Instead of simply reading about forensic principles, students are actively engaging with physical evidence, analyzing clues, forming hypotheses, and collaborating to solve a case. This has made our classroom feel like a real forensic lab—students are more focused, excited, and confident as they work through each step of the investigative process.\r\n\r\nThe mystery kit has also allowed me to connect classroom learning directly to real-world scenarios. Students immediately recognized how the skills they practiced—meticulous observation, evidence collection, critical thinking, and scientific reasoning—mirror the work performed by actual crime scene investigators. Many have even expressed interest in pursuing careers in forensic science, law enforcement, or laboratory work because they can now envision what those roles truly entail. Your support has transformed a traditional lesson into an authentic learning experience, and I am incredibly grateful for the lasting impact it will have on my students.","fullyFundedDate":1752841500106,"projectUrl":"project/ahs-forensics/9337470/","projectTitle":"AHS Forensics","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Britt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10029229_orig.jpg?crop=214,214,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750177161087","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10029229"},{"teacherId":9587844,"projectId":9440717,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating the funds that brought us a quality class set of headphones, the Kloo games that brings rigor and fun to learning in Spanish 2 each Wednesday and the seat back pockets are a game changer for making transitions between activities with the headphones and white boards quick and easy. \r\n\r\nThe students love using the headphones because they are high quality and come with a built in microphone which allows them to speak their responses to Duolingo activities with confidence.\r\n\r\nThe Kloo game challenges students to come up with complete and complex sentences in order to earn points and win the game.

Students worked as a group to solve problems, and when they showed perseverance and teamwork throughout the week, they were rewarded with a popcorn treat. Not only did this make learning practice more engaging, but it also turned into a celebration of their hard work and cooperation.\r\nMoving forward, these resources will continue to support our classroom behavior goals and provide encouragement during challenging lessons.
