My advisory was able to create some anti-hate speech posters with the art supplies. In math 8 and algebra 1, we have been using the rulers and markers and pencils like crazy! One of my favorite activities to do with the kids is a stained glass equation project where algebra students get to design and color in their own stained glass window, and then write the equations for all the lines they used. This year it was a big success! We will continue to use these wonderful resources throughout the year and we love having journals to write our thoughts and notes in, and we really appreciate the fact that there are people out there who are supporting us in our classroom.

There are no distractions and students can get started learning right away. \r\n\r\nIn addition to enough materials, students have loved the fun supplies like stickers. They are so excited when they get a test or quiz back with a cute sticker if they pass.

These whiteboards and markers have allowed students to feel more comfortable in trying out new things, because it feels lower stakes to erase on a whiteboard rather than erase a paper. Students are also more likely to work together, I've found, and write on each others' whiteboards. This has helped to not only grow their confidence, but also their ability to collaborate and communicate their thinking.\r\n\r\nThe bandaids have also been very helpful, allowing for students to manage their scrapes and cuts inside the classroom rather than going to the school nurse, who is unfortunately not consistently on campus.","fullyFundedDate":1754320607227,"projectUrl":"project/picture-this/9448823/","projectTitle":"Picture This!","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.

These benefits go far beyond the classroom and contribute to lifelong habits of wellness and cooperation.\r\nOnce again, thank you for your support and generosity.

Every student was able to take home at least on of the projects with multiple kids being able to take home all 3 of the projects.
