Our new class set of calculators is already making a meaningful impact in our math classroom. In my classroom, calculators play a special role—they help students focus on understanding concepts rather than getting stuck on basic computation. Having a full class set ensures that every student has access to the same tools, creating an even playing field for those who may struggle with mental math or need extra support. This allows them to spend more time engaging deeply with math concepts, problem-solving, and building confidence.\r\n\r\nThe excitement these calculators have brought to the classroom has been wonderful. Students appreciate having reliable devices that they can use every day, and they feel more supported as they work through challenging problems. The calculators allow them to check their reasoning, explore new skills like square roots, and take on more complex tasks without feeling discouraged.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who used to hesitate during multi-step problems have especially been grateful for the calculators. One student who often felt anxious about making simple mistakes now participates more confidently, saying that the calculator helps them \"finally focus on the math part.\" Tools like these don't replace learning—they empower students to access it fully. Thank you for investing in their success and helping every learner feel capable and supported.","fullyFundedDate":1756098928441,"projectUrl":"project/calculating-success-help-my-students-ex/9549743/","projectTitle":"Calculating Success: Help My Students Excel in Math!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Diaz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9823200"},{"teacherId":9772747,"projectId":9541343,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the supplies. The students use the highlighters and pens for their notes. It allows them to see the transition of the problems as they are working through the problems. I use different colors, so it is clearer for the students to see different problems, and they do not run all together. All the paper to do their work with extra space is helping the students.\r\n The speaker works great in the classroom. I play music as they are working on the assignment. They do not have their cell phones in class, so it breaks the silence. I try to make math more enjoyable for the students to work and bring down the anxiety of being in math. They like that I play different genres of music.\r\n\r\nThanks again,\r\nMr. Wolski","fullyFundedDate":1755521984347,"projectUrl":"project/start-the-year-off-strong/9541343/","projectTitle":"Start the Year Off Strong","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wolski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9772747"},{"teacherId":9774592,"projectId":9391432,"letterContent":"Your contributions have directly impacted my students.

The materials you've helped fund allow us to engage in real-world, hands-on learning around topics like budgeting, credit, saving, investing, and entrepreneurship. \r\n\r\nFor many of my students, this is the first time they are learning how money works in a practical, empowering way. Some come from households where financial literacy is limited, and your support gives them tools that can change the trajectory of their lives.

I tried my best to choose books for young adult readers, especially male and more of my students are reading rather than just glancing at books.

Whereas mental math is extremely important, in the higher levels there are calculations that cannot be done without a calculator.\r\n\r\nI find that my students are most excited about are the algebra tiles. This gives them the opportunity to take an abstract concept and make it concrete. Having a visual representation for factoring and relating it to the dimensions of a rectangle are giving students a better understanding of the topic.\r\n\r\nI have been pleasantly surprised to see how much my students enjoy listening to music as they work.

Since its arrival, it has become an essential part of our daily routine, providing a calming and supportive resource for our students. Many of our students experience sensory processing challenges, and the massage chair has been a game-changer in helping them regulate their emotions. Whenever a student feels overwhelmed or frustrated, a few minutes in the chair helps them reset, making it easier for them to focus and engage in their learning activities. We have also incorporated the chair as a reward system, encouraging students to stay on task and complete their assignments with the incentive of relaxation time.\r\n\r\nThe excitement on our students' faces when they first saw the massage chair was priceless! They were eager to try it out, and once they did, they quickly realized how much it helped them feel more at ease. Some students, who previously struggled with transitions or long periods of focus, have shown noticeable improvements in their ability to manage stress and stay engaged in classroom activities. The joy and comfort the chair has provided have exceeded our expectations, and it has truly made a difference in their daily school experience.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are excited to see how the massage chair continues to support our students' growth. Our district has taken notice of its positive impact and is interested in collecting data to determine whether similar chairs should be placed in other schools as a therapeutic resource. This could mean that many more students across the district will benefit from the same comfort and sensory support that our classroom has experienced. Thanks to your kindness, our students are happier, more focused, and better equipped to handle their day. We cannot thank you enough for making such a meaningful difference in their lives!","fullyFundedDate":1733261298599,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health-deep-pressure-therapy/8896819/","projectTitle":"Mental Health - Deep Pressure Therapy","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Plakakis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7101195"},{"teacherId":9795756,"projectId":8862180,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of classroom supplies! Because of your kindness, I've been able to stock pencil boxes at every student's desk, making sure that everyone has the tools they need to succeed. For students who aren't able to bring their own supplies, this makes a world of difference. Instead of worrying about not having a highlighter or an eraser, they can just focus on learning—and that's exactly how it should be.\r\n\r\nYour donation has truly helped create a welcoming and inclusive space in my classroom. When students know they have everything they need right in front of them, they feel more confident and ready to participate. It's been amazing to see them dive into their work without hesitation, knowing they belong here. Something as simple as having a ruler when they need it can make such a big impact, and I'm so grateful for your role in making that happen.\r\n\r\nFrom me and all of my students, thank you again for your generosity!

By working closely with the photography class, students had the unique opportunity to restore and share cherished images of their loved ones who have passed, displaying them on the altar as a heartfelt tribute. This initiative created a meaningful space for students to grieve, honor memories, and begin their healing journey. Additionally, the inclusion of colorful handmade flowers, crafted by students in commemoration of their loved ones, added a deeply personal touch to the altar, making it a vibrant, communal centerpiece that honored the tradition and its importance.\r\n\r\nThis project not only supported individual healing but also celebrated diversity and inclusion within our school. By involving Spanish classes, students had the chance to witness an authentic altar setup and actively participate in building it with the donated materials, such as large paper, markers, and whiteboards. This interactive experience helped enrich their understanding of this important cultural celebration while allowing them to share their own creative ideas. The collaboration between departments and students highlighted the power of shared traditions in bringing people together and created a space where our community could reflect, celebrate life, and deepen their appreciation of diverse cultures.","fullyFundedDate":1728997565896,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health-and-dia-de-los-muertos/8872818/","projectTitle":"Mental Health and Dia de los Muertos","teacherDisplayName":"Sra.

These items might not seem too flashy, yet they serve an important and specific service in my classroom.\r\n\r\nThe toner allows all 36 students, in each of five periods, to print their work from any of their classes. Many students do not have a printer at home so my classroom is their only FREE resource for printing thanks to your donation. The printer cartridge that you provided will print well over 10,000 copies. I can \"steal\" paper from a variety of resources, but getting my hands on toner is not such an easy endeavor.\r\n\r\nThe solid state hard drive has yet to be used as of today. That is a good thing! That means none of the computers in my classroom have failed so far this school year. Sure as the sun rises, one of them will fail (hard drive crash) by the end of the term and your drive will be used to replace the existing drive and get back to stasis.\r\n\r\nHappy New Year!!!","fullyFundedDate":1728747436752,"projectUrl":"project/to-print-or-not-to-print/8871810/","projectTitle":"To Print or NOT to Print","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kline","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9800842"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_24919","usesÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2400,"numTeachers":103,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.3,"schoolId":24919,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alta Loma High School on @ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½:","schoolName":"Alta Loma High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/chaffey-joint-union-high-school-district/alta-loma-high-school/24919"}
