What a wonderful surprise. A great, big thank you to DonorsChoose, Optimum, and Michael Jordan & Jordan Brand for bringing these Sun, Earth, Moon Models into our classroom. I am so grateful for your support. My students will be able to manipulate the positions of the 3 celestial bodies to see how they move in relation to each other. Sometimes diagrams and drawings can be confusing for students to visualize. These models will help my students understand the rotation and revolution of the Earth and moon more clearly. Thank you for supporting public education. It truly matters, and you have made a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1778222441851,"projectUrl":"project/sun-earth-moon-models/10025717/","projectTitle":"Sun Earth Moon Models","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4824550_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1600638503435","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stom"},{"teacherId":4824550,"projectId":9316928,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting this project for a real stream table. Last year we improvised with Sterlite bins, but they were too shallow to effectively model stream erosion across a land surface. The sand kept collapsing on itself and the water just destroyed the entire landscape in one fell swoop. This stream table is equipped with a pump that cycles water over the land surface and back around. My students were clearly able to see the channels cut by the water released through several tubes. As the slope decreased, the channels formed wide meanders. Student planted houses on either side of each meander and made predictions on which houses would fall first. They were able to see that the houses placed along the outside curves fell into the water first because its higher velocity resulted in a faster rate of erosion, thus destabilizing the houses. This stream table is an excellent resource for hands-on learning.

This milestone represents years of hard work, growth, learning, and discipline.

Thank you for giving them a small treat to sweeten their passage. These little favor boxes filled with candy and chocolate are always appreciated by our students and their families, especially their younger siblings.","fullyFundedDate":1776753907387,"projectUrl":"project/congratulations-to-our-graduates/10166214/","projectTitle":"Congratulations to Our Graduates","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7486090"},{"teacherId":9364049,"projectId":9969685,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting this project for more playground balls to get my students up and running and playing during their physical education periods. Open ended free play is important for students to develop social skills while building physical strength through running, throwing, and catching balls.

These items will make the transition from high school to college a bit smoother. Parents will have fewer things to purchase for their children, giving them one less thing to worry about. My students picked out these wish list items themselves. Each tote bag, each pen, marker, and highlighter was selected by specific students. They were happily surprised that their wishes materialized. Thank you for believe in education and taking the time to donate to my students.

After a year of studying hard, it is time for them to enjoy the sun and go swim at one of our area beaches or a New York City Parks and Recreation center pool. All students have free access to these pools. Staying active over the summer break is vital for New York City high school students to combat \"summer drain\" and protect both their physical and mental health. Without the structure of the school year, many teens slip into sedentary habits, social isolation, and erratic sleep schedules. Engaging in regular physical activity, community sports, or outdoor recreation in city parks keeps students physically fit, sharpens cognitive function, and significantly reduces stress and anxiety.","fullyFundedDate":1777988827385,"projectUrl":"project/summer-sun/10229198/","projectTitle":"Summer Sun","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Chen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8055617"},{"teacherId":8055617,"projectId":9629520,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting this project that will allow me to share a little bit of my own culture with my students. One of the greatest advantages of living in New York City is its diversity. My students can hear languages from many countries on the buses and trains they ride to school.

Empathy is an important human quality. It makes life richer and more meaningful. It also enhances the experience of what it means to be human. Teen volunteerism is a powerful force beyond simply fulfilling a school's community service requirement. It starts a cycle of goodwill that influences adults to join in, creating a community dedicated to lifelong service. This transformative power instills a deep sense of community pride and commitment to improvement among the youth. In this article, we will explore how teen volunteerism can have a lasting impact on individuals and society as a whole.","fullyFundedDate":1770060266743,"projectUrl":"project/compassion-and-community/10065003/","projectTitle":"Compassion and Community","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4824550_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1600638503435","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stom"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102530","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":461,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":43.5,"schoolId":102530,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hostos - Lincoln Academy of Science on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hostos - Lincoln Academy of Science","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/hostos-lincoln-academy-high-school/102530"}
