One student even exclaimed, \"We're really doing this, we're learning how to save lives!\" It was a powerful and unforgettable moment. We immediately set up a hands-on CPR station, where students took turns practicing chest compressions and rescue breaths on the new manikins. The room was full of energy, focus, and determination. For many, it was the first time they truly saw themselves as future EMTs in action.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on a classroom project where students analyze emergency situations and apply both life-saving and appropriate use-of-force techniques. Thanks to your generous support, they now have the tools to practice CPR as part of these real-life scenario evaluations. This has elevated our learning experience in a big way.\r\n\r\nUp next, students will take on a CPR certification challenge. They'll demonstrate their skills in front of an instructor, get helpful feedback, and earn official certification.

These resources have already made a huge difference in the way we approach learning. The bookshelves have helped us better organize our math textbooks, manipulatives, and learning materials, which students now access with ease. Just last week, during a geometry unit, students used the new shelves to quickly grab the hands-on materials they needed to create 3D shapes for a project. The printer has also been a game-changer, allowing students to print out worksheets and projects they've worked on digitally, which has been especially helpful for them to see and assess their progress.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, they were incredibly excited and eager to use them. They were particularly thrilled with the new printer, as they could immediately see how it would help them complete assignments and print out practice problems. One student remarked, \"Now we can print our work and see it in real life!\" The bookshelves also brought a sense of order and pride to our classroom, with students immediately taking on the responsibility of organizing and keeping things in place.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the new resources will continue to enhance our lessons. We are currently working on a collaborative project where students will use the printer to print their group work and present their findings to the class. The bookshelves will also play a key role as students continue to explore new math topics and access a variety of resources to deepen their understanding. Thanks to your generosity, we now have a more organized, efficient, and exciting learning environment that supports our ongoing growth.","fullyFundedDate":1734645748680,"projectUrl":"project/hot-off-the-printer/8737761/","projectTitle":"Hot Off the Printer","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jordan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9728928"},{"teacherId":9923165,"projectId":9112735,"letterContent":"My students and I sincerely appreciate your generous donation.
