Sharon Draper's Copper Sun is always one of the most popular, gripping of novels we read through the year. Your donation helps students take books home to read, as they always ask for more time with this book. That is a win!\r\n\r\nThe books we do have are only enough to read class by class in the school. We can't send any extras home or allow students to check out extras...because there have not been any. Especially since, in the past, the extras we did have, were so heavily read and used, they have fallen apart on us.","fullyFundedDate":1747180748783,"projectUrl":"project/help-provide-a-historical-novel-class-se/9303402/","projectTitle":"Help Provide A Historical Novel Class Set","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gentile","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10010058"},{"teacherId":1634747,"projectId":9173536,"letterContent":"Thank you for contributing to our Technology materials project. Since fundraising for this DonorsChoose project, my students have used headphones to listen to the electronic music they've produced; they've benefited from 3D printer filament; and they've actually played the games they've designed on real handheld devices.\r\n\r\nWhen students have access to quality materials, it encourages them to work their hardest. Knowing that we can actually print out their 3D models helps students to envision the things they want to create, and it feels amazing when they get to take home their completed products. Similarly, being able to transfer and actually play the video games they have coded is inspiring and community-building.\r\n\r\nOur classrooms are bolstered by support like yours, and without your contributions, we may not be able to provide the same level of STEM curriculum.

It has been used by students for both creative outlets in terms of digital art/painting but also has been used to enhance their ability to engage with graphic design and animation.\r\n\r\nFor many students who have a hard time finding success in our academics it has been a great entry point to find success that we can build on. Especially with our students who were interested in technology but intimidated by it. They got to use professional level tools and programs and realized they could do it too.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for providing these experience for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1744744376843,"projectUrl":"project/digital-art-tools-for-graphic-and-web/9108829/","projectTitle":"Digital Art: Tools for Graphic and Web Design","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.

I am focusing on plot and character development using these texts. Students use a packet to track their reading and responses which follows them throughout the book. I teach a wide variety of reading levels in one class, so this project has allowed students to read at their level while focusing on a single skill. \r\n\r\nFor example, I have some kids who chose the book Uprooted. These kids are in reading support and have done very little work in my class all year. Suddenly, when they have a book that they are excited about and which is at their level, they do the work. When they are more engaged in class, their confidence goes up as well. It's very cool to see. At this time of the year, it's difficult to get students excited about anything. Thanks to your generosity, my students are reading and building their reading comprehension skills.","fullyFundedDate":1744234869372,"projectUrl":"project/fill-my-shelves-with-high-interest-books/9230829/","projectTitle":"Fill My Shelves with High Interest Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lepp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5994306_orig.jpg?crop=638,638,x732,y53&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744042147357","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nativelit"},{"teacherId":1634747,"projectId":8927858,"letterContent":"Thank you for contributing to our project Students have already begun to explore the various tools we received for growing food indoors. pH meters, grow lights, mushroom-growing kits...everything is so interesting.\r\n\r\nWith the help of your donation, my students will start plants from seeds, care for them daily and enjoy the food they grow. We are in a unique classroom with no natural light nor water. This will make our food-growing experience challenging and will require students to come up with creative methods.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment materials arrived, my students have been excited to construct our growing racks and arrange our grow lights.

I used the box sets of books for book clubs, in which students had enriching conversations about character motive, plot, and writing craft. These conversations led students to write analysis paragraphs and inspired their own fictional narratives. It's truly a gift to have high interest, relevant books in my classroom library, such as Heartstopper, The Summer I Turned Pretty and One of Us is Lying. \r\n\r\nStudents immediately remarked on the difference that the window clings made in creating a safe and welcoming classroom environment. My class faces the street, and while the large windows create a lot of light, they also make students feel unsafe. The window clings let in light while also protecting their privacy. They also love how the string lights and the wallpaper improve the vibe of the classroom. \r\n\r\nThanks again for everything you did for my middle school ELA class.","fullyFundedDate":1732597826668,"projectUrl":"project/books-and-classroom-beautification/8949772/","projectTitle":"Books and Classroom Beautification","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lepp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5994306_orig.jpg?crop=638,638,x732,y53&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744042147357","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nativelit"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88243","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":561,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.4,"schoolId":88243,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roseway Heights Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roseway Heights Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/portland-public-schools/roseway-heights-school/88243"}
