Your support has made an incredible difference in the way we approach Financial Algebra.\r\n\r\nWith this resource, students can now explore real-world applications of math in meaningful and interactive ways. They are using simulations to practice budgeting, researching financial concepts such as credit and investing, and creating projects that connect classroom lessons to their future goals. The excitement on their faces when they see how math applies to their everyday lives is priceless.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom has become a place where financial literacy is not just taught, but experienced. My students feel empowered knowing that the skills they are learning today will prepare them for success beyond high school.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their future.

Your contributions have enabled me to integrate innovative activities into my classroom, and I want to share how this technology is transforming education for my students.\r\nEnhancing Learning Through Technology\r\nIn my classroom, technology serves as a bridge between knowledge and engagement. The activities that I introduced are not only making learning more interactive but also catering to diverse learning styles. For instance, students can now access educational materials that offer personalized pathways, allowing them to progress at their own pace. This flexibility has been particularly beneficial for students who may struggle with traditional teaching methods, enabling them to grasp complex concepts more effectively.\r\nExcitement and Engagement\r\nOne of the most exciting aspects of the resources is the interactive learning tools that encourage collaboration and creativity. The ability to visualize concepts in real-world examples has sparked curiosity and enthusiasm, leading to deeper discussions and explorations of the subject matter.\r\nImpact on Individual Students\r\nI've noticed that certain students have especially flourished with these new resources. For example, a student who previously found it challenging to engage in reading for comprehension is now excelling in collaborative learning activities, where they can practice skills in a fun and engaging way. This student has developed a newfound confidence, actively participating in class discussions and collaborating with peers on projects.\r\nIn summary, your generous support has made it possible for us to create a more dynamic and inclusive learning environment. The resources purchased through gift cards are not just a tool; it is a catalyst for growth and discovery among our students. Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us provide these invaluable resources.","fullyFundedDate":1738300190853,"projectUrl":"project/excited-engagement/9082179/","projectTitle":"Excited Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Valdez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4373280_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1594325663249","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-valdezbetsch"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82629","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2263,"numTeachers":97,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":73,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":68.8,"schoolId":82629,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hobbs High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hobbs High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/hobbs-municipal-school-district/hobbs-high-school/82629"}
