Students have more than enough paper, pencils, and art supplies to get them through this year and even into first quarter next year. The shelving unit was easily assembled by my student aide, and it is the perfect size for storing all of our assorted assignments, fresh paper, sheet protectors, and so forth. The handheld digital translator has been helpful for ELL students to use as they practice communicating in a new language.\r\nThe ninth graders and I are so thankful for your contributions and support as we finish strong this year.","fullyFundedDate":1768675025193,"projectUrl":"project/mid-year-refresh-please/10025623/","projectTitle":"Mid-Year Refresh Please","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8130642_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y104&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634185700474","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8130642"},{"teacherId":9506219,"projectId":10020730,"letterContent":"We have been focusing on written work and putting away screens this year.

Students are using them for classwork and writing assignments. Students are also journaling for different assignments as a reflection.\r\n\r\nThe bars and other snacks went pretty quickly. They are always appreciated by the students and I know it helps to fill the gap.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible.

It allows students to access learning in ways that are more personalized and supportive, whether through testing tools, educational apps, guided practice, or accommodations that help them show what they know. The technology has helped increase engagement, independence, and confidence, particularly for students who benefit from additional supports.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting for students is having an interactive tool that makes learning feel accessible and engaging. They were eager to use the iPad right away, especially during small group instruction and learning activities where they could interact directly with lessons. For many students, using technology keeps them focused and motivated, and they take pride in using a resource that helps them succeed.\r\n\r\nSome students with specific learning needs have especially connected with this technology. Students who benefit from accommodations or individualized support have warmed to the iPad because it provides tools that help reduce frustration and build confidence during testing and classroom tasks. It has been rewarding to see students become more independent and engaged through this resource.

These basic supplies are used every day by students for note-taking, classwork, writing assignments, and collaborative activities. Having these materials readily available has allowed students to come to class prepared and focus on learning without worrying about not having the tools they need. One special moment was seeing students excited to start a writing activity with fresh supplies of their own, which helped build pride and motivation in their work.\r\n\r\nMy students were genuinely appreciative when they saw the new materials arrive. For many, something as simple as having reliable pens and paper creates confidence and removes barriers to participation. They were eager to use the supplies right away, and it was rewarding to see their excitement over resources that support their everyday success.\r\n\r\nThese donations will continue to support our classroom as students move into upcoming writing assignments, note-taking activities, and projects that require organization and creativity. As we build stronger writing and critical thinking skills, these resources will play an important role in helping students stay engaged and prepared.

It was something that many of my students might not have had the opportunity to try without your help! For the clay assignment, we created \"zoo mugs\" and I showed them the basics of slab and coil in their art. Students created the mug shape that we call \"soup can shape\", then added an animal of their choice onto the side of their mug. They were instructed to add 2+ textures onto the side. \r\nThe students were surprised at how much harder it is to work with clay than what ticktock had showed them haha.

When students first saw the props and costumes, they looked so excited. I believe that the costumes and props made them more enthusiastic to participate and do a good job. Since I did this project last year, I can make some comparisons about what a difference this donation meant. \r\n\r\n(1) Students started quicker. Sometimes it is difficult for my students to just get started on a big assignment. Many have never done a video project like this, and even more so have not made an advertisement. I noticed that my students who are incredibly shy and struggle to talk in class, wore very elaborate costumes and became amazing actors/actresses! I think the costumes and props really helped them get into character. \r\n\r\n(2) I got over 50 submissions for projects, which is a great improvement from last year! I think that the donation helped students get engaged with the project and encouraged them to get it turned in on-time. \r\n\r\n(3) The quality of the video projects were impressive. Many of my students were shocked with how many props and costumes were had. When my students saw I cared enough to ask for these supplies, and that someone nice enough like you funded it, they felt appreciated and wanted to do a good job. Most of my students received an A on this assignment, and a big part of that was because of you, dear Donor! So thank you so much. I appreciate it, and so do my 200 students. \r\n\r\nP.S: The mustaches were a HIT!

Thank you so much for your generous donation of iPads to support my project, \"Digital Inquiry: Simulations & Field Data for Biology & Anatomy Classroom.\" Your contribution plays a vital role in transforming the way students to engage and interact with science by providing access to interactive tools that bring complex biological concepts to life. With these devices, my students will be able to explore virtual simulations, collect and analyze real-time data, and deepen their understanding through hands-on digital inquiry.\r\n\r\nThis donation directly enhances student learning by making science more accessible, engaging, and relevant. Through the use of iPads, students are able to visualize processes such as cellular respiration, body organ systems, and ecological interactions in ways that traditional methods cannot fully capture. It allows them to do simulation activities, playing educational games relevant to the topic. It also empowers them to develop critical thinking and data analysis skills as they investigate real-world biological questions using modern technology.\r\n\r\nI am truly grateful for your support and commitment to advancing science education. Your generosity not only provides valuable resources but also inspires curiosity, creativity, and a passion for learning in my students.

The chair is for students who finish their work! Can't sit there if you owe me assignments, so it's a great incentive and reward. Recently, I had a student submit a writing task after working for an hour and then head straight to the chair, beaming. He looked at me and said, \"I'm finished!\"\r\n\r\nThey were excited to see something new in my already warm and friendly space. It made them feel even more welcome.\r\n\r\nIn the future, I would like to add two more chairs where small groups can rotate through and experience a different work space. \r\n\r\n(I usually sit in it during my lunch!
