The moment my students saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. One student shouted, \"We get to play Lotería? In class?!\" and from that moment, I knew these tools would be both engaging and educational.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite activities so far has been using the Lotería cards during our Spanish language and vocabulary lessons. Students practiced identifying and describing the pictures in Spanish, helping them build both their language skills and cultural awareness in a fun, interactive way. \r\n\r\nWe've also used the sequencing cards. Students worked in small groups to tell a story using the cards. It was amazing to see them collaborate, use critical thinking, and proudly explain the beginning, middle, and end of the story in their own words.\r\n\r\nThe books have sparked some great discussions and independent reading time. One student, who previously struggled with staying focused, was so engaged with a new book that he asked to take it home to finish it. \r\n\r\nAnd of course, the cleaning supplies have helped us keep our learning space organized, safe, and welcoming. Students have taken ownership of keeping their area clean, which has been a great lesson in responsibility and community.\r\n\r\nThank you for bringing joy, structure, and learning into our classroom.

Our students and club members are thrilled to wear their new t-shirts, showcasing their creativity and hard work in designing all 55 shirts.\r\n\r\nWhen the delivery of the circuit with accessories, the heat press, and white t-shirts arrived in my classroom, the excitement was palpable. Students jumped at the chance to not only design t-shirts but also to customize graduation sashes and create letters for bulletin boards and posters. Their reactions were filled with joy and pride as they engaged with the materials.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue using these resources for various projects throughout the year. The skills and confidence they've gained will benefit them in many future endeavors, and we are truly grateful for your contribution.

We have also been using the laminators to laminate some \"Know Your Rights\" cards for any of our community members who may be affected or know someone who is affected by immigration policies. I have even had other teachers ask me to laminate some student work for them as well, like the hand-made bookmarks made in English class/Advisory, which has allowed me to brighten the days of students not in my classes as well. \r\n\r\nThe Cricut machine has helped my Leadership students spruce up their bulletin boards, posters, and school-wide activities, and it has also provided them with an opportunity to learn a new skill and use technology that they likely wouldn't be able to afford to learn/use in their everyday life.","fullyFundedDate":1734539632037,"projectUrl":"project/creativity-and-math-bffs/8930696/","projectTitle":"Creativity and Math: BFFs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Strehlow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7640217"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102348","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":435,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":86,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.4,"schoolId":102348,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Los Angeles High School for the Arts on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Los Angeles High School for the Arts","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/los-angeles-high-school-of-the-arts/102348"}
