Some basic things this iPad will allow me to do in class to enhance students' learning and engagement. I can create equity cards to give all my students a voice while keeping them accountable for their learning. I can also use the equity maps app to track students speaking during our academic discourses and show students who is speaking and who needs to improve on this skill. It will allow me to bring music into my clasroom easier, which my students enjoy.\r\nMost importantly, this will allow me to record many of our students' great projects and presentations we do throughout the year. From the Bill of Rights project, to Shark Tank, to revolutions mock trial and moot court in AP gov, we will have these memories stored, have the ability to give to students to put in portifilos or send off to competions to try and get students scholarhisps or grant money for the school","fullyFundedDate":1778505728996,"projectUrl":"project/from-classroom-to-spotlight-empowering/10190286/","projectTitle":"From Classroom to Spotlight: Empowering Student Voices with an iPad","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Viri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7936803"},{"teacherId":7936803,"projectId":10189526,"letterContent":"On behalf of myself and all my students, a very kind and appreciative thank you for your kind donations to help fund this project. As I am sure you know, to improve skills, students need to practice them every day. These composition books will allow my students to do just so. Students will use these in AP to take and process notes, create media journals, write and practice SAQs, FRQs, and essays, and track SCOTUS and required documents to have a great study resource all in one place for them to pass those stressful AP Exams in the spring.\r\n\r\nFor my on-level students, these books will allow them to take notes and practice writing skills and thesis development. Every class session, students will be answering riddles, analyzing current events and recording answers and thoughts, and completing daily focus questions to connect content to their personal lives. With your support, my students will be able to write every day and become masters of their craft","fullyFundedDate":1778010499417,"projectUrl":"project/continuing-small-steps-for-student-writi/10189526/","projectTitle":"Continuing Small Steps for Student Writing and Retention","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Viri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7936803"},{"teacherId":8017854,"projectId":10030299,"letterContent":"As I am gearing my classroom towards being screen-free, I thank you for the following positive impact that your donations have had in my classroom:\r\n\r\nRegarding improved focus and attention, without the constant distraction of phones, tablets, or laptops, students are more likely to stay engaged with lessons, discussions, and classroom activities.\r\n\r\nConsidereing increased participation , students are more likely to contribute to class discussions, ask questions, and collaborate with peers when screens are not competing for their attention.\r\n\r\nAnd finally, reflecting upon stronger social skills, face-to-face interactions help students develop communication, teamwork, and conflict-resolution skills that are difficult to practice through screens.","fullyFundedDate":1772546734964,"projectUrl":"project/reading-note-taking-and-writing-suppor/10030299/","projectTitle":"Reading, Note-taking, and Writing Support","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Hightower","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8017854"},{"teacherId":7936803,"projectId":10136001,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to help me procure copy paper for my classroom. This has allowed me to push students off their screens and Chromebooks and onto paper and pencil activities for the rest of this school year and much of the next school year. By doing so, I am not only helping my students' mental, physical, and social health but also increasing their learning and retention through the handwriting of all content material.\r\n\r\nFor my AP classes, this has helped us do unit review guides through methods that will stay in their core memories long after they take the exams in May. WE have been able to annotate, analyze, and break down MCQ and FRQ/SAQ questions, which have increased student accuracy, confidence, and writing skills. Also, we have been able to access primary sources and navigate through the difficult process of figuring out what they say in my AP World class. For my on-level seniors, this has given them access to hands-on Financial literacy activities to really help them understand how to manage their money after high school and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1775667805096,"projectUrl":"project/getting-back-to-basics/10136001/","projectTitle":"Getting Back to Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Viri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7936803"},{"teacherId":7936803,"projectId":9613335,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kind donation to help purchase these soccer balls for our upcoming soccer season.
