Therefore, having an iPad in the classroom is a good way to practice vocabulary; now they are using kahoot, blooket to practice or reinforce concepts.\r\n\r\nBecause I teach math and science alongside Spanish, these devices let students move fluidly between languages and subjects, building academic vocabulary in both languages at the same time.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just buy devices, but it also gave my students a new way to see themselves as capable learners across every subject.

I am beyond thankful to have these resources available for my students and to be able to create a space where they feel supported, comfortable, and cared for.\r\n\r\nAlthough arts and crafts may seem a little unusual for a PE class, one of our projects, \"Walking a Mile in Our Shoes,\" gives students the opportunity to be creative while sharing their own stories. Each student designs their own shoe to represent who they are, their experiences, and what makes them unique.

Having new equipment available allowed us to start the year with more resources and more opportunities for students to participate.\r\n\r\nThe soccer goal has been a huge perk and is being used constantly throughout the school day. Our badminton unit is also picking up, and having sturdy birdies has made a noticeable difference.

One of the most heartwarming moments was being able to provide a brand new laptop to one hardworking student from this year's senior class during the Decision Day Celebration. Having access to technology is a basic necessity and will contribute to this student's success in their college journey. \r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without the kindness of each donor.

This rotation ensures that learning remains dynamic and collaborative for everyone.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, students who need extra support can practice at their own pace during their turn, revisiting challenging concepts and reinforcing their understanding.

At the beginning of this academic year, I found myself feeling frustrated and discouraged as I struggled to meet my students' needs without the necessary resources. When my school district was unable to provide even basic supplies like toner, I turned to DonorsChoose. Your support made a lasting impact, allowing me to better serve my students in ways that would not have been possible otherwise.\r\n\r\nAmong the things that have directly impacted my students have been printer toner cartridges I received. The printer toner alone has allowed me to print transcripts, work permits, resumes, scholarship applications, and recommendation letters—critical tools for my students' academic and career journeys. With our main office relocated due to construction, access to shared equipment became limited, making it challenging to do daily tasks. So having a reliable printer in my own office has truly been a blessing. \r\n\r\nIn addition, the snacks, binders, and mobile standing desk you provided have transformed both my counseling space and my after-school college preparatory class. This year a colleague, and I were asked to teach a college preparatory class called One Goal 101. Being an after school class session, students stay engaged with snacks during long days. The binders you donated will keep their important materials organized over the next two years of their One Goal journey. \r\n\r\nAs for the mobile standing desk, it has been put to good use. I use it during school events such as Open House to move around while checking in with parents. I also use it when meeting with students for quick check-ins with students in the hallways. When my desk is not being used in the hallways, it becomes a sitting desk for my students when they come in for support. From supporting students with financial aid applications, creating college admission accounts, or scholarship support, students find themselves using the mobile desk.\r\n\r\nI find great joy in seeing my students, with your generosity, have a space where they feel safe, supported, and valued. Whether they are grabbing a snack, organizing their goals, or sitting down to talk about their future, they know they are in a place that cares for them. That sense of belonging is invaluable, and it is something I could not have built without your kindness. Thank you for believing in my students and in the work I do —you have truly made a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1766249373419,"projectUrl":"project/counselors-wishlist-snacks-supplies/9686620/","projectTitle":"Counselor's Wishlist: Snacks, Supplies, and Success to Help Students Thrive","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Calderon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7412624_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y403&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1600060816208","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7412624"},{"teacherId":6851413,"projectId":9370260,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for your kind and generous donation for my students!
