Your support has made a tremendous impact on our students and their learning experience.\r\nThe Classroom Store is more than just a fun activity—it's a hands-on way for students to practice essential life skills such as budgeting, decision-making, and social interaction. Thanks to your contribution, we were able to stock the store with meaningful items that motivate students to set goals, earn rewards, and develop responsibility.\r\nYour generosity allows us to teach practical skills in real-world scenarios. Students practice:\r\n\r\nSorting materials to organize inventory and keep the store neat.\r\nUsing the cash register to ring up purchases and understand transactions.\r\nBagging groceries to simulate customer service and workplace readiness.\r\nMaking change to strengthen math skills and financial literacy.\r\n\r\nEvery time they shop in the store, they are building confidence and independence—skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.\r\nThank you for believing in our mission and investing in our students' future. We truly appreciate your generosity and commitment to education.\r\nWith gratitude,\r\nJennie Golio\r\nLife Skills Teacher","fullyFundedDate":1757449779676,"projectUrl":"project/life-skills-grocery-store/9691049/","projectTitle":"Life Skills Grocery Store","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10245127"},{"teacherId":9574589,"projectId":9427913,"letterContent":"The color printer is amazing! My students don't have to leave the room to print on a weekly basis. We have our first competition coming up and my students are more ready than they ever have been in the past. We are about 1-1/2 months ahead of where we were last year because students are spending more time in the room building, engineering, modifying and documenting as opposed to running to find a printer that can print in color for the competition coming up in a couple of weeks. \r\n\r\nThey are also able to analyze where their notebooks are deficient and can update in real time. They will start answering judging questions and prepare as a team to be prepared to answer judges questions as a team.

With the new resources—ribbon twirlers, resistance bands, rhythm sticks, and colorful dance skirts—my students have been able to explore movement and creativity in ways we never could before.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement. One student shouted, \"Are these really for us?!\" as they eagerly tried on the dance skirts and waved the ribbon twirlers through the air. It was a joyful and unforgettable moment that truly brought energy into our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe recently completed a dance project focused on rhythm and storytelling through movement. Using the rhythm sticks and resistance bands, students worked in small groups to choreograph their own short routines. They incorporated patterns, beats, and expressive movements, demonstrating not just creativity but collaboration and confidence. The materials made it easier for them to visualize rhythm and understand how the body moves in space.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be diving into cultural dances from around the world. The students are excited to use the ribbon twirlers and skirts to express different traditions and styles as they learn about global movement practices. These resources have turned our dance class into a place of joy, learning, and expression, and we are truly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1746463653256,"projectUrl":"project/the-dance-floor-drive/9266316/","projectTitle":"The Dance Floor Drive","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kristine Ferreira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1540416_orig.jpg?crop=1459,1459,x0,y145&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666710257024","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/k-ferreira"},{"teacherId":9839215,"projectId":8946640,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to my classroom.

That is a reoccurring concept in the book, The Alchemist. We are all connected. On behalf of the high school English Language Learners and myself, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude for your generous contribution of The Alchemist as well as necessary school supplies. The students gobbled up the snacks within the first week. The pens, pencils and water bottles continue to be used. It is wonderful to have these resources as it fosters a welcoming learning environment. \r\nBy now, we have completed Paulo Coelho's novel. This timeless story of self-discovery and the pursuit of one's dreams offers profound exploration of personal growth and the importance of listening to one's own inner voice. To read the novel, we discussed key vocabulary words and concepts and had lengthy discussions. We took a closer look at the religious allusions to the bible and the Muslim pillars. We also discussed and debated about if we control our own fate or if it already written, \"maktub\" as Coelho suggests. Additionally, we questioned the author's choices of not developing the female characters and why they do not have a personal legend. \r\nAs you can imagine, we had very lively discussions about the themes of the novel and it was a fantastic learning experience.

In the past the pieces of the robot were scattered around the room, but now pieces are easily collected and returned to be reused. One feature is the metal sweeper. The robots have many metal parts so when the parts are dropped on the floor, it is now easier to pick up the metal pieces and deposit them in an area so they can be sorted and returned to be used. The parts remaining on the floor are now plastic parts that can be swept up, sorted and then returned. Students love to use the metal sweeper with the quick release handle.\r\n\r\nOther organizers allow students to see what size axles can be used for their robot, measure for the size that they need and not have to ask me the teacher for the equipment.

Providing students with more options allows them to hopefully find something that they will enjoy. \r\n\r\nStudents are currently participating in Literature Circles. They pick a book to read in groups, so 4 students read the same book. They also get Post-its to take notes on. Then these post-its are put on their independent reading notebooks. Every Friday, they discuss the things they took notes on.\r\n\r\nThe highlighters are truly helping the students. I teach the kids to use the highlighters to focus on specific things in the text. The ENL students really find the highlighters helpful. \r\n\r\nLastly, the mini notebooks have been so helpful in the classroom. It's not easy to get kids to write these days, but having their own notebooks has helped them stay organized and feel more motivated to put their thoughts on paper.\r\n\r\nI am extremely grateful for your donation.
