The students were so excited when they saw everything. Having fresh supplies like expo markers, markers, highlighters, and other materials has made a big difference in our classroom. The students are using them everyday for note taking and small group activates. It's been wonderful to see their excitement about learning with the new materials. \r\nThe snacks have also been incredibly helpful. Many students really look forward to getting a treat or snack when answering questions or doing good on a test. This helps keeping them focused and on track. \r\nYour generosity truly means a lot to our classroom. The students feel supported and cared for, and it creates a more positive learning environment for everyone.

Your support has made a meaningful difference in our learning environment by providing students with grade appropriate books and supplies that are helping to create curiosity, creativity, and academic growth. Access to new multicultural books and supplies helps create a more engaging classroom where students can feel belonging! When the students realized that we have added to our library, they were excited and eager to read! Students have access to the books throughout the day but specifically on Wednesdays and Friday's, we all sit and do SSR! My hopes is that by the end of the school year, my students will gain/regain a love for reading!

The iPad allows me to check attendance quickly and accurately, which helps us begin learning right away without losing valuable instructional time. Instead of handling paperwork or waiting to access shared devices, I can immediately focus on teaching and supporting students. The ability to monitor student progress in real time through GoGuardian also helps me quickly identify who needs extra support and who is ready for enrichment.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has also streamlined our classroom systems. I can issue Minga passes quickly and manage classroom procedures smoothly, reducing disruptions and keeping transitions organized. What may seem like a small tool has had a big impact on maximizing learning time. Students notice that we start faster, move efficiently between tasks, and stay focused longer. Your support has helped create a more structured, responsive, and productive classroom environment where every minute truly counts. Thank you for investing in systems that strengthen both instruction and student accountability.","fullyFundedDate":1768400989232,"projectUrl":"project/maximizing-instructional-time-through-mo/9987060/","projectTitle":"Maximizing Instructional Time Through Mobile Classroom Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Castillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8130213"},{"teacherId":8131249,"projectId":10003560,"letterContent":"On behalf of the students in the Mack Middle School AVID program, I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of art materials. AVID is centered on preparing students for college and career success by fostering critical thinking and collaboration, and having high-quality supplies is essential for bringing those academic goals to life. For many of our scholars, these materials represent more than just tools; they are a sign that their community is invested in their potential. Your kindness has removed a significant financial barrier for our classroom, allowing every student to engage fully in our curriculum with the professional grade resources they deserve. \r\n\r\nWe have already put your gift to great use through two major research projects where students synthesized complex data into individual presentations, using the vibrant markers and poster board you provided. The kids created detailed infographics and shared their findings through a gallery walk with their peers. This hands-on approach transformed a standard research assignment into an interactive experience that built their confidence in public speaking and visual communication. Seeing the pride on their faces as they displayed their hard work was truly moving and it wouldn't have been possible without your support. Thank you for empowering the next generation of leaders at Mack Middle School.","fullyFundedDate":1768182079440,"projectUrl":"project/restocking-classroom-supplies/10003560/","projectTitle":"Restocking classroom supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sanders","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8131249"},{"teacherId":8137007,"projectId":10031230,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for helping us cross the finish line on this project.\r\n\r\nWhile technology at home is often a solo activity, in our school, it is a tool for connection. The new webcam and iPad accessories allow me to bring the outside world into our classroom and create high-quality digital lessons that students can access anytime. But equally important were the basic supplies—the pencils and markers—that ensure no student ever feels unprepared.\r\n\r\nMy students were most excited about the new \"smoothness\" of our lessons. There is no longer a pause while I run back to my desk to click \"next slide\" or search for a working marker. The flow of instruction is seamless now.\r\n\r\nOne specific group of students who have warmed to this upgrade are my visual learners. With the new webcam and the ability to control the board from my iPad, I can instantly project student work or digital manipulatives on the screen. Seeing their own work highlighted so easily has boosted their confidence immensely.

The \"A Little SPOT\" book and plush toy sets have become a cornerstone of our daily social-emotional learning routine, providing students with tangible, engaging tools to identify, understand, and manage their emotions.\r\n\r\nThe resources funded by this project—including the SEL book bundles, emotion plush toys, and activity books—have significantly enhanced students' ability to express themselves constructively. Many of my students struggle with emotional regulation due to profound intellectual disabilities and trauma backgrounds, and these tools have made abstract emotional concepts accessible and relatable. The visual, tactile, and repetitive nature of the materials has proven especially effective in supporting comprehension and emotional vocabulary development.\r\n\r\nSince implementing the curriculum, I've seen a notable reduction in behavioral incidents, increased peer interaction, and improved classroom focus. Students now use phrases like \"I feel frustrated\" or \"I need a calm spot\" instead of acting out. These improvements not only support their academic engagement but also foster a sense of safety and belonging.\r\n\r\nYour donation did more than just fund materials—it empowered my students with lifelong skills in self-awareness, emotional regulation, and empathy. The positive ripple effects of this project extend beyond the classroom, influencing students' home lives and future opportunities.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students and in the power of emotional learning.","fullyFundedDate":1701108357553,"projectUrl":"project/social-and-emotional-regulation-skills/7983224/","projectTitle":"Social and Emotional Regulation Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Platt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2882086_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1471663008297","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/robbplatt"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_30844","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":947,"numTeachers":53,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":71,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":40.4,"schoolId":30844,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jerome D Mack Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jerome D Mack Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/jerome-d-mack-middle-school/30844"}
