Your generosity has brought so much excitement, curiosity, and hands-on learning into our daily routine, and I cannot overstate the positive impact it has had on my students.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding outcomes has been watching students try vegetables they had never tasted before—or even believed they would like. Many have discovered new favorites and gained a sense of pride knowing they helped grow the food themselves. This experience has opened doors to conversations about sustainability, and healthy habits in a way that feels natural and exciting to them. They have even tried garlic chives!!!\r\n\r\nYour support has created meaningful learning moments that will stick with my students for years to come. Thank you for investing in their education and for giving them a chance to explore, experiment, and grow—both in the garden and as learners.","fullyFundedDate":1757542444313,"projectUrl":"project/first-grade-classroom-to-careers-in-scie/9644884/","projectTitle":"First Grade Classroom to Careers in Science!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Blakesley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9500707_orig.jpg?crop=1344,1344,x0,y17&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755971225119","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9500707"},{"teacherId":9552341,"projectId":9648460,"letterContent":"Our classroom extends our deepest gratitude for your donations!

It is so amazing to be able to make this memorable and watching students get excited about the different seeds and analyzing prior to planting, got everyone excited.

Your support has provided my 2nd-grade students with an amazing, hands-on opportunity to become real-life scientists!\r\n\r\nThe new Bio Orb materials are central to our unit on ecosystems and life cycles. We haven't got it fully set up yet because we are using donated supplies for the base, like rocks and plants to build our miniature world. But we are in the process!\r\n\r\nThe reaction was pure awe and excitement! When I unpacked the orb and it's components—the room buzzed with chatter. The students immediately started making assumptions and predictions on what they wanted to see inside. They wondered: \"How is the water going to move without us watering it?\" Or \"What climate might be best for us to sustain in our room?\". The most immediate reaction was the deep curiosity and a sense of ownership. These materials turned our regular science lesson into a magical, see-through window into nature. And to watch my students eyes glow and be over the moon to get start watching and learning about science is thrilling. \r\n\r\nOur first steps will be to complete and establish the terrarium. Then we will focus on data collection and observation through building long-term scientists.","fullyFundedDate":1746785832683,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-habitat/9264536/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Habitat","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Scott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9552341_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745296452746","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msjuliascott"},{"teacherId":9500707,"projectId":8978181,"letterContent":"I want to write a THANK YOU full of gratitude for privacy fences, noise cancelling headphones, and technology headphones.
