I have an overall drive to develop curriculum and professional development to integrate the community's culture into the classrooms and curriculum. \r\n\r\nWith this donation and the previous donation of works from Native American Authors and a shelf, I have been able to implement a Native American Literature class in our high school. We have never had this in our District, and I couldn't have done it without the generosity of you all! Not only is Native American Literature available to my students (we serve a 100% Native American population with 100% free and reduced lunch), but we are actually able to offer the class as a Dual Credit option, allowing my students to earn college credit while they are studying with me in high school.\r\n\r\nYou have all made an enormous impact in my classroom and in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1744232914580,"projectUrl":"project/self-representation-in-the-classroom/9192137/","projectTitle":"Self Representation in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Blackbird","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9787166_orig.jpg?crop=1158,1158,x0,y193&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727806968631","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9787166"},{"teacherId":2806001,"projectId":8758149,"letterContent":"Thank you for selecting my classroom project for your generous donation. Teachers have all sorts of ideas to help students to be successful and to find their direction, but we can't fund all of those ideas. Your generous donation in helping us to get equipment that the students can gain experience in making their own products as gifts or to sell at a small business has such a huge impact. Students have just begun to experiment with the rolling mill as it was difficult to purchase one. We picked and ordered three different times and finally Donors Choose made it all happen. Students have been playing with texture plates and rolling on thin copper at the time. They have discovered that the copper we ordered is too thin and we will try silverplated spoon bowls as a replacement for metal to flatten and roll. This has been an educational learning process and we are planning on having some mentoring with younger students in our after school program to create some neat projects. Students in the high school can participate in entrepreneurship class, where they learn the guidelines for operating a small business. With the internet social media present today, students can sell their items online or showcase their artwork that they design to a larger audience. There are so many possibilities to expand this avenue for students. Thank you again for choosing our project.","fullyFundedDate":1732718984734,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-rolling-rolling-that-wire/8758149/","projectTitle":"Rolling, Rolling, Rolling that Wire.","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Kneifl","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2806001_orig.png?crop=547,547,x0,y98&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1701276019932","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2806001"},{"teacherId":9787166,"projectId":8848704,"letterContent":"You have my deepest gratitude for your contribution to my classroom.

With great joy, I inform you that not only was I approved to add this class to the high school, however, with my credentials, I am also able to offer it (free of charge) as a dual credit class!
