The visible timer helps students stay aware of how much time they have to complete assignments, group activities, and assessments. This encourages better time management skills and keeps students focused on the task at hand. Instead of constantly asking how much time is left, students can independently monitor their progress and adjust their pace accordingly.\r\n\r\nThe digital clock also helps create a structured learning environment by keeping both students and teachers on schedule. Lessons can transition more smoothly between activities, reducing downtime and maximizing instructional time. Additionally, a timer can add a sense of urgency and motivation during classroom challenges, discussions, or review games, making learning more engaging. Overall, the use of a digital timer and clock promotes organization, accountability, and efficient use of class time, benefiting both student learning and classroom routines.","fullyFundedDate":1778608863583,"projectUrl":"project/seconds-that-shape-success/10206596/","projectTitle":"Seconds That Shape Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Griffith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9376182"},{"teacherId":1084091,"projectId":9510224,"letterContent":"First, let me say thank you for donating to my project. Teaching at a low-income school can be heartbreaking at times, and I swore to myself early in my career that materials would never come in the way of a student being successful. For years, I have shopped sales and dug into my own pockets to provide students with what they needed, but the need has increased every year. Your donation enables me to keep true to my word that supplies would not hinder students from accessing academic success.\r\n\r\nMy second reason for this project was to remove technology from the picture and just have students interact with words and their power in a non-digital way. Since Covid, students have hidden behind screens and frequently use technology to avoid work, but also miss the importance of the work in developing skills like reading and writing. Pencils and paper, paper texts, and learning the skills before a computer corrects, suggests, or AIs them out of their own voice in writing has been important, and I have seen great growth in my students. You made this possible.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1755357285057,"projectUrl":"project/big-kids-need-supplies-too/9510224/","projectTitle":"Big Kids Need Supplies Too!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cato","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1084091_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753941054810","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1084091"},{"teacherId":9657439,"projectId":9512848,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous support of our recent project. Because of you, my students now have access to a wonderful collection of new books that have transformed our reading time into something truly special.\r\n\r\nThese new texts have given us the opportunity to dive into skills that go far beyond simply \"decoding words.\" Together, we are learning how to make inferences, analyze characters' choices, identify themes, and compare different genres. Students are also practicing strategies like making predictions, asking questions as they read, and connecting stories to their own lives—all of which deepen their comprehension and build a love of literature.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom has become a joyful, engaging experience. Some days, we gather in small groups for book discussions where students share their thoughts and debate characters' decisions. Other days, you'll find students curled up with their books during independent reading, completely absorbed in the stories. Our classroom library has truly become the heart of our room, buzzing with excitement as students discover new favorites and swap recommendations with one another.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who had previously struggled to stay engaged during reading time, has fallen in love with one of the new graphic novels. He now looks forward to reading each day and is eager to share the storyline with his classmates. Another student, who has always been shy about speaking in class, has gained confidence by contributing thoughtful insights during our group discussions. These small but meaningful shifts are signs of how powerful these books have already been.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting difference in our classroom. Thank you for believing in the power of reading and for giving my students the tools to grow not only as readers, but as thinkers, dreamers, and lifelong learners.","fullyFundedDate":1755357285115,"projectUrl":"project/embracing-culture-through-books/9512848/","projectTitle":"Embracing Culture Through Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dempsey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9657439_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736743665353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-dempsey210"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35925","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1202,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":60,"percentAsian":25,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":2,"percentMultiracialImputed":9,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":91.2,"schoolId":35925,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Charles A Lindbergh High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Charles A Lindbergh High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/renton-school-district-403/charles-a-lindbergh-high-school/35925"}
