The new materials you provided have allowed us to introduce literacy skills in meaningful ways. Students are practicing making inferences, identifying themes, analyzing characters' motivations, and supporting their thinking with text evidence. These materials have made it possible to teach these skills through texts that capture students' interest, which makes all the difference in helping lessons stick.\r\n\r\nDuring read-aloud time, the room becomes quiet as students hang on every word, and afterward, the room livens up with conversations and opinions on what was just discovered. Several students who were once reluctant readers are now eager to grab a book and discover where the day's reading will take us. Students have discovered that texts they once thought was imposible to read are devouring them like never before. \r\n\r\nYour donations have done more than fill our shelves—they have sparked curiosity and helped our students see themselves as capable, enthusiastic readers.

Students helped select the books that we ordered. The books helped fill gaps in existing series, bolster aging popular categories (sports, for example), and expand our manga selection. Boxes of books began arriving, and students eagerly opened them and sorted them into piles. As quickly as I could enter them into the system, library aides were printing stickers and preparing the books for checkout. Students have been happily checking out new books and asking for more.\r\n\r\nCollections and sections that you contributed to: classics and retellings, sports, manga, general fiction, and graphic novels. We have been blessed as a school community by your generosity. The photos are not very exciting, but let me explain. The cart is a sample of what your donation purchased for us. Both sides of that cart were full of new books. The messy shelves are what it looks like after three 9th-grade classes spend the day talking about reading and book checkouts. Manga is incredibly popular with my students. They can read them incredibly fast, so the library is the perfect place to pick them up. They share recommendations, and suddenly, more students are reading. \r\n\r\nThank you for enabling high schoolers to travel the world and fictional worlds without leaving their school.","fullyFundedDate":1761409835086,"projectUrl":"project/reading-takes-you-to-new-places-update/9851842/","projectTitle":"Reading Takes You to New Places!

Empowering Students Through Digital Media Literacy.\" Because of your generosity, my students now have access to Canon Rebel T7 DSLR cameras, which has completely transformed how they learn photography and visual storytelling. Instead of only talking about concepts like shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and composition, students are now applying them hands-on, experimenting with real cameras and learning how images are intentionally created, not just captured. This has helped them become more thoughtful creators and more critical consumers of digital media.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about using the T7 cameras is the level of control and professionalism they offer. Students love being able to manually adjust settings, see immediate results, and refine their work through trial and error. Many students who were hesitant at first have gained confidence as they realized they could master the camera and produce powerful images. I have seen particular growth from students who struggle in traditional academic settings but thrive in hands-on, creative environments, these cameras have given them a way to shine.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students are developing real-world skills in photography, digital literacy, and visual communication that extend far beyond the classroom. They are learning how images influence emotion, perception, and storytelling, skills that are essential in today's media-driven world. Thank you for investing in my students' creativity, confidence, and future opportunities.

Having reliable, secure digital storage has made a huge difference in how they learn. Students can now safely save, organize, and back up their work without fear of losing hours of progress due to device issues or accidental deletions. This allows them to focus more on creativity, problem-solving, and refining their skills rather than worrying about whether their work will disappear.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about this new technology is the sense of professionalism it brings to their work. They are learning industry-standard habits like file management, version control, and protecting intellectual property skills that directly translate to college programs and creative careers. Several students who previously struggled with organization have already shown growth and confidence because they know their projects are safe and accessible when they need them. It has also encouraged students to take more creative risks, knowing their work is protected and can be revised or improved over time.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, I am able to teach my students real-world digital responsibility while supporting their creativity and future goals.
