This book was used to discuss what it means to live in the US today from different perspectives. I used it as part of our unit about culture. The students got to pick 1 story to focus on, read, summarize and share from that writer's point of view.\r\nThe students especially enjoyed reading the sections for Liza Koshy, Jeremy Lin, America Ferreira and Lin-Manuel Miranda since they knew of them. We discussed their experiences and also the \"American Dream.\" Using real-life stories helped show how different values come together to form our world. \r\nThe best part of using this book was bringing in diverse perspectives. Many of my students are racially and ethically diverse and appreciated the inclusivity of this book. It also gave them a deeper understanding of some famous people that they did not know before. This book really enriched our classes and I cannot thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1744645956073,"projectUrl":"project/diverse-stories-for-sociology/9232420/","projectTitle":"Diverse Stories for Sociology","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4831487_orig.jpg?crop=641,641,x785,y327&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565451389248","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4831487"},{"teacherId":6530156,"projectId":9733678,"letterContent":"Thank you so much again for your generous donation to restock our student incentive store this year. With your donations, we were able to purchase snacks, water bottles, stickers, and more that will help us keep our store stocked for (we're hoping) the rest of the year.\r\n\r\nOur Devil Dollar Store is very popular among the student body. Whether they are buying Pop-Tarts or Oreos or saving up for a water bottle or apparel, our students love to bring their dollars to the store every week. This incentive motivates them to go the extra mile in their classes and around our school to show that they can \"Give effort,\" \"Respect all,\" \"Involve themselves,\" and \"Be timely.\" \r\n\r\nSome might think that a store like this doesn't work at the high school level or at a school of our size, but they would be incorrect. Even high school students like to be rewarded with a treat, and our goal is to help give that to them when they show GRIT.

With the new term my students needed fresh notebooks for their classes. With your donation I was able to supply them with pencils and notebooks for my classes, and I also allowed them to take extra ones for other classes they were in. They used them for my Economics and Sociology courses and I know they took them to use in Physics, Chemistry, Probability & Statistics, Calculus, and Literature & Composition as well. \r\nThe vinyl stickers were a big hit. When students participated in class discussions they were rewarded with the stickers. They loved all the options and this made them eager to talk. This allowed us to create a positive and interactive classroom. Students shared that there was a lot more discussion in my classroom compared to their others. Having a small incentive to break-the-ice made that possible. \r\nYour donation helped us finish the school year on a strong note and gave us what we needed to do it.

When we first saw these titles listed in our approved curriculum, we were excited to integrate two novel-length units into the class that centered on contemporary fiction reads. However, when we then found out that we could only teach such a unit using a PDF file on the students' screens as the text, we knew we wanted to do something else. \r\n\r\nYour contributions made it possible for us to bring exciting new novels into our classrooms, and for that, we truly thank you.\r\n\r\nWith much gratitude,\r\nMs. Ebener and Ms. Cox","fullyFundedDate":1732676597676,"projectUrl":"project/high-interest-contemporary-class-novels/8967536/","projectTitle":"High Interest, Contemporary Class Novels","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ebener","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6530156_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y636&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626881567421","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6530156"},{"teacherId":9119504,"projectId":8531808,"letterContent":"My apologies for being late getting this out to you! As the year has progressed my students and I have found new and exciting ways to use the resources that you helped provide.

As well as Additionally, I have continued to teach ELA classes like Young Adult Literature and Written Communication. We've used the large easel pad to gather knowledge of literary elements and include examples from Novels, texts and reading passages. \r\n\r\nI know you're aware of how vital it is to keep the classroom clean and provide hygiene resources to students. I think it has had a positive effect in terms of better attendance and reinforcing socially appropriate hygiene for those still learning.
