Having the proper tools has elevated both the quality of their artwork and their confidence as young artists. Instead of worrying about limited materials, students now focus on experimenting, refining their skills, and pushing their creativity further.\r\n\r\nThese supplies have also opened doors for more inclusive and engaging classroom experiences. Students who might not have previously felt comfortable with drawing or other media discovered that watercolor allowed them to express themselves in new, approachable ways. The classroom has become more collaborative, with students sharing techniques and complimenting one another's progress. \r\n\r\nOverall, the watercolor supplies donation has enriched our art program by giving students the opportunity to create with dignity and pride.

I am actively using many of the products regularly to better assist my students and reach a wider audience of learning styles. Often with students, teachers find that one learning style isn't right for all. With the addition of supplies, I can help more students make connections to the content. Additionally, I am excited to add social-emotional journals to my next section of health class. It is my hope that through journally, students will better understand their own emotions and gain social skills.","fullyFundedDate":1729379549039,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-crowleys-sel-supplies/8881651/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Crowley's SEL Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Crowley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9803588"},{"teacherId":9810859,"projectId":8893435,"letterContent":"This book is really cool because the stories, poems, screen plays, and plays are written by actual people who struggle or struggled with mental illness. The stories touch on body dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and OCD--things many teens face. What also makes these stories so great is they are written for teens. There are a few curse words, mentions of romance, and other relatable things for teens. Finally, I like how they focus on how one's mental illness does not have to limit them, but that each person can still thrive. Some of my female students who are struggling with their appearance have really appreciated knowing they are not alone. I also think the stories about anxiety have helped my juniors as they approach the SAT and just recognizing their emotions more. \r\n\r\nInstead of forcing students to read all of the chapters, I shared with them what each one was about. I wanted to make sure students were aware of the content ahead of time so no one was triggered. I also encouraged them to have discussions with peers who chose to read the same chapter. Students could compare their own lives with things that happened in the text, or completely reject things that happened. Overall, it was about exposure to stereotypes and stigmas associated with mental illness and how to start the dialogue. I think we achieved that.","fullyFundedDate":1729541183480,"projectUrl":"project/absolutely-ending-mental-health-stereo/8893435/","projectTitle":"AB(SOLUTELY) Ending Mental Health Stereotypes through Stories and Dialogue","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jorgensen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9810859"},{"teacherId":9811901,"projectId":8895471,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding some new books for our high school book club to read.

The books that were purchased for us focus on mental health, something high schoolers could always use a little help with. Especially high achieving students who tend to put a lot of pressure on themselves to succeed.

Hungry students are not always productive students. While my students of a lower socio-economic status are uppermost in my mind, it hasn't been only these students needing snacks. Life is crazy for both parents and students, and oftentimes, the students end up at school having missed breakfast. Having snacks has been an amazing gift for my students. \r\n\r\nThe students were very excited to know that there would be a snack for them if they were feeling hungry. They loved the assortment of goodies, and they loved having choices. \r\n\r\nAs an AP English teacher and an SAT Prep teacher, I am working hard to get my students ready to meet their goal scores - whatever that score may be. As a twelfth grade English teacher, I am working hard to prepare my students for the workplace or college. My tenth graders continue to amaze me with their writing skills!
