The educational games you helped provide, like the giant Snakes and Ladders, Tower of Hanoi, Boggle, and Scrabble, have quickly become a favorite part of our weekly classroom routine. We use these engaging tools every week to strengthen spelling, vocabulary, and problem-solving skills in a fun, hands-on way. One memorable moment was during a spelling relay using the giant Snakes and Ladders game, Students were laughing, learning, and cheering each other on as they answered vocabulary questions to move forward. It's amazing how much learning happens when students are excited and active!\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were thrilled. Their eyes lit up with excitement, and they couldn't wait to start playing and learning. These games have been especially helpful for my kinesthetic learners who benefit from movement and tactile interaction. As we move forward, students will be using these materials to prepare for our upcoming vocabulary showcase, where they will apply what they've learned by creating their own word-based games. Your generosity has brought joy and deeper learning into our classroom.

Unlike casual tech use at home, this laptop is used to enhance instruction and provide students with access to interactive learning platforms, digital research tools, and accessibility features that support diverse learners, especially English Language Learners and students with special needs. It allows students to collaborate on group projects, create multimedia presentations, and receive immediate feedback on their work, fostering both creativity and academic growth.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the opportunity to work with high-quality technology that feels both modern and empowering. The sleek design, fast performance, and vibrant display make learning feel exciting and relevant. One student, in particular, Jarik, an English Language Learner, has taken full advantage of the speech-to-text and translation tools to express her ideas more fluently in writing. Another student, Leon, who previously struggled with engagement, now eagerly participates in lessons and has even started editing class videos.

The 3D printer, sewing machine, Cricut, and materials you provided have been central to our Steady Hands / Española Gloveworks Project, where students are designing and producing gloves to help reduce tremors for individuals with Parkinson's Disease.\r\n\r\nAfter several design iterations, I'm proud to share that we have successfully completed and delivered 10 pairs of tremor-reducing gloves—to both local patients and individuals in other states. Each pair is a testament to student collaboration, resilience, and the belief that STEM can truly make a difference.\r\n\r\nOne unforgettable moment was when the materials first arrived. As students unboxed the equipment, they couldn't believe their eyes. They gathered around it in awe—it felt like magic. That initial wonder quickly turned into action. They began sketching, prototyping, and testing their ideas, all while learning hands-on about circuitry, motor control, and biomedical design. They weren't just working on a school project—they were solving a real-world challenge that deeply matters.\r\n\r\nCurrently, students are refining the glove design for greater comfort and effectiveness. They're analyzing user feedback and exploring upgrades like sensors and wireless functionality. We're also working on documentation and tutorials to help others replicate our process, with the hope of expanding the impact even further.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students now see themselves as problem-solvers, designers, and changemakers. Thank you for believing in their potential and supporting a project that's not just about learning—it's about changing lives.","fullyFundedDate":1723997702992,"projectUrl":"project/steady-hands-gloves-that-reduce-tremor/8556887/","projectTitle":"\"Steady Hands Gloves\" that Reduce Tremors of Parkinson's Disease Patients.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Janice Patal-e","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5913206_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720029798693","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5913206"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82740","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":814,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":8,"percentLatinx":86,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":51.4,"schoolId":82740,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Espanola Valley High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Espanola Valley High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/espanola-public-school-district-55/espanola-valley-high-school/82740"}
