My students really enjoy using Blooket to review concepts. Especially since I am able to open fun games with the subscription. By using Blooket, my students want to practice the fact fluency, rather than using boring flashcards. I also use Blooket to review what was taught, such as verb tenses to one-step equations, to even music notes! Overall, I am able to gamify my classroom.

With your help, I was able to find better mics to use and record students as they are commenting on the games that they are playing. Previously, I had a cheaper set, and it didn't work very well. Also, I am better able to catch the student voice. The great part is that they get to feel like a real pro-gamer when they play and commentate on their gaming. Just like the other gamers they have watched on YouTube. My students are able to learn how to better talk about their gaming and see it for themselves.

This project was funded and came at a great time. We were studying how to multiply fractions. Each of my students was able to have hands-on manipulatives to learn about the concept of multiplying fractions by fractions. You can see and feel the lightbulb light up. This was so much better than drawing it out and that's it, because they got to manipulate it with their hands. They can see the overlap of colors to create the product and get the ah-ha moment. Then, afterwards, they can produce the model through drawing.

At the end of each chapter, we would talk about key events, the plot, and if we noticed any character trait changes. The novel also produced great conversations and discourse. I know how the novel ends, I can't wait to see their expressions. I can't wait to see if they can see how the characters were connected.","fullyFundedDate":1749049546565,"projectUrl":"project/refugee-by-alan-gratz/9382252/","projectTitle":"Refugee by Alan Gratz","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Polizzi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1597802_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1479672575435","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/polizzi"},{"teacherId":1597802,"projectId":9483024,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my project.

My students were able to practice passing the soccer ball to each other while they waited for the field to open.

My students absolutely love the new Mangas. It is a great addition to the classroom library. My students love to read...only the types of books they enjoy. I am the type of teacher who will get them what they love in order to get them to read more. Manga has a bad reputation and people would argue that it is not reading. In my opinion, Manga has a lot to offer. Students still use their imagination. They will have to use their inferencing skills.

As I have mentioned, we have a broadcasting club at our school that I am in charge of. The students and I film videos, edit them, and then share them with the school every single Friday. Little did I know, that it takes up a lot of space to create videos and edit videos using a program called Final Cut Pro. To the point where there was no space on the computer and we could not edit any more videos. I tried to delete items and move things around. To the point where I thought I had lost everything! My students and I almost had a heart attack. All of that work is gone! With help, I managed to get it back but I still had no space on the computer. Someone had suggested that I get the particular external drive that I requested for this project. It was powerful enough to do what I wanted to do. And here are today, still making videos for our weekly broadcast with no interruption. All due to your help.
