We did a raffle to see who got to unbox it and who would get the first chance to try it out. Enthusiasm was super high that morning.\r\n\r\nSo far we have discovered there is a bit of a learning curve on how to use the tools. So we are going to try some of the suggested activities that came with the Chomp Saw. That way kids can have a better feel for what they can actually do with the tool before applying it to a class project. Cutting out circles and using the angle cut tools required a bit of research on the internet for a video tutorial.\r\n\r\nOverall the kids are excited and I am grateful. I think this is really going to get more kids actively engaged with some of the literature we are covering. I am going to have fun designing some challenging creative and fun assignments centered around the Chomp Saw. The only downside is I'm going to need more that one. But that obstacle is for another day.","fullyFundedDate":1766690463305,"projectUrl":"project/diorama-rama/9799878/","projectTitle":"Diorama-rama","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Humason","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp271097_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650513701932","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/271097"},{"teacherId":271097,"projectId":9675410,"letterContent":"The students are enjoying the books a great deal. The story is definitely something they can relate to. They like the free verse poetry format and use of contemporary slang. This use of poetry as the text of a novel is new to them; one student stated it was like a riddle. \r\n\r\nFor me, teaching something new and different is fresh air. I love the classics but how many times can one plow through Romeo and Juliet and still show excitement? I enjoyed developing new lessons and graphic organizers.And having new poetry to explore has been just what I needed. \r\n\r\nAnother great feature of this title is that students can read it independently. The language and imagery are accessible to even my struggling readers. And it because of all the imagery it has allowed some of my more creative students a chance to exercise some of their artistic talents.","fullyFundedDate":1758796526731,"projectUrl":"project/its-a-long-way-to-the-top/9675410/","projectTitle":"It's a Long Way to the Top","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Humason","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp271097_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650513701932","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/271097"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_25101","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1409,"numTeachers":85,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":92,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.7,"schoolId":25101,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Baldwin Park High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Baldwin Park High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/baldwin-park-unified-school-district/baldwin-park-high-school/25101"}
