The corner became a refuge for students to take short breaks, practice mindfulness, and regain focus during stressful moments.\r\n\r\nThis project helped reduce classroom tension and improve overall behavior, as students learned healthy coping strategies instead of reacting out of frustration or anxiety. I noticed that students returned from the Calming Corner more composed and ready to participate productively.\r\n\r\nBeyond individual benefits, the project fostered a more compassionate and understanding classroom culture. It opened up important conversations about mental health and encouraged empathy among peers. The calming visuals, sensory tools, and reflective prompts helped normalize emotional regulation as a part of learning, making the classroom feel more inclusive and supportive for everyone.\r\n\r\nOverall, this initiative transformed the learning environment into one that prioritizes not just academic success, but also emotional growth, self-awareness, and resilience — empowering students to manage stress and thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

It's become one of the most valuable tools in my classroom. Instead of just reading about events or looking at pictures in a textbook, my students now get to hold and study physical objects that represent the past. That hands-on experience has made a huge impact.\r\n\r\nOne of the first things we used the printer for was our battlefield diorama project. Students were able to print out artifacts like helmets, weapons, tanks, and gear from different time periods and use them in their projects. It added a whole new level of depth and realism, and it helped them better understand how warfare and technology evolved over time. They could actually see the difference between a WWI trench system and modern equipment, and it made the historical changes a lot more clear.\r\n\r\nWe also used the printer during our unit on the Space Race. We printed a model of the Saturn V rocket, showing each stage and how it separated during launch. That helped students wrap their heads around how complex those missions really were. Alongside that, we printed spacecraft from other countries and different points in history, which let students compare how space technology has changed. Seeing the Soviet designs next to the American ones really brought the Cold War competition to life in a way they hadn't experienced before.\r\n\r\nWhat I really appreciate about this printer is that it's helped students who don't always connect with traditional teaching methods get more involved. Some of them just learn better when they can touch and interact with things, and this has given them a way to really participate. It's been awesome to see students light up when we bring out new prints and talk about what they represent. They ask more questions, they're more engaged, and they're thinking deeper.\r\n\r\nIt's also helped us start building a classroom collection of printed historical models. We've got everything from battlefield gear to spacecraft now, and we're continuing to add to it as we move through the curriculum. The students love it, and it gives us something we can use for years to come. They've even started suggesting new things to print as we move into new topics.\r\n\r\nThis printer isn't just a piece of equipment, it has become a central part of how we bring history to life in our classroom. Your donation made that possible, and we're all incredibly grateful. You've helped create learning moments my students will never forget.","fullyFundedDate":1741202219593,"projectUrl":"project/historians-need-artifacts-to-effectively/9084952/","projectTitle":"Historians Need Artifacts to Effectively Study the Past!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Roberts","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9910634"},{"teacherId":1628935,"projectId":9146704,"letterContent":"Okay, so, the Galaxy Tab S10+ is actually super handy for biology and Human Anatomy.

Integrating EKG training into their educational programs provides a crucial foundation for their future roles in healthcare. For CCMAs, proficiency in EKG procedures enhances their ability to assist physicians in diagnostic processes. This skill allows them to efficiently prepare patients, operate EKG equipment, and accurately record data, thereby streamlining clinical workflows.\r\n\r\n Furthermore, understanding basic EKG interpretations enables CCMAs to recognize potential abnormalities and effectively communicate findings to healthcare providers. For CNA students, EKG knowledge contributes to improved patient monitoring and care. While CNAs may not perform in-depth EKG analysis, the ability to recognize critical changes in a patient's heart rhythm is essential for timely intervention. This knowledge empowers CNAs to promptly alert nurses or physicians to potential cardiac emergencies, ensuring patient safety. In essence, EKG training cultivates a deeper understanding of cardiovascular health, enabling both CCMA and CNA students to provide more comprehensive and effective patient care. This practical skill set not only increases their employability but also strengthens their capacity to contribute meaningfully to the healthcare team.","fullyFundedDate":1731507477187,"projectUrl":"project/pulse-on-paper-enhancing-cardiac-diagno/8848458/","projectTitle":"Pulse on Paper!

This hands-on activity allows students to explore potential careers in education while creating visually engaging cereal boxes that reflect their findings. The supplies, such as colored pencils and markers, add vibrancy and make the projects more engaging, while cardstock ensures the boxes are durable and professional-looking. Exacto knives, paired with safe handling instructions, help students mold cardboard pieces with precision, and sharpies allow for detailed lines that make their designs pop.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the materials play a crucial role in the Gifted and Talented Night of Notables Presentation. Students use tri-fold boards to showcase their research on notable figures, incorporating markers, colored pencils, and scrapbook paper to create eye-catching and informative displays. The added variety of textures and colors enhances the depth and creativity of their work, making their presentations memorable and impactful.\r\n\r\nLastly, our Freshmen Blackout Poetry Projects are taking on a new level of artistry thanks to these supplies. Students create poems by blacking out text from book pages, and the addition of vibrant markers and Sharpies allows them to incorporate artistic designs and patterns that complement the themes of their poetry. The tools provided help them craft meaningful and visually stunning pieces that they take pride in sharing.\r\n\r\nThese materials have transformed our classroom projects, enabling students to produce vibrant, engaging, and high-quality work.
