The wall file hangers and turn-in boxes have created a clear system for students to get their materials and submit their work. 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.

On behalf of our psychaitric social workers and student community, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude for your generous donation of the photo booth to support mental health awareness and student engagement.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful gift has already sparked great excitement and interest among our students. 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. Your donation has already made an impact by inspiring new ideas and energy around our mental health efforts. We're eager to bring your vision to life and look forward to sharing photos and stories of students enjoying the booth in the near future.","fullyFundedDate":1737260656180,"projectUrl":"project/bring-wellness-back/8824238/","projectTitle":"Bring Wellness Back","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ortiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9779075_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727322675217","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9779075"},{"teacherId":9635327,"projectId":9154476,"letterContent":"Students are already enthusiastically using the supplies that were provided through your donation and have placed four of their most recent essays in their individual folders and reflected on their progress by graphing their scores over time, noting their strengths and weaknesses on each attempt, and giving a partner detailed feedback for their next attempt.

Over the course of two weeks, they had the chance to code Edison Robots to perform various functions and navigate through various obstacle courses, allowing them to witness the real-time impact of their work. This hands-on experience not only strengthened their coding skills but also encouraged critical thinking, problem-solving, and persistence as they debugged and refined their code.\r\n\r\nBeyond technical skills, the project fostered collaboration and teamwork as students worked together to overcome challenges in coding. The task of navigating the robots through obstacles also provided an opportunity to model real-world problem-solving, giving them insight into how robotics might play a role in future industries. Particularly, the discussion around robotics' future potential was especially impactful given the context of the recent LA wildfires. The students left the project with a renewed sense of hope and possibility, understanding that they, too, could contribute to shaping a future in which robotics can solve critical problems. This invaluable experience would not have been possible without the kindness and support of the DonorsChoose community, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1732905461348,"projectUrl":"project/edison-robotics-building-tomorrows-pro/8962133/","projectTitle":"Edison Robotics: Building Tomorrow's Problem Solvers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9054617_orig.jpg?crop=1179,1179,x0,y98&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739843846505","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-thong"},{"teacherId":2093021,"projectId":8911576,"letterContent":"The new resources in our classroom have had a noticeable impact on both the atmosphere and student engagement. The addition of the new classroom lights has created a positive vibe and mood, helping students feel more focused and energized during lessons. One student even mentioned how much better the classroom looks now. The ability to open the windows with the new shade covers has made the space feel much more inviting and spacious, giving students a more comfortable environment in which to work. One particular moment that stood out was when students were able to use the calm corner. A few students took advantage of it this past semester, using the sensory strips, posters, and stress balls to help them refocus or unwind during particularly challenging moments. It's been amazing to see how these small changes have made such a big difference in how students engage with their learning.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their reactions were incredibly positive! They were thrilled with the changes, with many commenting on how much better the classroom looked and felt. The calm corner was especially appreciated, and several students mentioned how it would be helpful when they needed a quick break. Additionally, the surprise snacks for winning Blooket or other group games have been a fun incentive, and the students love receiving them. These small rewards have contributed to an overall increase in motivation and excitement for participating in class activities.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the next steps will involve continuing to integrate these resources into our classroom routine. Students will continue to enjoy the surprise snacks or smelly stickers as rewards for winning games like Blooket, which has become a popular classroom activity. They'll also keep utilizing the calm corner, especially with the sensory items that help them manage stress or simply take a short break when needed. These additions have provided students with both a more enjoyable and a more supportive learning environment, and I'm excited to see how they continue to thrive with these resources in place.","fullyFundedDate":1730768806805,"projectUrl":"project/cultivating-a-more-calming-and-inviting/8911576/","projectTitle":"Cultivating a More Calming and Inviting Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Jennifer Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missjlo555"},{"teacherId":9546794,"projectId":8663865,"letterContent":"Your support was meaningful in creating a fun, reflective, and mindful classroom environment.
