It is slow going through the stories because I have so many newcomers in class. With the help of my capable paraprofessional, we discuss the stories in both English and Spanish to be sure that everybody understands the meanings. \r\n\r\nAll of my students in both English class and French class enjoy using the white boards, as you can see in the images.

With your donation, I was able to purchase much needed supplies for my students. They have been able to replace old worn out binders, throw away highlighters that haven't worked in years, and complete their mathematics work without having to share with 2 or more students. \r\n\r\nMy students are incredibly grateful to have new supplies and often comment on how happy they are to have materials that are nice. Most of my students have spent their entire high school careers dealing with the aftermath of COVID and the impact it had on both their education, as well as their access to materials that students from previous years took for granted. \r\n\r\nI cannot put into words how incredibly grateful I am for your amazing donation.

My student's were so excited when they saw the materials. They have really enjoyed each having their own whiteboard to work on that is brand new. There has not been any time wasted picking through the whiteboards to find the cleanest one. They have all been a lot more engaged during our whiteboard activities. \r\nStudents also really enjoyed having a microwave when we did our nutrition label lab. They were allowed to bring the nutrition label and a snack to share.

This is absolutely perfect for us because it is effective, cost efficient and doesn't require any technology to function. It can be used anywhere as well so it can be of use for our student athletes. \r\n We very much appreciate your support and hope to work with you again in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1723139901042,"projectUrl":"project/therapeutic-tools-for-sports-medicine-pr/8564281/","projectTitle":"Therapeutic Tools For Sports Medicine Professionals Of The Future","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Boyd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9246322"},{"teacherId":3045064,"projectId":8574897,"letterContent":"My students have been blown away by how warm, inviting, and fun the classroom atmosphere is now that we have different lighting. The fluorescent light covers really bring down the intensity, and allow students to be able to read in comfort without strain on their eyes. The LED strip lights are fun while providing an extra source of ambient light. My students have enjoyed doing our bite-size vocab lessons to start class, and each week a different student takes the lead in instructing our 5-minute fundamentals.\r\n\r\nOur room is now a \"vibe\" and \"super chill,\" which according to high school students, is a good thing! :) The figurative language posters are also a hit and a resource that is being accessed regularly as an easy and efficient accommodation for English.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your donations to my classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1727462830155,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-bensons-english-intervention-suppo/8574897/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Benson's English Intervention Support Classroom Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Benson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3045064_orig.jpg?crop=820,820,x137,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723044561414","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cassie-benson"},{"teacherId":9236285,"projectId":8574584,"letterContent":"Working in groups at the vertical whiteboards has become the norm in my classroom. Having the supplies at each station students has kept the students productive and on task. Last week my AP Calculus class were working on related rate problems in random groups at the vertical white boards. The students were able to do a \"gallery walk\" and have discussions with other groups on how the problems were done and the different approaches they took. \r\n\r\nStudents now prefer to work on the whiteboards and share their work in group discussions. It is easier for them to correct mistakes and they are more willing to try an approach because it is easier to erase and try something new. We will be needing to increase the budget next year for more markers. \r\nMy students used to write on their desks with whiteboard markers. The students were especially liked the little individual whiteboard erasers. Using kleenex and paper towels to erase the desks was getting old.","fullyFundedDate":1727474621917,"projectUrl":"project/effortful-thinking-stations-with-random/8574584/","projectTitle":"Effortful Thinking Stations with Random Groups","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9236285"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41480","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":628,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":60,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":41480,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Delta High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Delta High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/delta-co-school-district-50-j/delta-high-school/41480"}
