I take photos during hands-on activities, group work, and presentations, and students love seeing their efforts documented. They ask to look back at earlier photos to compare their growth, and it has made reflection a lot more engaging for them. The camera has helped us slow down and notice the little achievements that often get missed.\r\n\r\nSome students have taken a special interest in the process. A few have enjoyed helping with classroom photography and learned how to handle the camera responsibly. They take pride in capturing moments for the class and feel trusted and included.

The STEM kits and activity books gave my students the chance to explore circuits, solar power, and basic engineering in a hands-on way. They learned how to read diagrams, follow instructions, and test their ideas. It has helped them understand science in a way that feels real and connected to the world around them.\r\n\r\nReading looks very active in our room now. Students sit together with the guides open, talking through each step and checking the pictures before they build. They sketch in their notebooks, write down what worked, and discuss what they want to try next. Watching them use reading skills to solve problems has been one of the best parts of this project.\r\n\r\nI have a few students who have especially enjoyed these new kits. One group became hooked on the solar car project and kept trying to make theirs run faster. Another student who is usually quiet has been excited to show everyone how the hand-cranked generator works. Moments like these remind me how important these opportunities are.

We use the carpeted area daily for whole-class read-alouds, partner discussions, and other group activities. A recent highlight was our Book Review: students chose books from the Cozy Corner, annotated passages that showcased different perspectives, then sat together on the carpet to share excerpts and draft their book reports. The space made peer feedback natural and energized — ideas flowed freely as students lounged comfortably and engaged more deeply with the texts.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the students were thrilled — many went to the Cozy Corner, some even lay on the fresh carpet, and immediately began exploring the new books, checking over titles they'd wanted to read. That excitement translated into interests: students took turns recommending books, creating informal reading lists, and sharing their book reviews. Next, we'll build on that momentum by launching a student-led reading circle where learners will rotate roles (discussion leader, summarizer, connector).

The fidgets and sensory tools you provided have become essential daily supports—especially for students who struggle with focus, anxiety, or overstimulation. I've already seen students choose fidgets during independent reading, history note-taking, and group activities. One powerful moment happened during our World History lesson on the Indus Valley Civilization: a usually anxious student picked up a calming fidget cube and, for the first time this year, volunteered to share what they learned about ancient cities. Your donation didn't just provide materials—it opened the door for confidence, participation, and emotional safety.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks and new supplies, their faces immediately lit up. Many come to school facing challenges beyond the classroom, and something as simple as a healthy snack makes a meaningful difference in their ability to stay focused and feel cared for. Students kept saying things like \"Thank you! We needed this!\" and \"This helps me think!\" These resources have helped us strengthen classroom routines and build a supportive environment where students can self-regulate and stay engaged in world history learning.\r\n\r\nYour support allows us to take the next steps in our ongoing \"RezKids Explore\" World History program. Students are now working on mini-projects where they connect ancient civilizations to modern Indigenous cultures, and the calm, focused environment provided by your materials is helping them research, discuss, and express their ideas with more confidence.

The new resources you helped provide have transformed our classroom into a space where students don't just study history and geography—they experience them.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite recent lessons involved creating clay models of landforms and rivers in the Eastern Hemisphere. Students used their hands to sculpt mountains, valleys, and waterways while reading short passages that connected these landforms to early civilizations. It was inspiring to see how a simple set of tools could open the door to deeper understanding. As they shaped each piece of clay, they were also shaping their knowledge—discovering how geography affects culture, trade, and daily life. The classroom buzzed with excitement and purpose, and even the most reserved students eagerly joined in, asking questions, sharing ideas, and showing pride in their finished projects.\r\n\r\nThe new materials also encouraged collaboration. Students worked in pairs, helping one another label rivers or plan how to present their models. For many of them, it was the first time they had taken on such a creative, hands-on academic project, and it allowed them to build confidence while reinforcing important social studies concepts. One student said proudly, \"Now I understand how rivers made life possible for people in ancient times—it's just like how our own community depends on water today.\" That moment reminded me how powerful experiential learning can be when students can connect it to their own environment and culture.\r\n\r\nBeyond clay modeling, your support has made other engaging activities possible—like map puzzles, online geography games, and DBQ-style mini-projects that help students practice critical thinking. Our interactive touch-view board has allowed them to explore maps virtually, answer quizzes, and even trace trade routes with digital pens. Each day begins with a \"bell ringer passport\" activity where students reflect, write, and earn a stamp toward their learning goals. This system motivates them to be responsible and take pride in their growth.\r\n\r\nYour donation also helped us integrate Apache cultural elements into our lessons. Students compared traditional stories and places from the local community with regions we studied in the Eastern Hemisphere. This integration helps them see that their culture is an important part of the world's story, and that learning about others helps them better appreciate their own roots.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue expanding our \"RezKids Explore\" program by developing new projects that blend social studies, art, and technology. Students will soon create brochures about different countries, participate in a poster-making contest for Constitution Day, and take part in our Indigenous Heritage celebration where they can showcase their learning through cultural presentations.\r\n\r\nYour continued support makes these opportunities possible. Every marker, map, and packet of clay becomes a tool for building confidence, curiosity, and pride in learning. From all of us here in Cibecue—thank you for believing in our RezKids and for helping us keep their sense of wonder alive.","fullyFundedDate":1755757982103,"projectUrl":"project/rezkids-explore/9570558/","projectTitle":"Rezkids Explore","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gene Rose Velasco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10166718_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754819766062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10166718"},{"teacherId":8641939,"projectId":7863168,"letterContent":"Students were able to directly observe and identify organ systems, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of anatomy and physiology that went beyond what textbooks or online simulations could provide.
