This course has no textbook, so the sources are the course: Supreme Court decisions, speeches, protest pamphlets, photographs, and chapters from historians who disagree with each other. The new printer means every student gets a clean, line-numbered copy to mark up. They underline, argue in the margins, and come back to the same page weeks later when they need evidence for an essay.\r\n\r\nOne lesson shows what that makes possible. Students built a paragraph comparing Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X by cutting printed evidence into strips and physically arranging them on their desks, source next to background knowledge, then writing the sentence that connects each pair. You can't do that on a laptop screen. The magnetic strips put the best paragraphs up on the board, where the whole class can see how a strong argument is built and erase and rearrange it together. Thank you for giving these students the tools to do history the way historians do it.","fullyFundedDate":1785947385608,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-collegeready-classroom-for-u/10434400/","projectTitle":"Creating a College‑Ready Classroom for Under‑Resourced Scholars","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10005505_orig.jpg?crop=2617,2617,x0,y366&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777422255163","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10005505"},{"teacherId":10005505,"projectId":10434338,"letterContent":"An unlabeled image goes up on the screen at the start of every class, and students reach for their notebooks. We call the routine Fieldnotes. Students write down only what they can see, and then I reveal what the object actually is along with a voice from inside the tradition. Those notebooks stay in the classroom all year. Before your gift they lived in leaning stacks on a back counter. Now each class has its own cubes on the new shelves, and students grab theirs on the way in without being asked. When the room is organized, the first five minutes go to thinking instead of searching.\r\n\r\nThe drawers changed what I can attempt. In World Religions, teams just finished eight-page comic books retelling the origin story of a Native nation, adapted strictly from a published telling by a Native author. One rule: anything the source leaves out has to be drawn as a dotted outline. That project needs markers, paper, rulers, and source cards for six teams in one two-hour block. Everything had a labeled drawer, so setup took minutes instead of half the period. Every student left with a full set of all six comics. Thank you for believing in these students. They noticed the difference.","fullyFundedDate":1785783027071,"projectUrl":"project/rebuilding-ib-history-creating-a-space/10434338/","projectTitle":"Rebuilding IB History: Creating a Space Where Scholars Thrive","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10005505_orig.jpg?crop=2617,2617,x0,y366&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777422255163","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10005505"},{"teacherId":1031883,"projectId":10360340,"letterContent":"The Canon Pixma Pro-200s has transformed how my 9th and 10th grade Magnet art students archive and present their physical artwork. By scanning and photographing their paintings, drawings, and mixed-media pieces, students are learning the essential skill of creating high-quality, color-accurate digital reproductions. Working with a professional printer teaches them how lighting, resolution, and paper choices directly impact how traditional media translates into print, giving them practical studio skills for preserving their original works.\r\n\r\nSeeing their physical artwork printed with gallery-level accuracy and fine detail has been incredibly exciting for these young artists. Reproducing their work on archival-quality paper gives them immediate pride and makes their portfolios look sleek and professional. This capability allows students to easily submit high-quality prints to contests, prepare entries for local exhibitions, and keep top-tier reproductions for their personal archives without sacrificing the rich colors and textures of their original pieces.

They are tools for communication, emotional expression, and connection. For students with autism, who may struggle to express themselves verbally, photography gives them a way to show what they see, feel, and experience. They are learning how to focus, frame, capture moments, and most importantly—tell their own stories.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students the most is that this is theirs. The moment they put on the headphones, pick up the camera, and step into that role—they light up. There's pride in holding something real, something professional. They're not just students... they're photographers.\r\n\r\nOne of the most beautiful things we've seen is how this project has supported social-emotional growth. Students are more engaged, more confident, and more willing to interact—with peers and staff. We've seen students initiate conversations, collaborate, and even comfort one another. One student, who is typically very reserved, now walks around capturing moments of kindness in the classroom. Another proudly showed off their \"photographer pass\" like it was their badge of honor.\r\n\r\nThese cameras have created opportunities for inclusion, independence, and joy. They've helped our students feel seen—and given them the ability to see themselves differently.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our students and investing in their creativity, their mental health, and their future.\r\n\r\n💙 You didn't just donate cameras... you gave our students a new lens on the world.","fullyFundedDate":1768844669404,"projectUrl":"project/cameras-for-creativity-supporting-autis/9731970/","projectTitle":"Cameras for Creativity: Supporting Autism, Inclusion, and Mental Health","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Delauz Lugaro AKA \"MS.D\"","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9796452_orig.jpg?crop=1852,1852,x463,y494&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777558847437","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9796452"},{"teacherId":5995104,"projectId":9103510,"letterContent":"Because of your generous donations, our library has been transformed into a space where students truly want to be.

Teachers shared that their classes were more eager to visit and participate in library activities, and our Media Creators Club quickly got to work designing themed book displays and helping decorate for each month's focus.\r\n\r\nNext, our students are planning a winter-themed reading corner and a \"Books & Belonging\" display highlighting stories that reflect their identities and cultures.
