Your support made our classroom a creative engineering space, and our students creative engineers! \r\n\r\nWe already used these materials in meaningful ways. During our jump party, students created a jump persona and costume. In that activity, students collected real data of jump height and jump person mass to plot a graph of mass and jump height. We were able to explore real physics concepts of mass, force and energy. \r\n\r\nWith your help, physics in our classroom became a direct hands on experience.

The class enjoyed the novel and made beautiful connections to humanity and issues that were relevant to them. Throughout teaching this novel, I learned that many of my students enjoy dystopian novels much more than I expected! \r\n\r\nStudents were engaged in reading in groups, writing short constructed responses, full length essays, and participating in socratic seminars every week during class time. Out of all the different modes of demonstrating what they learned, they most enjoyed reading in groups. I learned that they love reading texts out loud. At times, students struggled with reading comprehension, but nonetheless read the entire novel and pushed through!

This has saved time and reduced confusion, allowing students to focus more on learning rather than figuring out where things are. Our routines now run smoothly, and the classroom feels more efficient and calm.\r\n\r\nThe desk dividers have also made a big impact, especially during independent work and assessments. Students use them to create their own focused spaces, helping them concentrate better and work with confidence. Paired with the headsets, students are able to block out distractions and stay engaged in their self-paced lessons.\r\n\r\nThese tools have helped students become more independent, responsible, and proud of their learning space.

We envision the photo booth becoming a powerful tool to break the stigma surrounding mental health by creating fun, safe, and expressive moments at our events. It's a unique and creative way to foster connection and positivity on campus.\r\n\r\nWhile we're incredibly grateful for this opportunity, we want to be transparent about some initial challenges we've encountered. Unfortunately, the setup requires additional accessories—including an iPad and compatible software—that we currently do not have on hand. These have presented a temporary barrier to fully utilizing the booth as intended.\r\n\r\nThat said, we're actively working on acquiring the necessary equipment to ensure everything is fully functional and ready to go. We're committed to making the most of this amazing resource and are planning to launch it at future student wellness and engagement events once the setup is complete.\r\n\r\nPlease know how deeply we appreciate your support.
