A phone free environment in schools has been both a challenge and a blessing. On the one hand, student focus is at an all time high without the pervasive distraction of the phone in their pocket. On the other hand, many activities and strategies I successfully used in the past with those same phones became unavailable to me (and them!) To be frank, I did not expect much when I posted this project, it was a long shot hope for materials to substitute their phones.\r\n\r\nThen they arrived: fresh whiteboards, erasers, markers, and organizing tools. The dramatic reveal of these materials to my students left them giddy, especially after the first kahoot of the year using them (and then sketching my cat). These materials have been integral in review activities, silent discussions, and collaborative thinking so far in the year. I hope to expand the use of these to art source analysis through re-creation, quiz races, and more. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for contributing to this project and helping bring fun back into the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758899029187,"projectUrl":"project/a-phone-free-ell-classroom/9704334/","projectTitle":"A Phone Free ELL Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Blaine","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9506395_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757521673081","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9506395"},{"teacherId":8683235,"projectId":9686547,"letterContent":"I want to take a moment to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous contribution that made it possible for my students to receive brand-new badminton equipment. Your support has truly made a difference, not only in our gym but also in the lives of students who otherwise would not have had the chance to enjoy this experience.\r\n\r\nMany of my students come from families with limited financial means. For most of them, owning their own sports equipment is not a possibility, and access to activities outside of school is also very limited. By providing us with rackets, birdies, and nets, you have opened the door to a sport that is affordable, fun, and highly inclusive. Students who may not have the resources for traditional extracurricular activities are now able to participate on equal footing with their peers.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of badminton is that it welcomes everyone. It doesn't matter if a student is athletic or just beginning their fitness journey—badminton allows them to jump right in, learn quickly, and enjoy the game. Because of your generosity, I have seen students who normally shy away from physical education light up with excitement when they step onto the court. For many, it is the first time they feel a sense of pride in their athletic abilities.\r\n\r\nBeyond the physical benefits of improving their cardio, agility, and hand-eye coordination, badminton has given my students important life lessons. They are learning teamwork when they play doubles, sportsmanship when they rotate opponents, and resilience when they try again after a missed shot. These lessons extend far beyond the walls of the gym.\r\n\r\nPerhaps the most powerful impact has been the sense of inclusion and equity your gift has created. In a school where financial barriers can often keep students from opportunities, this donation ensured that every child, regardless of background, could play and thrive. The equipment is not only improving their fitness—it is building their confidence, encouraging healthy habits, and giving them a space to laugh, compete, and bond with one another.\r\n\r\nI have also noticed that badminton has become a natural bridge between students who might not usually interact. The easy setup of the game allows for mixed groups, where friendships are forming across grades and social circles. In this way, your donation has not only built skills but has helped foster a stronger, more connected school community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students. Your generosity has given them more than just equipment—you have given them joy, health, teamwork, and a sport they can carry with them for life.","fullyFundedDate":1758898871114,"projectUrl":"project/smash-into-success-badminton-for-every/9686547/","projectTitle":"Smash Into Success: Badminton for Every Student","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Craig","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8683235_orig.png?crop=516,516,x0,y137&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673124263447","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8683235"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2171","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":368,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":92,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.6,"schoolId":2171,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about High School Dual Language & Asian Studies on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"High School Dual Language & Asian Studies","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/dual-language-asian-studies-high-school/2171"}
