Thanks to this support, we've been able to inspire students to develop a genuine love for reading by connecting their hard work and progress with purposeful, motivating incentives.\r\nThe materials and rewards purchased through this project have helped us build a stronger culture of literacy across grade levels. Students are more engaged, more excited to read, and more eager to challenge themselves. We've seen an increase in reading stamina, improved confidence, and a noticeable boost in students' willingness to discuss books, share recommendations, and celebrate reading milestones.\r\n\r\nBeyond academic gains, this project has helped create a positive, joyful environment around literacy—one where students feel recognized, encouraged, and proud of their growth. It has strengthened our efforts to support struggling readers while simultaneously empowering strong readers to push even further.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the generosity behind this project reminds our students that there are people who believe in them and want to invest in their future. That message alone has made a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1762267576418,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-culture-of-literacy-through-r/9768488/","projectTitle":"Building a Culture of Literacy Through Reading Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5945509_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759687707470","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5945509"},{"teacherId":8682712,"projectId":9595569,"letterContent":"I send you all mine and my students heartfelt thank you!\r\n\r\nThey are having a wonderful time learning to use the camera. My students use the camera to take pictures for the yearbook. It has been a wonderful tool to help some of my students be more interactive in school. \r\n\r\nThe students are excited about the new camera because there is a telephoto lens which lets them get close to the action when they are at a sporting event for school. \r\nI am uploading a picture of three of my male students who are normally reserved, but with the camera in their hands they speak volumes.

This may seem like a small change, but for my students, it has been incredibly powerful. With designated spaces for their work, they feel more prepared, more confident, and more in control of their learning environment.\r\n\r\nI've noticed a calmer start to our day, fewer lost papers, and smoother transitions between activities.

The technology helps students practice skills interactively, receive immediate feedback, and stay engaged through activities that are more hands-on and visual. It also allows me to better support students at different learning levels by adjusting lessons and practice to meet their individual needs.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is being able to actively participate in lessons using the new technology. They enjoy how it makes learning feel more interactive and accessible, and many students are more motivated to stay on task when using these tools. Seeing their work come to life on the screen has been especially exciting for them.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who previously struggled with focus or confidence have especially warmed up to this technology. Students who are shy or hesitant to participate are now more willing to try because they can work at their own pace and receive instant feedback. Overall, this project has helped create a more engaging, supportive, and inclusive learning environment for all students.","fullyFundedDate":1763496307775,"projectUrl":"project/essential-supplies-for-focused-and-acti/9902727/","projectTitle":"“Essential Supplies for Focused and Active Learning”","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rogas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9332186_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697659362268","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9332186"},{"teacherId":9332186,"projectId":9809125,"letterContent":"Thanks to this project, my students are actively using the new resources every day to support their learning and engagement in the classroom.

Several students expressed how happy they were to have new supplies, and it made them feel motivated and valued. Having access to these resources has helped create a more positive and supportive learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for my students include continuing to use these materials as we move forward with our current lessons and projects.

Model United Nations, and Anime Club. Students are not offered snacks for afterschool and thus the cookies, hot chips, popcorn, etc. were of great resource! We were also able to host a United Nations Day on October 24th for Immokalee Middle School (Please see pictures)!","fullyFundedDate":1755866291983,"projectUrl":"project/learning-essential-skills-for-life/9626417/","projectTitle":"Learning Essential Skills for Life","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10190801_orig.jpg?crop=1891,1891,x122,y79&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755633420519","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10190801"},{"teacherId":10223583,"projectId":9650110,"letterContent":"Thanks for supporting \"Math Rising Stars\" with your generous contributions.

This enables them to use the explanation tutorials/videos on ALEKS without disturbing their peers. It also provide students with special accommodations the ability to have items read aloud to them without the fear of feeling uncomfortable. They appreciate having enough pencils available in the classroom daily and now, they worry less when they run out of their personal supplies. \r\n The next step for \"Math Rising Stars \" will be, students working on creating a Math Alphabet book of concepts and illustrations in alphabetical order to show their understanding of seventh grade math content.","fullyFundedDate":1756336688534,"projectUrl":"project/math-rising-stars/9650110/","projectTitle":"Math Rising Stars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams Henry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10223583"},{"teacherId":9698440,"projectId":9575985,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing for my students.

With the resources you have provided, we have already done so many fun and impactful activities. One of the favorite room transformations of the year is the \"Glow Room\". This year, I transformed our classroom to an \"'80's Roller Rink\" and students worked on rigorous puzzles comparing the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution. The room environment (everything neon, glow sticks, and black lights) makes it so much fun and students do not even realize how challenging the work is! It is a great day and I look forward to it each year.\r\n\r\nAnother activity (new this year) was a benchmark about how to amend the Constitution. Students worked in groups to create a new amendment and try to get it added to the Constitution. Using the foam dice from this grant, students needed to roll certain numbers to get the amendment through the proposal stage and then through the ratification stage. (True to reality, most amendments did not get ratified.)\r\n\r\nYour donations help teachers like me to provide meaningful, fun, and engaging activities for students. Changing up the environment of the room (room transformations) and adding in simulations of various benchmarks provide students with hands-on activities that not only help with understanding complicated concepts, but also help with long-term retention of the information. For example, when prior students see me dressed up for the '80's Roller Rink day, they exclaim \"today must be about how the Constitution fixed the weaknesses of the AOC! That was such a fun day!\" That is music to a teachers ears and you helped to make that happen. Thank you so much for supporting teachers to create these moments.","fullyFundedDate":1754836788988,"projectUrl":"project/the-best-year-ever/9559007/","projectTitle":"The Best Year Ever!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Konicek","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9889036_orig.png?crop=272,272,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770303370096","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9889036"},{"teacherId":9606506,"projectId":9584451,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation. The Reading Retreat has been a big hit. My students have actually started doing more independent reading because they are inspired by the area. Apart from being a safe space for reading, it is also being used as a charging station where students plug in their devices while working on the bean bags or sitting on the carpet. They often remark how comfortable the area is and there is now a rush to see who can use the area first. The demand has been so great that I had to put rules in place for its use when not being used specifically for reading. Additionally, students use the area for group activities because they find it more relaxing than working at their desk. \r\n\r\nWhat started out as a way of encouraging reading has done so much more. It has developed social interaction, group collaboration and provided students with a more relaxing social climate. None of this would be possible without your donation. \r\n\r\nThank you for recognizing our need and stepping in with such generosity.
