The impact of your donation has made things in my class much easier. We don't have to wait for some assignments to be printed out, especially when things change quickly. Students get see some of their work in color, which holds the attention slightly better. When they come up with their own ideas for things they want to do and see, whether is class assignments or leisure time, putting colors to it is a great option.

Students have been so into technology that the basics are lost. What I mean by basics is that they don't know how to function without electronics. Everything has to be plugged in and charged up. If there is a power outage they will be lost. \r\nNow with this project if students want to relax they can simply play a board game, or rest on a soft, comfortable chair. There are several other ways for students to decompress thanks to the donation from Donors Choose. I can see that learning new things that are old to some of us has given them new perspectives.

Share a specific classroom project or moment.**\r\n\r\nMy students are using the new resources not only in the classroom but also as part of activities that encourage volunteerism, teamwork, and community involvement. We are focusing on the importance of giving back and using our skills to help others. Students have opportunities to work together on projects and activities that connect what they learn in class to real needs in our school and community. Seeing students take ownership and volunteer their time to help others has been one of the most rewarding parts of these experiences.\r\n\r\n**How did your students react when they first saw the materials?**\r\n\r\nMy students were excited to see the new materials because they knew they would have an opportunity to use them in meaningful, hands-on activities. Many students immediately began thinking about ways they could use their skills to help others. It was great to see students realize that what they learn in school can be used outside the classroom to make a positive difference in their school and community.\r\n\r\n**What are the next steps for your students on a current classroom lesson or project?**\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue providing students with opportunities to volunteer, serve others, and become more involved in their community. Students will continue working together on projects while developing important skills such as leadership, communication, responsibility, teamwork, and problem-solving. I want my students to understand that being successful is not just about what you accomplish for yourself, but also about how you use your time, talents, and skills to make a difference for others.","fullyFundedDate":1771865413771,"projectUrl":"project/community-donation-and-learning-project/9863690/","projectTitle":"Community Donation and Learning Project with College and Career implications","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Skowron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10335303_orig.jpg?crop=1500,1500,x0,y300&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1772197636559","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10335303"},{"teacherId":7570398,"projectId":9715433,"letterContent":"Thanks so much for your support!
