It is because of you that I am able to maintain a fun and inclusive learning environment for my students.\r\n\r\nIn the age of AI, it is more important than ever that students are able to connect with classroom context via books and paper. I have an amazing group of students this year with strong foundational skills. The blue books, novels, and notebooks are allowing us to put our brains to paper more and more -- and the results are amazing! \r\n\r\nPlease enjoy some photos of my students working hard on their quarter 3 argumentative essay - should humans attempt to colonize outer space?

Aiken New Tech High School is truly such an incredible place for our 175+ students who are learning a new language and culture here in the United States. They work so hard, and it was lovely to be able to let them buy chips, snacks, and popcorn from the school store with their participation points. Several students that are usually too timid to try speaking in front of their peers in English were emboldened by the idea of eating free snacks, and I saw an increase in their participation in class as they were excited to earn points to buy things!\r\n\r\nFebruary was a long month of state testing for all English Language Learners. Each student had to complete four separate state tests to demonstrate their growth in reading, writing, speaking, and listening in English. In my ten or so years of administering this test to students, I have never seen so many students try their absolute best! The promise of snacks as rewards really motivated my students to show off their learning and spend time on their tests to get the best scores possible. We don't get the scores back until May, but until them I remain unbelievably proud of my students and incredibly grateful to you.","fullyFundedDate":1764862119082,"projectUrl":"project/school-store-rewards-for-our-english-lan/9941000/","projectTitle":"School Store Rewards for Our English Language Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Adamson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aiken-ell"},{"teacherId":4529026,"projectId":9545404,"letterContent":"To my friends and family who made this project possible, thank you.

They are bummed they have to wait until second semester. They are inquisitive and thoughtful and I think this novel is exactly right for them.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.

Thus, we still read many books in English class. My favorite days of school were when we were immersed in a story and having vibrant class discussions. I loved sharing my thoughts on literary analysis with my classmates. These days, the focus seems to be on short texts and online articles that do not give you the same feel as a physical book does. Students do not get as many opportunities to immerse themselves in the world of story telling in the ways we used to.\r\n\r\nThus, this has provided my students with an opportunity they do not normally have these days: to fully engage with a text. My students got to flip through these physical books and immerse themselves in the literature. This helped them craft an essay explaining how our fight for freedom changes throughout history. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for making this a reality!","fullyFundedDate":1754488136835,"projectUrl":"project/kindred-how-does-the-struggle-for-fre/9355429/","projectTitle":"\"Kindred\": How does the Struggle for Freedom Change Throughout History?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McDaniel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9154747"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_84275","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1231,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":67,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"34.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.0,"schoolId":84275,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Aiken New Technical High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Aiken New Technical High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/cincinnati-public-schools/aiken-university-high-school/84275"}
