Especially now, students really gravitate towards comfort reads so Manga has been something that they all reach for.

This school year has been a challenge, and our students have shown resilience. We are still waiting for our permanent bungalow/classroom to be ready and are currently at a temporary bungalow. This has affected the way we've been enjoying our Comfy Reading Couch. Regardless, our students were excited when they saw the comfy couch set. Even our bungalow/classroom got a more inviting look and feel once it was set up. Our students have been using the comfy couches every single day for reading and completing their different assignments. They take turns using our comfy couch and spending valuable learning time on it. Even when they are feeling a bit discouraged, using the comfy couch as a sitting option changes their mood. Once we get our permanent classroom, the comfy couch set will join us and be part of our new place. This was all possible because of your generosity and support.

There are so many things I was missing and I needed in order to be successful. I had no supplies and really needed essential items in order to feel successful in the classroom. I had no art materials at all so having paint materials and watercolors have already made it possible for me to do fun art projects with my students. I also had no scissors for older kids and we use scissors frequently.

The turn-in bin keeps everyone organized and helps kids know exactly where their work goes, which makes our day run so much smoother. And the letter-writing station has been such a sweet spot in the room—students love writing notes to friends, teachers, and family, and it's been a simple but meaningful way to spread kindness.\r\n\r\nWe're really grateful for how these new things have brightened up our classroom.

Students now have a cozy spot to reset when they're feeling overwhelmed, helping them return to learning with renewed focus. The beanbag chair provides a soft, inviting place for independent reading or quiet reflection, while the weighted blankets offer gentle pressure that helps calm busy minds and bodies. These simple supports have made a noticeable difference in helping students manage their emotions throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for how these tools have enriched the learning environment. The relaxing lighting creates a peaceful ambiance that encourages focus and reduces stress, allowing students to feel safe, welcomed, and valued.

While many of our donors use tablets for communication or entertainment, in our classroom, these devices are powerful tools for creation and inquiry. The technology is helping my students learn by moving them past traditional paper-and-pencil methods and into hands-on, active learning. For example, they are used for high-level collaboration and research, enabling small groups to access up-to-the-minute resources for their engineering projects and strengthen abstract math concepts through interactive apps that offer instant feedback.\r\n\r\nThe aspect of the new tablets that is most exciting to my students is the ability to instantly transition from an idea to a working model. They love the fluidity—they can research the best type of bridge structure one minute, sketch their design using a digital tool on the tablet the next, and then use the device to program a simulation of that bridge's performance. It empowers them to feel like true inventors. This hands-on, trial-and-error environment fosters a love for innovation and reinforces that mistakes are simply opportunities to redesign.\r\n\r\nWe have seen particular students truly flourish with this new technology. Several of our hands-on learners who often struggle with traditional written assessments have especially warmed to the new technology. This technology has given students a voice and a platform to demonstrate their immense problem-solving skills, leading to a visible boost in their confidence and engagement across all subject areas. Thank you for empowering these young learners to become confident creators and engineers.","fullyFundedDate":1755542659911,"projectUrl":"project/stem-comes-alive-tablets-for-curious-4t/9619695/","projectTitle":"STEM Comes Alive: Tablets for Curious 4th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lisa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6839075"},{"teacherId":10170003,"projectId":9618240,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions to our 2nd grade classroom.

We practiced identifying and describing settings, which has strengthened their writing skills, and applied the concept of \"making things ish\" in art, encouraging creativity and thoughtful expression.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is hands-on and interactive. Students gather to listen to stories, discuss characters and settings, and explore books independently. We have also shared our books with the larger community, including parents during read-alouds and reading buddies, which has expanded learning beyond our classroom walls and built excitement around reading.\r\n\r\nMany students are especially enjoying these new books. They are eager to revisit their favorite stories, connect events to their own experiences, and share their ideas with peers and family members.

Most of my students lost their homes and/or were displaced due to the devastating Eaton fires. Our school had to relocate to several less than ideal sites. Through it all, my middle school students demonstrated incredible resilience and held onto hope that we would be able to return to our beloved campus soon.\r\n\r\nThis school year, after many procedures to get our campus safe, we were able to return to our classrooms. It has brought joy and relief to all of us to be back! \r\n\r\nUnderstandably, the fires continue to impact my 7th and 8th grade students. For many of them, snacks have been difficult to access. Thanks to your generous donations, my classroom has been stocked with popcorn, Goldfish crackers, and Cheez-its for hungry students! Not only does this keep their tummies satisfied, but it helps them continue to learn and be pleasant throughout the day!

The patio set that your donations helped purchase has been a favorite since it arrived! In addition, the infrared thermometers you helped purchase will be a key tool for upcoming lessons about thermal energy. They will also be an important too for the middle school 'Green Team' club as they explore which areas around campus are hottest and could use more shade.\r\n\r\nI am lucky to have a patio at the back of my classroom which looks out over our school garden. The table and chairs I had previously were falling apart, and sat only two students. They were used occasionally, but the new set has become a real hotspot. I have considered adding a sign-up to reserve the spot during lunch times and study hall times! Students use it to socialize during breaks or to read or work on assignments during study hall or independent work time. \r\n\r\nIt makes me happy to be able to provide such a pleasant spot for students who went through so much after the Eaton fire last year. The space where our middle school moved temporarily last spring had very limited outdoor space dominated by concrete. I am glad that these students can now have a little spot surrounded by greenery and sounds of nature. With our mild California winters, we should be able to use the set most of the year.","fullyFundedDate":1755592474104,"projectUrl":"project/patio-space-and-science-tools-for-my-mid/9610380/","projectTitle":"Patio Space and Science Tools for My Middle School Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Desmond","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9938790"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28813","usesÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":370,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":26,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":70.5,"schoolId":28813,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Odyssey Charter School on @ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½:","schoolName":"Odyssey Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-county-office-of-education/odyssey-charter-school/28813"}
