Your donations truly transformed the experience for my students and helped bring history to life in meaningful and memorable ways.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, I was able to print students' incredible social class menus in color, many of which were creatively designed using Canva. Seeing their hard work displayed so vividly gave students a tremendous sense of pride and made their projects feel authentic and professional.\r\n\r\nThe noise-cancelling headphones quickly became one of the most utilized resources in our classroom. Students frequently used them while writing their first-person passenger narratives and completing other independent activities. The headphones helped students focus, think creatively, and fully immerse themselves in the perspectives of the passengers they researched.\r\n\r\nThe decorative materials also made a significant impact on our learning environment. Students often commented on how comfortable, welcoming, and \"homey\" the classroom felt, which created an atmosphere where they were excited to learn, collaborate, and create each day.\r\n\r\nAs we close out the school year, students are now creating shoebox dioramas showcasing their favorite parts of the Titanic unit. It has been amazing to watch them apply everything they have learned through research, writing, history, art, and collaboration into these final projects.\r\n\r\nYour donations have meant so much to both me and my students. They helped turn this Titanic unit into an unforgettable experience not only for our classroom, but for our entire school community. Thank you endlessly for your kindness, generosity, and belief in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1770921126153,"projectUrl":"project/titanic-from-dream-to-disaster/10073649/","projectTitle":"Titanic: From Dream to Disaster","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kallas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10419851"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62631","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":270,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":65,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.2,"schoolId":62631,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chamiza Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chamiza Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/albuquerque-public-schools/chamiza-elementary-school/62631"}
