The phone locker may not be loved, but it is effective and it has been useful. Having a safe space for students to put their phones when they are having a hard time keeping them in their backpacks has been very useful. I have been able to help my students adhere to the no phone law and stay focused in class without the distraction of having to send them to the office. Additionally, the chromebook chargers have proven very useful! I have not needed to offer up all 5 in one class, yet, but I have had students ask to use them. This also has helped keep students on task and in the classroom where the learning can happen.","fullyFundedDate":1773408706569,"projectUrl":"project/phone-free-schools/10022524/","projectTitle":"Phone Free Schools","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Greenfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6007773"},{"teacherId":2013192,"projectId":10199746,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my students and helping bring forensic science to life in our classroom! We have been using the new materials to create pathology-style reports based on a fictional victim. Students analyze the evidence, then draw and paint the wounds they observe, making sure to include the correct characteristics and place each injury in the appropriate location on the body.\r\n\r\nMy students really enjoy that this project combines science with art and gives them a chance to show what they know in a different way. I have loved watching them compare paintings and observe the artistic abilities of their classmates. This project has been a great way for all of my students to participate and feel successful.\r\n\r\nNext, students will use their finished pathology reports to piece together what they believe happened to their fictional victim. They will write a story explaining the crime and use the evidence from the wounds to determine the manner, cause, and mechanism of death. Thank you again for giving my students the materials to make this project possible.

The bean bag chairs have given us a comfortable space for those parts of the process. Students can grab their sketchbooks or laptops and work together in a setting that feels more like a creative studio.\r\n\r\nAs we move into larger design and branding projects, students will continue using this space for brainstorming, peer critiques, and project planning.

This particular author is very involved in writing her guides for her novels, so we're never left wondering, \"is that what the author really meant?\" There are so many activities in addition to the reading that students are easily able to understand the themes and messages of the novel. \r\n\r\nThe audio book is a huge help, especially for students who are apprehensive about their reading skills. So many teenagers don't read any more, and asking them to read in a new language is very intimidating for them.

The students loved it. We had such meaningful, rich discussions with it. The students loved the way the book was written and were really able to see just how the experiences of the Holocaust were felt by many. While about a tragic and dark time in this world, the book highlights how important it is to live a life full of gratitude and love, while never forgetting the past, but living a good life in spite of and because of it. For the students to read about Eli Wiesel's experiences first, then realize that Eddie Jaku was also in the same Concentration camps as Eli was eye opening for the students. They were able to see the connections in comparing the two memoirs.
