That is really important to their success at school. \r\nThey can focus on their work because they aren't distracted by hunger. These students are incredibly thankful for this gift. Both of them have mentioned how they wish that every teacher had food they could access when they needed it. \r\nI appreciate this donation especially because I try to make my classroom feel like a home away from home. Somewhere safe they can let down their guard and learn. And this cabinet full of food greatly adds to the feeling of home and family that I am trying to create.

Many of our students dream of careers in criminology, and this project has allowed them to step into the role of investigators—analyzing evidence, solving mock crime scenes, and collaborating like professionals in the field. The iPad has been especially transformative, helping students research forensic methods, document their findings, and present their casework digitally with clarity and confidence. For students who don't always have access to tech at home, this tool has been empowering.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students has been using the curriculum and technology together to simulate real investigations. Whether it's analyzing fingerprints, identifying unknown substances, or creating crime scene reconstructions, the learning is deeply interactive and memorable. One student in particular, who's interested in forensic psychology, now volunteers to lead group investigations and even helps classmates understand how digital evidence is analyzed—something they had never felt confident enough to do before. It's been amazing to see their interest in science, problem-solving, and justice grow with each activity.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide supplies—it sparked curiosity, boosted engagement, and made our students feel like their dreams are possible.

Your gift has already had a meaningful impact on student learning. While many people are familiar with using technology at home, its use in the classroom allows students to engage with content in deeper and more interactive ways. The iPad has become a powerful learning tool for reading, writing, annotating texts, and organizing ideas, while also allowing me to give more timely and individualized feedback to students.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about this new technology is the ability to actively interact with their learning. Using the Apple Pencil to write, draw, highlight, and revise feels natural and engaging for them, especially for students who struggle with traditional paper-and-pencil tasks. They are more willing to revise their work, experiment with ideas, and participate in lessons when they can do so in a dynamic and visually supportive way.\r\n\r\nSeveral students in particular have really flourished with this technology. Students who previously hesitated to write now feel more confident drafting and revising their work digitally, and multilingual learners benefit from tools that allow them to annotate texts and express understanding through visuals as well as words. Your generosity has helped create a more inclusive and motivating learning environment, and I am truly grateful for the opportunities this gift has provided my students.","fullyFundedDate":1763474711628,"projectUrl":"project/building-connections-inspiring-collabor/9619792/","projectTitle":"Building Connections, Inspiring Collaboration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pena","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8285229_orig.jpg?crop=552,552,x0,y139&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755537332520","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8285229"},{"teacherId":6870048,"projectId":9810877,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support and belief in my students.
