I am able to assign specific video tutorials to students who need a concept explained visually. The ENL teachers have also found it incredibly helpful when working with scholars during the day and after school.\r\n\r\nMath can be intimidating, but the feedback I've received is that the step-by-step videos make the content \"easy to follow\" regardless of language barriers. They were excited to realize that if they get a problem wrong, they get immediate feedback on why, rather than having to wait for me to grade a paper.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools they need to meet their graduation requirements and succeed.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1742919943042,"projectUrl":"project/recovering-with-delta/9177365/","projectTitle":"Recovering With Delta","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ellis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7775687_orig.jpg?crop=588,588,x465,y491&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1614375382673","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jhellis"},{"teacherId":2513474,"projectId":9577247,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping us transform the first impression our school makes on students, families, and visitors.

The Kodak Printomatic Cameras were a huge hit. Students loved snapping pictures with friends, capturing school events, and adding instant prints to their Senior Time Capsules. It was so much fun watching them get creative with their photos, decorating their boxes, and reminiscing about their time together. Instead of just scrolling through digital memories, they now have something real and tangible to look back on for years to come.\r\n\r\nOne of the best parts of this project was seeing how excited the students were to use the cameras. Some carried them around daily, making sure to document even the little moments, while others saved them for big milestones.
