We've been using the watercolor paper for diverse mixed media projects around the classroom. Most recently, we completed a series of Halloween inspired skeleton paintings using oil pastel and water color. We also took advantage of the poster board to mount our work for our fall gallery show, and got great feedback from fellow teachers and students about the work on display. Next up, we will be using the remaining watercolor paper to explore painting with acrylics in the art room. Once again, thank you for helping us pursue our creative endeavors at HML.","fullyFundedDate":1755870923569,"projectUrl":"project/paper-set-go/9559484/","projectTitle":"Paper, Set, Go!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Abaya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7877355_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y252&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1665595331543","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7877355"},{"teacherId":9075559,"projectId":9259839,"letterContent":"Dear amazing supporters at Donor Choose,\r\n\r\nWe are writing to express the deepest gratitude from every student and staff member in Ms. Radice's classroom for your incredibly generous donation. The Speech amplifier, computer ink, and tablet organizer have already transformed our daily learning routines. Our students often face significant hurdles due to their cognitive disabilities, which can make traditional learning difficult and frustrating. However, the personalized tools and resources you provided are helping us change that. The Behavior Assessment tool, in particular, has been invaluable, allowing us to gain insight into each student's unique needs and create a truly customized, supportive, and engaging learning environment.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, lessons in our classroom have become more colorful and fun than we could have imagined. What was once a challenge is now an exciting journey of discovery. The tablet organizer keeps our tools ready for use, while the speech amplifier ensures every student can clearly communicate and participate. Most importantly, every single student is now able to receive their own guided lessons, tailored precisely to their pace and style of learning. Your donation hasn't just provided supplies; it has given our students the chance to experience success and joy in learning every single day. Thank you for making such a profound difference.\r\n\r\nSincerely and","fullyFundedDate":1753368633472,"projectUrl":"project/silence-the-screams-hear-what-a-child/9259839/","projectTitle":"Silence the Screams & Hear What a Child Cannot Say","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Radice","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9075559_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745168351547","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9075559"},{"teacherId":1699541,"projectId":9225923,"letterContent":"We're so excited to have brand new copies of The Crucible and A Streetcar Named Desire! Our old copies were read so many times that they were literally falling apart in our hands.\r\n\r\nWe love both of these plays. Streetcar has timeless lessons about grief and loss as well as covering more timely topics like consent and personal choices. Reading about these issues opens up pathways to discussion of topics that might otherwise be avoided in classes.\r\n\r\nThe Crucible teaches us about what happens when church and state become one, warning us of the potential pitfalls of a theocracy. This play also shows us what happened in history when we let fear, jealousy, and avarice rule society.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for providing us these valuable resources!","fullyFundedDate":1744236522497,"projectUrl":"project/classic-plays-with-modern-themes/9225923/","projectTitle":"Classic Plays with Modern Themes","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mahoney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1699541_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1538314735433","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/colleen-kiah"},{"teacherId":10045018,"projectId":9382648,"letterContent":"The Scholastic Magazines funded through this DonorsChoose project have made a meaningful difference in my classroom of high school students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities. The magazines provide age-appropriate, high-interest reading material that my students truly look forward to exploring. While they follow along with their own physical copies, I display the digital version on our Promethean board. This allows us to read together as a class, while also taking advantage of the interactive features that make the lessons more engaging.\r\n\r\nFor my nonverbal and non-reader students, the digital resources are especially powerful. The audio support, visuals, and interactive elements help them connect with the content in ways that traditional text alone cannot. The combination of print and digital formats ensures that all of my students, regardless of their reading level or communication skills, are able to participate meaningfully in the lessons. This project has not only supported literacy growth but has also increased classroom engagement, confidence, and inclusion.","fullyFundedDate":1749839803659,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-learning-to-life-for-special-ne/9382648/","projectTitle":"Bringing Learning to Life for Special Needs Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Duckardt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10045018"},{"teacherId":7877355,"projectId":9290980,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your generosity in donating art supplies to us.
