can view my notes privately while teaching, which helps lessons flow smoothly and keeps me more connected to students instead of being tied to my laptop.\r\n\r\nThe new speakers have improved how my students experience multimedia lessons — everyone can clearly hear videos, demonstrations, and discussions. This has been especially helpful for students who rely on clear audio to stay focused and engaged.\r\n\r\nThe LED strip lights have added a fun and vibrant atmosphere to the classroom. I've placed them around the whiteboard wall, and when we dim the main lights during videos or reflective discussions, the soft glow makes the space feel lively and modern. Students always comment on how \"cool\" it looks — it brings a sense of excitement and pride to their learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe rubber mat has been a great finishing touch, helping to hide any remaining wires and keeping the area neat and safe.\r\n\r\nOverall, this project has completely changed the look and feel of our classroom. It's now a more functional, visually engaging, and student-centered space. Many students have said it feels like a \"real science lab\" — and that excitement translates into greater focus and participation every day. Your support has truly made a lasting impact on how we learn and connect in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746786355275,"projectUrl":"project/modern-tech-for-a-safer-brighter-scienc/9063278/","projectTitle":"Modern Tech For a Safer, Brighter Science Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8232135_orig.jpg?crop=695,695,x574,y826&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721713577285","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sciencechampions"},{"teacherId":7399860,"projectId":9453873,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has been transformed into a more joyful and engaging space.
