Because of you, my students have been able to experience history in ways that go far beyond a textbook—and they are more engaged, curious, and confident because of it.\r\n\r\nYour donations provided us with essential supplies like storage bins and organizers that help keep materials accessible and student-ready, anchor chart paper and markers that support collaborative thinking and visible learning, Spanish-English dictionaries and headphones that ensure equitable access for our multilingual learners, and creative materials like LEGO bricks and Play-Doh that have transformed how students demonstrate understanding.\r\n\r\nUsing the LEGO sets and Play-Doh, students built physical models of World War I weapons to explore how new technologies changed the nature of warfare. They also designed models of Industrial Revolution inventions, allowing them to visualize abstract ideas like mechanization, innovation, and mass production. These hands-on projects sparked meaningful discussions, required students to justify their design choices, and helped them make lasting connections between historical events and real-world impact.\r\n\r\nThe EduProtocol books you provided have also shaped how I design lessons. They have helped me create student-centered activities where all learners—especially English language learners—can collaborate, think critically, and share ideas with confidence. Combined with the chart paper, sticky notes, and colorful supplies, students are constantly engaging in visible thinking, group problem-solving, and academic conversations.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my classroom is a place where students build, create, discuss, and truly experience history. Your support has had a direct and lasting impact on how my students learn and how they see themselves as historians and thinkers.

The moment we installed the new heads, the students noticed the difference immediately. Their faces lit up when they heard how much cleaner, fuller, and more resonant the drums sounded. Your donation didn't just improve our equipment—it improved our morale and our belief in what we can accomplish.\r\n\r\nThese drumheads will be used daily in rehearsals, performances, community events, and school-wide functions. They will help us build proper technique, develop a unified ensemble sound, and showcase our program with pride. Your support directly impacts 55 hardworking percussion students who are striving to grow as musicians and as leaders in our school.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in their success.

It's not just about access—it's about purposeful engagement. Students are using the technology to collaborate on research projects, present arguments with multimedia support, and analyze literature using interactive platforms that boost comprehension. They're gaining real-world digital literacy skills that will serve them well beyond high school.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students has been how interactive and empowering the new technology is. Whether they're recording podcasts, designing slideshows, or conducting virtual literary circles, they feel a sense of ownership over their learning. One student said, \"It finally feels like we're doing work that matters and could actually be seen by people outside of school.\"\r\n\r\n\r\nA few students who typically struggle with traditional formats have especially warmed up to the new tools. One English Language Learner, for instance, began using speech-to-text features and visual presentation tools to express complex ideas with confidence—something she once found intimidating. Another student, who rarely spoke in class, used the tech to script and record a thoughtful podcast response to Macbeth—his voice finally being heard, quite literally.","fullyFundedDate":1641403122663,"projectUrl":"project/mobilize-yearbook/5940511/","projectTitle":"Mobilize Yearbook","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Myers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4490754_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1510609632833","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-j-myers"},{"teacherId":9551658,"projectId":9769596,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting \"Recording Lessons in the Spotlight: Reaching Every Learner.\" Your generosity has brought meaningful change to my students, many of whom are nonverbal and require hand-over-hand assistance.
