Many of my students are multilingual learners or brand new to AP science, and knowing they will soon get to see real structures rather than just study diagrams has boosted their confidence and excitement.\r\n\r\nIn March, we begin our Evolution unit, which includes comparative anatomy. That's when students will use the frogs to explore circulatory systems and the animal diversity specimens to compare structures across phyla. These experiences will prepare them for constructing phylogenetic trees, analyzing biodiversity, and making the kind of scientific connections that stick for a lifetime.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this opportunity possible—your support ensures that when March arrives, my students will be ready to dive into hands-on science with curiosity and confidence!","fullyFundedDate":1750967931359,"projectUrl":"project/dissecting-diversity-exploring-life-thr/9283344/","projectTitle":"Dissecting Diversity: Exploring Life Through Hands-On Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3770809_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1571267416852","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3770809"},{"teacherId":10247955,"projectId":9696709,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping to buy a class set of \"No Fear Macbeth\".

The snacks you helped provide were especially appreciated during our extended testing sessions—students were visibly re-energized after a quick snack break, allowing them to stay focused and finish strong. The boost made a real difference in their endurance and morale during a challenging academic assessment.\r\n\r\nIn addition to supporting our testing needs, your contributions also helped bring some fun and excitement into our classroom. We used some of the snacks as prizes during review games, which turned preparation into a high-energy, competitive experience that students looked forward to. The board games were incorporated into end-of-class game time, where students played educational and collaborative games—turning extra time into meaningful engagement rather than idle minutes.\r\n\r\nPerhaps most exciting of all, these resources helped bring literature to life during our escape room station activities introducing George Orwell's classic novella, Animal Farm. Students rotated through interactive stations that challenged their critical thinking and introduced key background schema and knowledge as well as vocabulary and concepts from the novel. With your support, the classroom transformed into a place of discovery, collaboration, and fun.

A granola bar or crackers before first period makes a noticeable difference—students are more alert, ready to participate, and able to give their best effort in class.\r\n\r\nWhen the snacks first arrived, the reaction was pure joy and relief. Several students immediately said things like, \"Now I don't have to worry about being hungry all morning,\" and one student quietly told me, \"This helps me so much—I can think now.\" Their gratitude was heartfelt, and it was clear how much this small gesture meant to them.\r\n\r\nNext, we're continuing to build on this supportive classroom environment by pairing the snack routine with morning goal-setting and check-ins. Having their basic needs met makes it possible for students to focus on bigger goals—whether it's completing assignments, preparing for exams, or practicing English skills.

The binders you provided have been especially meaningful—many of my freshmen were thrilled to receive their own, and for some, it's the first time they've had a dedicated place to track their work. Watching students flip through their binders with pride and realizing, \"This is mine, I can keep everything together now,\" was a powerful moment.\r\n\r\nThe clear storage boxes have already transformed our lab days. In a small classroom, keeping materials accessible and tidy can be a real challenge. Now, students know exactly where to find what they need, which allows us to spend more time experimenting and less time scrambling for supplies.\r\n\r\nThe index cards are being used daily—for quick reviews, student-created flashcards, and even group brainstorming. Students like the flexibility of jotting down ideas and then rearranging them during discussions.\r\n\r\nFinally, the bookshelf has given us a central hub for binders. Students don't have to worry about losing their materials at home; instead, they have a safe space in the classroom to keep their work. It's fostering accountability and easing stress, especially for students facing challenging circumstances.\r\n\r\nNext steps: We're building on these foundations by starting our next big unit project, where students will use their binders to track long-term lab data and reflections. They'll store their lab notes and index card study sets in one place, and the organized storage system means labs can flow more smoothly. Your support has laid the groundwork for a more structured, engaging, and equitable classroom experience.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the chance to learn with dignity, pride, and curiosity.","fullyFundedDate":1690838081607,"projectUrl":"project/organize-empower-equipping-future-min/7543112/","projectTitle":"Organize & Empower: Equipping Future Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3770809_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1571267416852","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3770809"},{"teacherId":4739339,"projectId":9240133,"letterContent":"A series that captures a student's interest is the goldmine, the ultimate reward for bringing new texts into a classroom, new stories within their reach.
