Your support immediately transformed our digital storytelling. When the box arrived, the students reacted with pure, focused excitement—it was the first time many of them held a dedicated piece of high-quality recording technology that was exclusively theirs to use. Most importantly, the new SD cards immediately solved our biggest bottleneck, meaning the students now spend less time waiting and more time creating high-quality content.\r\n\r\nThe new resources are already fundamental to our current project. We are using the donated materials as the primary capture device for close-up interviews, relying on its superior quality to teach professional interview and framing techniques. The new SD cards ensure a seamless workflow, allowing quick transfer of large video files to our editing stations, enabling students to manage footage like true media professionals. We are currently moving into the post-production phase, where students will master professional editing, audio mastering, and finally, publish their completed interviews on the school's media channel for the entire community. Your donation has empowered our students to approach complex tasks with confidence and skill.

The cell phone bank allows students who are self-aware to choose to place their phones away and out of reach. \r\n\r\nReactions: some students expressed \"relief\" that they could rely on a safe space in the room to park their phones for the class period because they couldn't trust themselves. Other students are even more careful now to keep their phone in their backpack for the duration of class.\r\n\r\nClass discussions and participation have improved at the beginning of the year and I hope it continues through the year.

There is a balance of reading independently and as a group to practice pronunciation, which is helpful when learning new medical vocabulary.

Your support has provided us with a brand-new set of LEGO bricks, which we've been using to help our students develop their social-emotional skills. The LEGOs have become a cornerstone of our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum. We use them in a daily activity called \"Mindful Building\" where students work in pairs to construct a model based on a specific feeling or scenario. For example, one day we focused on patience. I asked the students to build something that required them to wait for their partner to find a specific piece. The exercise wasn't about the final creation but about the process of communication, negotiation, and cooperation. It was incredible to watch them problem-solve and work together, building not just with bricks but with patience and understanding.","fullyFundedDate":1741658430614,"projectUrl":"project/lets-go-legos/9153416/","projectTitle":"Let's Go, Legos!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4663702"},{"teacherId":9122820,"projectId":9162196,"letterContent":"This project has a significant impact on students' artistic and personal development. By providing access to fabric, macramé materials, and art books, students are able to explore a wide range of creative techniques while gaining hands-on experience in textile-based projects. These materials encourage patience, problem-solving, and careful planning as students work individually and collaboratively to design functional and decorative pieces. Exposure to diverse artistic styles and cultural traditions through art books broadens students' perspectives, inspiring them to experiment with new ideas and techniques in their own work.\r\nBeyond skill-building, the project fosters a strong sense of community within the classroom. Collaborative projects promote teamwork, peer learning, and meaningful connections among students, creating an environment where creativity is celebrated and every contribution is valued. As students share ideas, give feedback, and support one another, they develop communication skills, confidence, and resilience. Engaging with tangible artistic materials in a supportive setting makes art accessible and exciting, allowing students to experience the joy of creating while building lifelong skills and appreciation for the arts.","fullyFundedDate":1742051197364,"projectUrl":"project/create-in-community/9162196/","projectTitle":"Create in Community","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pandey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9122820_orig.jpg?crop=2157,2157,x352,y534&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690757041686","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9122820"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50838","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1073,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":45,"percentAsian":33,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":20,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.9,"schoolId":50838,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Henry J Kaiser High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Henry J Kaiser High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/hawaii/honolulu-school-district/kaiser-high-school/50838"}
