The aluminum alloy cellphone lock box holder has helped establish a more focused classroom routine by encouraging students to put their phones away and give their full attention to learning. The art supplies are being used for creative classroom activities that allow students to express their understanding of the stories we read. The snacks provide an extra boost of energy, especially for students who need a little fuel to stay focused throughout the day. \r\n\r\nThe excitement and smiles on my students' face when they saw our new classroom resources were truly heartwarming! They were especially thrilled about the snacks and art supplies, and the cellphone holder introduced an opportunity to develop better classroom routines. Moving forward, my students will continue using these materials as we explore literature through writing, reading, discussions, and creative projects. We will also continue practicing responsible cellphone habits to strengthen concentration, participation, and independent learning. My ultimate goal is to help my students become more focused, confident, creative, and dependable learners. \r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in my students and believing in this project that makes them become a better version of themselves.","fullyFundedDate":1787187102570,"projectUrl":"project/lock-the-phones-unlock-the-learning/10481181/","projectTitle":"Lock the Phones, Unlock the Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. C","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9475367_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725311319620","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9475367"},{"teacherId":2063444,"projectId":10448486,"letterContent":"My students were excited, smiling, and engaged throughout this tye dye project. In fact, they seemed surprised and excited that it was happening! What's more, throughout the class period, the students helped each other, took the time to follow different directions to create specific designs on their shirts, and laughed about how long it had been since they had gotten to do a project like this. Though tie-dye may seem like a simple activity, there was something really special about giving students the opportunity to be creative, get a little messy, work together, and simply enjoy making something.\r\n\r\nThroughout the week, students stopped by my classroom to collect their finished shirts and proudly wore them to our first assembly of the year—the Homecoming Pep Assembly. Junior class blue was well represented! I was especially surprised and happy to see some of my students who are typically less involved or engaged wearing their shirts. While I can't know exactly what that meant to each student, I took it as a wonderful sign that they were feeling connected to and proud of being part of our school community.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue building on that sense of community throughout the year. Students will wear their shirts at future assemblies and spirit days, and our advisory will continue to be a place where students can build relationships, participate in school activities, and have opportunities to create, laugh, and connect with one another.","fullyFundedDate":1787248863182,"projectUrl":"project/creating-colorful-community/10448486/","projectTitle":"Creating Colorful Community","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kingsbery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2063444_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1638256842383","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/centralfrench"},{"teacherId":7990297,"projectId":9964309,"letterContent":"Ajayi Thank you notes to Donors Choose Sponsors Sept 9, 2026\r\n\r\n\r\nGreetings from our students at Bettye Davis East High School.
