One of the most difficult units in AP Human Geography is Cities and Urban Land-use and the Legos allowed students to build their own urban models, compare their to existing urban models, and learn about the difficulties creating a sustainable city. For my AP World History class, the students were able to learn about the indirect fighting that transpired during the Cold War between the United States and Russia. By playing chess and labeling the pieces as various Cold War elements, students were able to place themselves in history. My students were surprised that we were able to take such complex topics and make them simpler through hands-on learning.

After receiving the items, I fully stocked our snack and food cabinet and still had extras to restock when the time comes. The students walked in and worked on their assignments, once they were completed, we told them they earned a snack, when they opened the cabinet and saw all the new snacks and that the cabinet was full they were so excited. Some students had not completed the assignment and once they heard the other students being so excited, they too completed their assignment and received a snack.\r\nWith consistent support from educators, families, and the broader community, we can create a classroom environment where every student is physically nourished, mentally prepared, emotionally supported, and fully equipped to learn, engage, and thrive each day.\r\nThank you for helping us get this project funded.

My students are using the cooking tools, mixing bowls, knives, and serving supplies during our life skills lessons to practice real-world skills such as food preparation, kitchen safety, hygiene, and teamwork. One of our favorite moments was using the junior chef knife sets to safely prepare fruit and simple snacks. Students were incredibly focused and proud as they practiced cutting with proper technique and independence. These are skills that directly support their transition goals and future independence.\r\n\r\nThe math manipulatives, STEM building sets, tangrams, and LEGO bricks have brought new energy to our math block. Instead of only working on paper, students are building shapes, solving pattern challenges, creating structures, and strengthening problem-solving skills through hands-on exploration. When they first saw the materials, there were big smiles, curiosity, and immediate engagement. The nonfiction books have supported our reading comprehension lessons, helping students practice vocabulary and learn about science topics in an accessible way.\r\n\r\nThe hygiene items, tissues, cleaning supplies, and laminating materials are helping us maintain a safe, organized, and healthy learning environment. Students are also practicing personal care routines using the travel-size toothpaste as part of independent living skills instruction. Next, we will continue expanding our cooking unit by planning simple recipes, budgeting ingredients, and creating visual recipe cards. We will also build on our math lessons by designing STEM challenges that connect to real-life problem solving. Your support has not only provided materials — it has created meaningful opportunities for growth, independence, and confidence in our classroom. Thank you for believing in my students and investing in their future.","fullyFundedDate":1768185610115,"projectUrl":"project/learning-by-doing-tools-for-student-suc/9999217/","projectTitle":"Learning by Doing: Tools for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Soler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8175519"},{"teacherId":9521764,"projectId":10037569,"letterContent":"Funding this project to provide food in my classroom had a profound impact on both my students and on me as their teacher. For many of my students, having reliable access to snacks or small meals removed a major barrier to learning. Hunger often shows up as distraction, irritability, or disengagement, and once students knew they could count on having something to eat, I saw noticeable changes in their focus, energy, and confidence. They were more willing to participate, more patient with themselves and others, and more capable of sustaining attention during lessons. The classroom atmosphere shifted from one of quiet frustration to one where students felt cared for and ready to learn.\r\n\r\n\r\nOn a personal level, this project transformed the way I approached daily teaching. Having the resources to meet such a basic need allowed me to build deeper relationships with students, because they understood—through action—that I saw them as whole people, not just learners. It reduced my stress as well; instead of trying to stretch limited personal resources to help students who were struggling, I was finally equipped to support them consistently. Knowing that I could offer stability, comfort, and dignity through something as simple as food made me feel more effective and aligned with why I entered education in the first place.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn many ways, the project became a foundation for a more equitable, nurturing classroom. It reminded me that when students' basic needs are met, they thrive—not just academically, but emotionally and socially. And as their teacher, witnessing that growth reaffirmed the importance of advocating for resources that allow every student to feel safe, supported, and capable.","fullyFundedDate":1768752562160,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies/10037569/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bonetti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9521764"},{"teacherId":10398778,"projectId":9990718,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our new giant whiteboards and sports resources have become an exciting part of our classroom routine. We use the whiteboards daily during math lessons, where students solve problems, explain their thinking, and learn from one another. Watching students collaborate, correct mistakes, and celebrate their successes has been incredibly rewarding. When the materials first arrived, students were instantly excited—especially by the giant whiteboards and the basketball foot board—and couldn't wait to start using them.\r\nBecause of your support, students are now able to connect learning with movement and teamwork. Along with strengthening math skills on the whiteboards, students are building coordination, confidence, and cooperation through sports games and basketball drills using the foot board. These resources have helped create a more engaging and motivating learning environment, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our classroom journey.","fullyFundedDate":1768076286080,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-minds-and-movement/9990718/","projectTitle":"Fueling Minds and Movement","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Pacheco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10398778_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768429563273","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10398778"},{"teacherId":8142430,"projectId":9704226,"letterContent":"Currently, my students wear their professional scrubs with pride. Before we returned from winter break, I received several emails asking what day they were supposed to wear their scrubs. Many played it off by saying they just didn't want to lose points or be the only one not wearing theirs, but when I saw them on campus among their peers, they were smiling.\r\n\r\nI emphasized that the scrubs they are wearing might be the first of many in their lifetime. Many of these students are pursuing long and exciting careers in the healthcare field, and these scrubs are a preview of what's to come. When the day arrived to hand them out, many students were excited and immediately asked to go to the bathroom to try them on. I know many were checking the size, but how many students rush off right away just to check the size of a uniform?\r\n\r\nI would like to continue this DonorsChoose project as an annual event as new students enter Hug High School's Sports Medicine CTE program.
