They have realized that there is a book out there for every type of reader and that reading does not have to be a chore, but a fun, relaxing experience! In addition, the students are not just reading, but also enthusiastically writing about their thoughts, predictions, inferences, and connections in their reading notebooks! Their responses are genuine and well thought out and they are even confortable with sharing their thoughts with their classmates. This has been made possible by your support for tomorrow's leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1722103953825,"projectUrl":"project/transformers-readers-in-disguise/8420565/","projectTitle":"Transformers: Readers in Disguise!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Osude","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6753551_orig.jpg?crop=665,665,x0,y2&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721955198451","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6753551"},{"teacherId":4794058,"projectId":8429502,"letterContent":"I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of the stylish gold hoodies. Your support is already making a meaningful difference in our athletes' experience this season.\r\n\r\nThese high-quality hoodies not only keep our team warm and comfortable during practice, warm-ups, and competitions, but they also serve as a powerful symbol of unity and team spirit. Wearing matching gear helps our athletes feel connected and confident, fostering camaraderie that strengthens their motivation and focus throughout the season.","fullyFundedDate":1718060290676,"projectUrl":"project/indoor-in-style/8429502/","projectTitle":"Indoor in Style","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4794058_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753105319014","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4794058"},{"teacherId":4794058,"projectId":8113923,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to receive an iPad to support our track and field program. This dedicated device will greatly enhance the ability of our team managers to accurately and efficiently record practices and track athlete progress, allowing our girls to reflect on their performances with clarity.\r\n\r\nCurrently, our managers use personal iPhones to capture practice footage and performance data, which has been helpful but limited. With an iPad solely for this purpose, our managers can more easily document practices and completions in a timely manner, providing valuable visual feedback for the athletes. Our team frequently discusses how important it is for the girls to see what they are doing well and identify areas for improvement. This device will make those observations more concrete and accessible.\r\n\r\nAthletes will be able to view their practice footage and meet races uploaded to Hudl, creating a comprehensive database of their performances. They can revisit these videos anytime to self-assess and reflect on their form and technique. This visual feedback, combined with constructive input from teammates, fosters a supportive environment for growth and accountability.","fullyFundedDate":1704739896159,"projectUrl":"project/run-it-back/8113923/","projectTitle":"Run It Back","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4794058_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753105319014","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4794058"},{"teacherId":4794058,"projectId":7179150,"letterContent":"I am truly grateful for the donation of the iPad, which is already making a meaningful difference in the lives of my students, both academically and athletically.\r\n\r\nFor my track team, this iPad is an invaluable tool that allows athletes to upload their race videos to Hudl after each meet. Hudl then compiles a comprehensive database of all their races, enabling the students to review their performances anytime they wish. My athletes frequently ask how they look and what changes they need to make to improve. With this device, they can see their races for themselves, reflect thoughtfully on their performance, and identify specific areas for growth.

Students explored themes of totalitarianism, illiteracy, and government structures. With the donated books, students were able to read and annotate at least two times a week with a physical copy of the text. They had many literary analysis assignments, including response paragraphs and an analysis essay. They created projects and participated in Socratic seminars based on their reading. The debates and conversations were fruitful in that they promoted the type of critical thinking required for a well-functioning society.\r\n\r\nUltimately, you provided a richer learning environment for my students. For this, I am immensely grateful. Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to experience this English literature classic.

Your generous support gives our students autonomy, decision making, and logical thought, \r\n\r\nIn addition, there have been unexpected benefits of your gift that we didn't necessarily anticipate. It's brought students together, who otherwise would have little in common. It's given several students who are on the autism spectrum, the opportunity to shine, and be on the same level or higher than their peers. And it has brought students into the library who would not have previously visited. So thank you also for friendships made, confidence increased, and relationships built. \r\n\r\nWe couldn't have done all of this without you","fullyFundedDate":1726703805678,"projectUrl":"project/powered-up-library-bringing-immersive-s/8410699/","projectTitle":"Powered Up Library: Bringing Immersive Storytelling to Life with PS5!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lawrey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3754766_orig.jpg?crop=1690,1690,x0,y101&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1597010846917","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/outleylibrary"},{"teacherId":4794058,"projectId":6495631,"letterContent":"I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the generous donation of iPads and digital materials. This incredible support is already transforming the way our students engage with their learning and track their academic growth.\r\n\r\nStudents often say they don't believe what they hear but trust what they can see. With these iPads, they now have immediate, digital access to their performance data after each unit assessment. We have developed an electronic database spreadsheet linked to the devices that allows each student to monitor their progress on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for every unit. This tool enables them to clearly identify their strongest and weakest TEKS, empowering them to focus on building content knowledge in targeted areas before final exams or STAAR tests.\r\n\r\nBy syncing reports directly to their iPads, students can perform self-checks whenever they choose, giving them the power to see their progress and advocate for themselves. This access encourages accountability and fosters a sense of ownership over their learning journey.\r\n\r\nHaving these devices in the classroom provides a seamless way for students to engage with the online program and take control of their academic success. Thanks to your generosity, we are creating a learning environment where growth is visible, progress is celebrated, and students confidently identify areas where they need support.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is making a lasting impact on our students' education, helping them build essential skills for lifelong learning and achievement.","fullyFundedDate":1663775178314,"projectUrl":"project/tracking-teks/6495631/","projectTitle":"Tracking TEKS","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4794058_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753105319014","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4794058"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8230","usesÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1100,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 9","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":8230,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hastings Ninth Grade Center on @ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½:","schoolName":"Hastings Ninth Grade Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/alief-independent-school-district/hastings-9th-grade-center/8230"}
