Your support has made a meaningful impact on both my students and our daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nWhen I introduced the new materials to the class, the students were genuinely thrilled. Many of my students don't have consistent access to school supplies at home, so being able to borrow materials for in class assignments and for other classes has been especially helpful.\r\n\r\nThe resources have also made a noticeable difference in how smoothly our lessons run. With individual headphones, students can now complete Edpuzzle assignments and other video-based tasks without distraction, allowing for better focus and individualized learning. The whiteboards have become a favorite for review games and practice activities—making learning more interactive and engaging.\r\n\r\nThese tools have truly elevated what we're able to do in the classroom, and they've brought a new level of excitement and participation to our routines. Students are more involved, more eager to contribute, and often ask to use the materials even beyond our scheduled lessons. Looking ahead to next year, I'm excited to incorporate a wider variety of learning styles and activities into our lessons. Thanks to these resources, I can plan more creative, hands-on, and differentiated instruction to better meet my students' needs.\r\n\r\nWe feel incredibly lucky to have received this support and are deeply grateful for your generosity. Thank you for investing in our students and helping create a more equitable, engaging, and inspiring learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1746785582659,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies-for-students/9255899/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Storch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9999057"},{"teacherId":9899997,"projectId":9067148,"letterContent":"Thank you all so much for supporting this project. The students were excited to begin using the 3d printer we received and quickly got to work setting it up in the classroom. They are using a basic educational CAD program to design items and love that they can see both their success and failures. It is a learning process for them as they watch their ideas come to life and occasionally watch the idea become a stringy mess of printer filament. One student in particular, who is frequently up and moving around having difficulty staying on the task, became laser focused and worked diligently designing complex objects that assembled together into an extraordinary final project. \r\n\r\nTo this point we have implemented the engineering design and printing into half of our classes, consisting of roughly 60 students. The remaining classes will begin using the printer before the end of this school year. Those classes are impatiently waiting for their time to come and several are bringing in designs to print throughout the school day. It is awesome seeing the design process in action as they brainstorm about what to build, design, improve, prototype, and redesign until they create their final project.","fullyFundedDate":1737957028659,"projectUrl":"project/3d-printed-engineering-design-problem-so/9067148/","projectTitle":"3D Printed Engineering Design Problem Solving","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Schneider","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9899997"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21833","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":863,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":57,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":54.8,"schoolId":21833,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dunkirk High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dunkirk High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/dunkirk-city-schools/dunkirk-high-school/21833"}
