Because of you, our students have accessed the tools and supplies that bring science to life in ways textbooks alone never could. It helped me make my classes very engaging and hands-on. We have already begun using the new resources during hands-on investigations, including a recent activity where students tested solutions to observe chemical reactions and color changes. Watching them record data, discuss results, and excitedly make predictions reminded us how powerful learning becomes when students can explore concepts through real experiences. The calculators you've donated helped my students to worked with calculations needing scientific functions and allowed them to work with numerical data from experiments. \r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness and generosity, our next steps include building on these experiences through more structured and fun-filled experiments and student-led investigations. We are currently working on a project where students design simple experiments following the concept of C-E-R, gather evidence, and present their findings to the class. These resources will continue to support their growth in critical thinking, collaboration, and confidence. Your support has not only enriched our classroom but has inspired a new level of curiosity and wonder in our students that will last far beyond this school year. \r\n\r\nAgain, on behalf of my whole school, THANK YOU for believing in our learners and helping make science an unforgettable experience for them.","fullyFundedDate":1756374856666,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-science-learning-for-curious-mi/9481068/","projectTitle":"Hands-on Science Learning for Curious Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vivar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9703278_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752956759567","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-vivar"},{"teacherId":9291030,"projectId":9489139,"letterContent":"My students and I are using the new prizes, like small cars, squishies, and erasers, as rewards for completing tasks such as learning or participating in group activities.

One exclaimed, \"I can't wait to win the little car!\" Their excitement created a buzz in the classroom, making everyone more eager to practice and achieve their goals.\r\n\r\nThe prizes have fostered a sense of accomplishment, motivating students to work harder while adding a fun and positive atmosphere to our lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1758636727837,"projectUrl":"project/prizes-for-my-priceless-students/9489139/","projectTitle":"Prizes for My Priceless Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Manuel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9291030_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695858213614","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9291030"},{"teacherId":9291030,"projectId":9371801,"letterContent":"The addition of wireless microphones and cord hiders has transformed our classroom, improving communication, safety, and organization. The wireless microphones allow me to project my voice clearly, ensuring all students can hear, and give students the freedom to move and express themselves during performances. The cord hiders have eliminated tripping hazards and created a cleaner, more professional space. During a recent storytelling project, students used the microphones to narrate and act out skits with confidence and mobility, while the cord hiders kept the stage safe and distraction-free. Their excitement was immediate—many commented on how \"professional\" they felt, and their confidence soared as they practiced.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these tools will play an essential role in our upcoming talent showcase, where students will perform songs, skits, and speeches. The microphones will ensure every voice is heard, and the cord hiders will maintain a safe and polished stage environment. These resources have not only enhanced current lessons but have also inspired students to approach their projects with greater enthusiasm and professionalism. I'm excited to see how they continue to elevate our classroom experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1752586450970,"projectUrl":"project/concerts-wireless-microphones-and-cord-h/9371801/","projectTitle":"Concerts Wireless Microphones and Cord Hiders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Manuel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9291030_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695858213614","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9291030"},{"teacherId":9291030,"projectId":9371752,"letterContent":"Having music stands in our classroom has transformed the way my students interact with their music and instruments, creating an environment that fosters focus, organization, and professionalism. When the new music stands arrived, the excitement in the room was palpable. My students immediately recognized how these tools would elevate their learning experience. It improved posture and allowing them to concentrate entirely on their technique and performance. The stands have also added a sense of pride and ownership to their musical journey; each student has their own dedicated space to organize their materials, which has boosted their confidence and made them feel like true musicians.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the music stands will continue to play a crucial role in our current lessons and future projects.

Instead of that, I ordered some musical materials that are essential for my class. \r\n\r\nI got guiros, ribbon, tuners and spot (its supposed to dodge ball but I got the wrong item again but i just used it as my students spot reminder) The students were visibly excited and curious when introduced to the frog guiro, ribbons, electric tuner, and spot circles, with many eagerly engaging with the new tools and expressing enthusiasm about incorporating them into their activities.\r\n\r\nThese materials have a significant impact on the class by enhancing engagement, creativity, and hands-on learning. The frog guiro introduces students to unique percussion sounds, encouraging exploration of rhythm and texture. Ribbons add a visual and kinesthetic element, perfect for movement-based activities that connect music with physical expression. The electric tuner promotes accuracy and confidence in tuning instruments, while spot circles create a structured environment that aids in organization and spatial awareness during activities. Together, these tools make lessons more interactive and enjoyable, fostering deeper understanding and enthusiasm for music.\r\n\r\nThank you so much!","fullyFundedDate":1752586383253,"projectUrl":"project/organizers-plastic-storage-bins/9371959/","projectTitle":"Organizers Plastic Storage Bins","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Manuel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9291030_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695858213614","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9291030"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69450","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":51,"numTeachers":7,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":96,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"7.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":62.5,"schoolId":69450,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Garfield County District High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Garfield County District High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/jordan-school-district-1/garfield-co-district-high-school/69450"}
