Your support sends a clear message to our students: their education, their future, and their ability to care for the planet truly matter.\r\n\r\nThe materials you funded bring climate resilience to life in ways textbooks alone never could. With the Wildcraft! Herbal Adventure Game, students are learning about medicinal plants through collaboration, problem-solving, and play. This cooperative game encourages teamwork while teaching students how humans have relied on plants for healing for generations. It has already sparked thoughtful conversations about traditional knowledge, biodiversity, and the importance of protecting natural ecosystems.\r\n\r\nThe Carson MicroFlip pocket microscopes have opened an entirely new world of discovery. Students are examining prepared insect and animal slides with excitement and precision, using LED and UV light to observe structures they have only seen in diagrams before. The included smartphone digiscoping clips allow students to document their observations, connect science with technology, and share their findings—building both scientific and digital literacy.\r\n\r\nYour donation of inspiring books has expanded our students' understanding of climate solutions. Plants That Cure introduces them to the role plants play in medicine and innovation, while Biomimicry: Inventions Inspired by Nature shows how observing nature can lead to smarter, more sustainable designs. The Forest in the Sea broadens perspectives even further, helping students see how seaweed and ocean ecosystems can play a vital role in addressing global environmental challenges. These texts encourage students to think critically, creatively, and optimistically about the future.\r\n\r\nThe FoxFarm Grow Big liquid fertilizer supports our hands-on growing projects, allowing students to apply what they learn directly to nurturing plants. Through this work, students see firsthand how healthy soil, careful resource management, and scientific knowledge contribute to resilient ecosystems.\r\n\r\nBecause of you and DonorsChoose, our students are not just learning about climate resilience—they are practicing it. You have empowered them to observe closely, ask questions, collaborate, and imagine solutions. Thank you for investing in meaningful learning experiences that will inspire environmental stewardship for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1713811576235,"projectUrl":"project/climate-resilience-starts-in-the-classro/8324779/","projectTitle":"Climate Resilience Starts In The Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Risch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8654665_orig.png?crop=412,412,x39,y10&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727131514720","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8654665"},{"teacherId":5830045,"projectId":9696172,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your wonderful generosity!

Having access to items like tissues, pencils, and hand sanitizer helps make the classroom more welcoming.

We do these things because it helps to make a difference. Your support means so much in helping to ease the burden for both students and educators. It is my hope that we can push for a society that fully funds education so that every student can receive the quality education that they deserve in schools that are safe and fully funded.

Throughout the semester, students were able to experiment with the disposable cameras. They took photos of each other, their projects, school events, and our field trip to the Visual Arts Center. Additionally, they loved getting to use the dry-erase boards for reading and vocabulary review games. We were reading \"Determined to Stay: Palestinian Youth Fight For Their Village\" and students enjoyed getting to use the dry-erase boards in teams during our review game. Every single student participated in that review game, and students were even getting out of their seats as they got very competitive, in a fun and friendly way, with each other. \r\nThe reaction students had to receiving the supplies was pure excitement. When I received the phone call from the front office to notify me that my supplies had arrived, many students volunteered to help me get the supplies. Then, it was exciting to explain to them how disposable cameras work because most of them had never used or even seen one. When we first used it, they thought they could see the photo immediately. Students were able to receive some of the developed photos and I have some of them in my classroom. Many photos did not come out very well as they were underexposed and very dark, so I had to explain this to students as well that photography is something that they can learn and practice doing. \r\nWe will continue to integrate multi-media in my classroom and we'll begin including videography as well. We will continue to use these awesome resources!
