It introduces my students to the sophisticated world of narrative nonfiction, teaching them how to track complex themes like community identity and social pressure across a real-world landscape. Many of our readers are just beginning to master the art of rhetorical analysis, and having a high-interest text allows them to practice identifying authorial bias and perspective in a way that feels relevant and urgent to their own lives.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is a dynamic, social process. We focus on \"reading with a pencil,\" where students annotate the text to prepare for collaborative discussions. This project is helping transform reading from a solitary task into a shared intellectual experience, building a culture where every student feels equipped to contribute to the conversation.\r\n\r\nWe are already seeing a shift in engagement, particularly among students who have historically felt disconnected from traditional literature. For many of them, the intersection of sports and society provides an accessible entry point into high-level critical thinking. Your support is providing the spark for that curiosity, ensuring that every student in my room sees themselves as a capable and insightful reader.","fullyFundedDate":1760810925461,"projectUrl":"project/friday-night-lights/9836110/","projectTitle":"Friday Night Lights","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10315159"},{"teacherId":10313521,"projectId":9832397,"letterContent":"The gift of a class set of Lois Lowry's \"Number the Stars\" allowed us to explore the Holocaust through the lens of a young person. We explored concepts of agency, power, and justice as we read. We created classroom \"quilts\" that reflect our individual and collective interpretations of the book as it relates to the concepts studied. We also used the large poster paper to analyze ideas in some classes. Your gift enabled us to incorporate a novel unit into our curriculum for the first time, and three of my four classes asked if we could read another book! This is a huge win for our building-wide efforts to support reading fluency in our learners.

We use the whiteboards daily for problem-solving and quick checks for understanding, which allows every student to actively participate without the pressure of getting something \"wrong\" on paper. The anchor charts have become an essential reference tool—students independently use them to connect academic vocabulary to what they are learning, especially during writing and discussion activities.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite classroom moments happened during a recent lesson where students were analyzing math problems and explaining their thinking. Using the whiteboards, they worked through problems, annotated key information, and then shared their reasoning with peers. I saw students who are usually hesitant to participate confidently explain their thought process, using vocabulary from the anchor charts. It was incredible to see their confidence and communication skills grow in real time.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were excited and eager to use them. The whiteboards, in particular, made learning feel more interactive and less intimidating. Many students immediately became more willing to take risks and try new strategies.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue building on these skills by focusing on deeper problem analysis, structured discussions, and written explanations across subjects. Students will be working on connecting their thinking in math to their writing, using academic language to justify their answers and reflect on their learning. These resources will continue to support differentiated instruction, helping each student grow as a confident learner.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this meaningful learning possible for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1767128447258,"projectUrl":"project/building-math-and-literacy-fluency-throu/9848112/","projectTitle":"Building Math and Literacy Fluency Through Differentiated Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Beier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9552497"},{"teacherId":7786134,"projectId":9816490,"letterContent":"The game Cytosis has significantly improved student engagement in my biology class by turning complex cellular processes into interactive, hands-on learning experiences. Instead of passively memorizing organelle functions, students actively \"build\" enzymes, hormones, and cell structures, which helps them visualize how different parts of the cell work together. The collaborative and competitive aspects of the game also encourage discussion, critical thinking, and problem-solving, making abstract concepts more concrete and memorable.\r\n\r\nLaminated study guides have also enhanced engagement by giving students reusable, organized resources they can actively interact with during lessons. Because students can write on them with dry-erase markers, they are more willing to attempt labeling diagrams, practicing vocabulary, and answering review questions without fear of making permanent mistakes. This flexibility promotes participation, quick formative assessment, and ongoing review, helping students feel more confident and involved in their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1760304058808,"projectUrl":"project/biology-literacy-materials/9816490/","projectTitle":"Biology Literacy Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Havrilla","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7786134"},{"teacherId":6758805,"projectId":9826054,"letterContent":"My students were extremely delighted when they saw the materials. We have had multiple occasions to use the items. For example, it might sound like a small detail, but but the seat cushions have been effective in keeping wandering students in their seats. When students are seated they are able to pay attention to whole group instruction and stay in their seats to work on small group and individual work. \r\nHere is an example of how I am using other materials: The students have read \"Romeo and Juliet\" and are writing about the Shakespeare play. For this project they are required to decide who is most responsible for the deaths of each of the main characters. After they decided who they personally felt was most responsible, they negotiated with a small group. Then they used the chart paper to make a huge pie chart with percentages and major reasons for each characters' degree of guilt. Students used stickies, sharpies, and the post-in note chart papers for this project. It has been a huge success. Next they will write an essay and the posters will be available for review. \r\nThank you again for your donation which is helping me build literacy in my 9th and 10th graders one student at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1761151181680,"projectUrl":"project/grow-9th-and-10th-grade-literacy/9826054/","projectTitle":"Grow 9th and 10th Grade Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Redmond","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6758805"},{"teacherId":4017291,"projectId":9833509,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom and for making my students autonomy projects possible.

Students are able to work in groups and individually and are able to choose how they represent their thinking, organize information, and express their ideas in ways that feel meaningful to them. This freedom of choice has increased engagement, confidence, and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nMore importantly, these materials support an environment where students feel trusted as decision-makers. Whether they are designing visual responses, annotating texts creatively, or collaborating on projects, they are learning that their voices and choices matter.\r\n\r\nYour generosity goes far beyond supplies—it helps foster independence, creativity, and a love of learning.

The large sticky pads allowed them to circulate around the room while working with partners to discover different ways of solving probability problems. In addition, the small notebooks have been helping my students stay organized. They are each using two of the small notebooks. One notebook they use each day to complete SAT practice problems. The other notebook they use each day to complete warm ups for current concepts they are working through. The filing system allows each class to keep their notebooks in the classroom so they never get lost. What they really love are the individual white boards. They love to do their work on these boards and then show their work to each other or to me. They like that they can easily wipe away errors and recalculate when they go off track. \r\n\r\nIn my 12th grade statistics classes, we used the small notebooks to work through warm up statistic problems and then share them with partners. They also use the small notebooks to complete exit tickets, tear out their work and switch with a partner to see how their partner solved a similar problem. In addition, they are using the large sticky pads to keep a classroom set of formulas for each unit. When they have a test, they can easily see what formulas they might need to use.

By physically manipulating math ideas, students can better understand relationships between numbers, symbols, and vocabulary. The boards also give students a structured way to explain their reasoning, helping strengthen both mathematical understanding and academic literacy.\r\n\r\nThese materials will make a powerful difference because they encourage active participation, immediate feedback, and collaborative problem-solving.

This low-pressure environment supports productive struggle, builds confidence, and promotes meaningful math discourse—especially during small-group instruction and intervention.\r\n\r\nWith these magnetic boards, my students will gain the tools they need to take ownership of their learning, communicate their thinking clearly, and develop the problem-solving and literacy skills essential for success in math and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1760908430599,"projectUrl":"project/magnetic-minds-strengthening-math-liter/9843339/","projectTitle":"Magnetic Minds: Strengthening Math Literacy Through Hands-On Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Whitaker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9552498_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y224&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1767805568446","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9552498"},{"teacherId":10311071,"projectId":9825802,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for positively impacting my science classroom and the students that enter it every day. The first things that got used were the Floor Table tray and the adjustable standing desk. These additions to the classroom have allowed students that need to stand while they work to have a space that allows this. Additionally, students have used it while they sit on the floor with their group in order to change up their focus and attention. High school students sit a long time during the school day and don't have adequate time or opportunity to stretch their legs or work in a way that benefits their attention. One student needed a separate space that was away from other peers so that he could focus. With a large class, all the normal seats were taken but with the adjustable standing desk available, he was able to bring a chair to a secluded space and work at the desk leading to better work flow. Thank you for helping create that space. \r\nThe Biology poster set and the cell poster have been a bright and beautiful way to display content learned to help remind them of the basics as we continue to layer the content. They are used as a daily reference for the class as a whole but can also be used for student groups to work with. Additionally, the flow of genetic information kit has helped bring this complex process to life which leads to good conversation about the length of the process and fixing mutations. To deepen critical thinking of a basic vocabulary comprehension, the hexagons have been a great manipulative. I had them laminated which allows them to be reused as many times as possible. The students love moving unit vocabulary words to make deeper connections of the terms. This has helped them see that, while each word has its own meaning, the terms are all connected. \r\nTeaching graphing basics to freshmen and modeling proper graphing even for AP students is a crucial part of science literacy. The giant magnetic graph and array chart allows me to model this large enough for students to see and efficiently so that it doesn't take up large amounts of class time to set up. Student groups can also utilize this so that they can display what they know or how they would display the data set. This goes for the magnetic lined paper as well. Students have a hard time knowing how to organize a blank sheet of lined paper and it is my job to help these freshmen learn to pay attention to detail and learn how to properly communicate on a lined piece of paper. This is a tool that I use heavily at the beginning of the year and after long breaks as a refresher. \r\nThese tools may seem small and insignificant but these are tools that impact these students who are already struggling with literacy. Every tool that we are able to use impacts each learner in the way that they need leading to a citizen that can positively contribute to society due to the skills learned in this classroom. As Frederick Douglass once said, \"once you learn to read, you will be forever free\". This freedom comes from understanding what text or data sets say and being able to defend your position. These tools that you have generously donated to supply will forever shape the students in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1761870474112,"projectUrl":"project/high-school-science-literacy/9825802/","projectTitle":"High School Science Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Haley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10311071"},{"teacherId":10311070,"projectId":9825797,"letterContent":"I am beyond grateful for the supplies I have received to increase science literacy in my high school science classroom. While many of my resources are related to elements and bonding for our semester 2 coursework, we have already started to use many of the supplies. \r\n\r\nMy juniors are memorizing elements and their symbols using the flash cards. I am trying to build the skill of symbol recognition to aid in formula writing and chemical reactions (upcoming unit topics and key chemistry skills). My students have historically struggled with elements (names, pronunciation, spelling, and symbols) and I have not found a good way to encourage them to practice and study. These cards help reinforce element symbols and names plus provide work for students that finish early. Not only are they learning names and symbols, but they are already making real world connections in unexpected ways. \r\n\r\nIn a recent lesson on \"elements in the body\" we were brainstorming before starting a research activity. I was asking the students what element was in their bones to prompt an answer of \"calcium.\" To my surprise and elation, a student responded \"Calcium & phosphorus! They're in bones! Just like on the cards!\" I was blown away that they had made a connection beyond just memorizing element names and symbols. \r\n\r\nThe whiteboards and headphones have also proven their usefulness and will continue to build science literacy. Last year my students enjoyed using my limited whiteboard space to draw and practice Lewis structures and bonding. Now my students can each have their own board to work on. The headphones are great for students to watch and engage in videos during stations and to supplement coursework. One student exclaimed \"I think these are noise cancelling! It really helped me pay attention to the video.\"\r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for providing these supplies for my students.
