My students really love using the things that we purchased with the grant in Geography, Creative Writing, and English. \r\n\r\nI gave out packages of colored pencils to students who said that they wanted some -- without questioning why. Then, I put the rest in these 8 boxes, so that students who forgot their pencils can still do their work. We use these at least a several times each month in geography, but we have also used them in Creative Writing and English. \r\n\r\nThe sharpies have been used by all classes to make their projects more colorful. I keep those in the box by my desk, so that students can access them when needed and know where to return them. \r\n\r\nThe white board markers and erasers are probably the items in this grant that we use the most. All of my classes use them. Creative writing uses them almost daily. Even my advisory class loves using these to figure out problems and just create art if they do not have any work. \r\n\r\nThank you again.","fullyFundedDate":1786049268476,"projectUrl":"project/starting-the-year-strong-in-geography/10434912/","projectTitle":"Starting the Year Strong in Geography","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/judy-williams"},{"teacherId":121506,"projectId":10148625,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your gracious donation for our students. Having pencils, paper, and headphones available for whenever they need it makes my classroom a nicer place for every student. \r\n\r\nI have the headphones hung on the wall where anyone can grab them, I have the paper stored in drawers where students can get to it whenever they need some, and I have the pencils where they can grab one whenever they do not have one. Many of our students come from low income homes and cannot afford these items, others just forgot their stuff at home. Having these things available for all students, takes out the sting from which ever situation the student is in. They do not have to ask. They just go and get the pencils, which they keep, and paper, which they use in class. They all know that if they need any of these things for other classes, they do not need to ask. The only thing that I ask that they return is the headphones.","fullyFundedDate":1773677043398,"projectUrl":"project/pencils-paper-headphones-and-more/10148625/","projectTitle":"Pencils, Paper, Headphones, and More","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/judy-williams"},{"teacherId":121506,"projectId":10131484,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation. My class was excited to get to use the document camera. It is portable, so I can take it to any desk, plug in the USB and have that student show their work. Because they are Jr High kids, they like that better than them going to the front. This helps me to help them become better writers, poets, and geographers. \r\n\r\nWe also use the teacher tape frequently. I have included 3 pictures of student work that would would hang up with teacher tape. The one on the white board are hung with teacher tape. When I bring the others in from the bulletin board, they will hang in the classroom with teacher tape (the tape does not stick to the bulletin board.) Almost everything in my room is hung with teacher tape, so having a big box makes it so that I do not have to think about how I am going to hang something up. \r\n\r\nAll of my students want to yell, \"Thank you very much.\"","fullyFundedDate":1773176213367,"projectUrl":"project/projecting-and-sharing/10131484/","projectTitle":"Projecting and Sharing","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/judy-williams"},{"teacherId":121506,"projectId":10434797,"letterContent":"Your generous donation has helped \"make\" our classrooms everyday. As one of the classrooms included, I can state that I use most of the items multiple times a week.

One of the 9th grade classes' favorite activities that we were able to do because of your donation of sidewalk chalk included having the 9th grade geography students going out and drawing the landforms that we are studying. That kind of fun hands on learning helps students to remember what we taught them.","fullyFundedDate":1786049434950,"projectUrl":"project/helping-students-in-5-classrooms/10434797/","projectTitle":"Helping Students in 5 Classrooms","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/judy-williams"},{"teacherId":121506,"projectId":9768828,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all that you do to help our classrooms. My other geography teacher and I did not have the ability to use pull down maps in our new school, so we had to get creative. The large map tapestry was light enough to hang with teacher tape, and big enough to let the students see where places were in the world. Our classes had worked on an essay comparing the older map projection -- like the one in the tapestry map -- to the whole earth one, which does a better job showing the sizes of the various continents. Because of this we also ordered the \"whole world\" projection map. Because the whole world map was too small to see across the classroom, we ordered the tapestry one as well. Now students can see the real differences in the projections, and we can have a map that is visible to them around the classroom. We ordered the globe because the one that I inherited from another geography teacher over 24 years ago had its base broken in such a way that it was not replaceable. However, we were able to give the globe without the base to the math teachers to use for figuring out the circumference of the world. Thus the impact of your gift has helped several different classrooms this year, and it will continue to help them over many years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1762224954208,"projectUrl":"project/maps-to-understand-our-world/9768828/","projectTitle":"Maps to Understand Our World","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/judy-williams"},{"teacherId":121506,"projectId":9608126,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing the ink, papers, and pens for my classroom.

They were so excited to open the packages, and since we were on a project that required colors, they were able to use the immediately. The ones who wanted to do their paper by hand could get in and get it done with all of the colors needed. The ones who wanted to do it by computer were able to create theirs with all of the colors of the program, and I was able to print it to hang with the other projects as soon as they had it ready to print.

I then take the single pages and make copies. However, the printer is there if I miscounted or if people lost their papers, I could print things right there in class. The surge protectors were used every day for students who forgot to charge their computers or whose computers were used a lot that day. It was great not to have to stop to figure out where they could charge. They just went and got the charger, plugged it in, and the cord stretched close enough to their desks to charge. The headphones are the same way. They are available whenever students need them.","fullyFundedDate":1755708936927,"projectUrl":"project/helping-students-to-be-successful-everyd/9561734/","projectTitle":"Helping Students to be Successful Everyday","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/judy-williams"},{"teacherId":121506,"projectId":9595228,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping to make my classroom more accessible. My students are using the pencils every day. They really love that they can just get a pencil whenever they need it. I even have some of them come in during the day that I do not have them because they need a pencil and know that I will let them have one without any question. They do not have to ask or feel ashamed about not having their supplies. \r\nThe magnetic folder bins have been wonderful for me to put assignment to pass back in. Students can search for no name papers in it without even asking me. Also seeing the papers in the bins reminds me to pass them back. Havening them be magnetic allows me to move them close to my desk as I grade, in the back of the room where they normally say, and to the front of the room to remind me to pass things back. \r\nThe students love using the pens to correct their work -- it easily shows me what they fixed without having to search. It also helps them to remember things that they miss frequently - like capitalizing and punctuation. The geography students love using the pens to create colorful maps. \r\nThank you so much for all that you do.","fullyFundedDate":1755880677126,"projectUrl":"project/making-my-classroom-more-accessible/9595228/","projectTitle":"Making My Classroom More Accessible","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/judy-williams"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33030","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":979,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"7 - 9","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.9,"schoolId":33030,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sunset Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sunset Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/davis-school-district/sunset-junior-high-school/33030"}
