Our students lit with excitement at the sight of the supplies; they are working hard to use the materials effectively and creatively to improve the layout of the classroom. As you can see from the pictures, students were empowered to assemble some of the stands; others helped with placement of lights. Students are also developing routines and expectations to keep the lab dust and allergen free.\r\n\r\nThis project directly impacted engagement of our students; there were \"oohs\", \"woahs\" and compliments toward the lights. They also noted how much more organized the equipment was. Guest students asked \"how can I be in this class\"? These touches let students know they are welcome and safe to be their best selves. \r\n\r\nMoving forward, we'd like to prepare for more engagement. We're anticipating the updated layout invites more students to use the equipment. This room is not set in stone and our students feel ready to meet whatever new challenges lay ahead. Once again, thank you for the support.","fullyFundedDate":1780523167739,"projectUrl":"project/brightening-and-maintaining-our-tech-spa/10317158/","projectTitle":"Brightening and Maintaining our Tech Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Saltos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10310951_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y25&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760385077067","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10310951"},{"teacherId":10310951,"projectId":10117106,"letterContent":"Thank you for your support in helping us organize our lab. It's true the most important in this type of space is the equipment: pc's, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. It's the muscle of the learning that takes place. What is often overlooked is how to best manage it. We now have more flexibility in our room layout with the rolling displays and don't have to use tables that should be used for students. \r\n\r\nThis project also empowered students to take ownership of the classroom environment since many contributed to the set up of the rolling carts, cable management and decorating with poster/lights. Students are more accountable for using the equipment and they approach learning opportunities with more appreciation and respect. We still have a few more ideas on the horizon to maintain our lab but we are so grateful you helped us have a more simple, cleaner and organized environment.

Before, students had to cluster near the walls to charge their Chromebooks, which made collaboration messy and left some kids working with nearly dead batteries. Now, every student can stay at their own desk, fully charged, and focused. It's one of those small things that makes a huge difference every single day.\r\n\r\nThe spaghetti bridge project — our classroom highlight\r\nThe spaghetti, hot glue guns, and glue sticks you provided made our spaghetti bridge engineering challenge possible. Students worked in small teams to design and build bridges using only dry spaghetti and hot glue — then we tested how much weight each one could hold before breaking.\r\n\r\nThe moment the materials were handed out, the energy in the room completely shifted. Eyes lit up. Students who are usually quiet started jumping into discussions about which designs would be strongest. One student said, \"Wait — we're really building something?\" That reaction said it all.\r\n\r\nYour generosity gave these students a hands-on experience that no textbook can replicate. They got to be engineers — even just for a week — and that kind of learning sticks.","fullyFundedDate":1776135397183,"projectUrl":"project/creative-interactions/10074470/","projectTitle":"Creative Interactions","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2153620"},{"teacherId":9568488,"projectId":10066989,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in purchasing stickers for our students.

In a cell phone-free environment, this technology has become an essential bridge, allowing students to interact with Spanish in dynamic and meaningful ways. Instead of only writing or speaking in traditional formats, students are now filming cooking demonstrations in Spanish, recording role-play conversations, and creating audio projects that build both their confidence and fluency. The iPad allows them to hear themselves, revise their work, and take ownership of their learning in a way that feels authentic and relevant. For many donors who may not see this in action, it's important to know that this type of technology supports language acquisition by combining listening, speaking, reading, and writing into one interactive experience.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is the creative freedom the iPad provides. They love being able to record videos, add their own personal touches, and collaborate with classmates on projects that feel real-world and purposeful. One of the most rewarding moments has been seeing students who are typically shy or hesitant to speak in class come alive through these projects. For example, one student who rarely volunteered began confidently recording and re-recording her role-play until she was proud of her final product—something she later asked to share with the class. This technology has not only enhanced their language skills but has also empowered students to take risks, express themselves, and truly enjoy the learning process.","fullyFundedDate":1742959557833,"projectUrl":"project/capture-create-and-learn-ipad-for-stu/9204162/","projectTitle":"Capture, Create, and Learn: iPad for Student Projects and Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Carrola","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1272514_orig.jpg?crop=393,393,x0,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674194481577","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-carrola"},{"teacherId":1272514,"projectId":10056772,"letterContent":"Your donation has transformed our classroom into a space where students feel safe to express themselves, reflect, and create with purpose. From the moment the materials were introduced, there was an immediate sense of excitement—students were drawn to the vintage stickers, colorful stationery, and bright envelopes, eager to begin writing their letters to their future selves. The magnetic clips now proudly display their work, serving as a daily reminder that their voices and time spent on their projects matter.\r\n\r\nThe resources have also helped create a more structured and calming classroom environment. The digital clock has been especially impactful for students who struggle with transitions, helping them stay grounded and manage their time more effectively. Meanwhile, the plants have brought a peaceful presence into our space—students take turns caring for them, and in doing so, they are learning responsibility and mindfulness. The rolling cart has made student materials easily accessible.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue adding to their time capsules throughout the year, revisiting their letters and reflecting on their growth. We are also beginning to incorporate more structured journaling activities and peer discussions to deepen their self-awareness and connection with one another. Thanks to your generosity, this project has become more than an activity—it is a meaningful journey that is helping students better understand themselves and their futures.","fullyFundedDate":1771651433575,"projectUrl":"project/calming-spaces-building-our-classroom-t/10056772/","projectTitle":"Calming Spaces: Building Our Classroom Time Capsule","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Carrola","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1272514_orig.jpg?crop=393,393,x0,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674194481577","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-carrola"},{"teacherId":1200364,"projectId":10093997,"letterContent":"This morning at 7:45 am, we had our tutoring session and about 10 to 15 students attended.
