Students have been very keen to use scissors that fit high-school aged hands, as well as heavy-duty, multi-colored poster paper for the projects we've been working on. The students' water bottles (and other miscellaneous personal items) have significantly more flair than they did before, thanks to the stickers I use as incentives as part of my classroom's PBIS system. This time of year is usually tight, due to rationing what supplies are left from the fall. But we feel like it's the first week of school all over again!

Your donation has provided me with the tools I need to effectively teach my students mindfulness skills that they can use in my classroom and carry with them as they embark on their journey after high school. Practicing mindfulness has countless, undeniable benefits that can change the trajectory of one's life. Mindfulness helps students to stay present in class, manage stress, and be more aware of themselves and others. Thank you for helping me pass on these skills to our future leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1768704666768,"projectUrl":"project/mindfulness-for-high-school-students/10029598/","projectTitle":"Mindfulness for High School Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Simonson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9351835_orig.png?crop=496,496,x0,y21&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727468319563","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9351835"},{"teacherId":641034,"projectId":9868557,"letterContent":"Thank you for contributing to my project and helping make my classroom a more organized space for me and my students. The wooden bookshelves make it convenient to store our textbooks anywhere in the room - I'm no longer limited to the bookcases that house all of our other materials. I was able to move them away from a high-trafficked area of the classroom and put them where students wouldn't have to disrupt the whole class to get to them. The new bins we now use to house our daily class supplies for table groups are much bigger than the old ones. Now we have no problem fitting our daily supplies in one bin. Finally, the privacy screens enable me to be less vigilant with regards to possible academic dishonesty. I can focus more of my attention on helping students and supporting their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1767129770660,"projectUrl":"project/keep-us-honest-and-organized/9868557/","projectTitle":"Keep us Honest and Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp641034_orig.jpg?crop=787,787,x350,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750633516211","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/zamanderson"},{"teacherId":8098202,"projectId":9491361,"letterContent":"Being able to draw with colors make it exponentially easier to recognize patterns and emphasize important details.

In high school, English Learners often need extra help finding books that are at an appropriate difficulty and maturity level. The selection of graphic novels in English, translation dictionaries, novels in Spanish, and stories in Persian are deeply appreciated. \r\n At the beginning of every class, students read a book of choice to develop their love of reading and establish a strong routine to take advantage of limited instructional minutes. Students in my classes have been exchanging copies of the Twilight series in Spanish, which reinforces their home language literacy while learning English. Other students are reading out loud to each other in multiple languages. The graphic novels are a hit, and many students are testing out texts that they would have never have gotten access to without your help.

The smiles on our students' faces when they saw their favorite books return were priceless.\r\n\r\nFor many of our students, the school library is their main source of reading material. With limited access to public libraries, having these books available right here on campus makes a world of difference.
