They observed lunar craters and other heavenly bodies in the evening during our afterschool program. Watching middle schoolers understand that a tiny drop of water and the vast moon are both in their \"neighborhood\" was an awesome breakthrough.\r\n\r\nThe energy was electrifying when the boxes arrived. A student whispered, \"Are we really going to use this?\" When they first saw the heavenly bodies through a telescope or caught a glimpse of a living cell, the room erupted. They were not looking at a textbook anymore; they were looking at reality.\r\n\r\nYour gift did not just buy equipment; it gave my students the identity of a scientist. Thank you for making their universe so much clearer.","fullyFundedDate":1769178120124,"projectUrl":"project/zooming-into-science-from-the-cosmic-to/9963332/","projectTitle":"Zooming Into Science: From the Cosmic to the Tiny","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Godspower","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9930717_orig.jpg?crop=751,752,x0,y67&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754530705221","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/gonwudiwe"},{"teacherId":2446472,"projectId":9245169,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for taking the time to donate so that we could cultivate a love for books and reading in our students. The students really enjoy reading the books. Their faces light up. They are so excited about the vibrant colors in the books. \r\n\r\nBefore reading the books, we do picture walks through the books starting with the cover. The students get to create stories by looking at the pictures. It's fun to listen to the different stories they come up. Then following the picture walks they begin reading the stories. It has truly been an adventure listening to the different tales. \r\n\r\nWords cannot express how grateful we are for your kindness. Your support has made a tremendous impact on our students.

Your donation truly touched my heart and the hearts of our students. It provided the students with the tools needed in order to read and compete. It made a tremendous impact on the Reading Bowl program at our school. The students read the vibrant up to date books with so much enthusiasm. You can see their eyes light up when they open the books with the words jumping off the page. Once the students have finished reading they are able to communicate with their classmates and express the theme of the story. Students are actively engaged in reading and answering thought provoking questions about what they read. \r\n When we add the buzzers to the mix it comes alive for the students. It's a joy to watch them get excited. The laughter is so contagious. The students are eager to be the first one to press the buzzer so they can answer the questions before their classmates. Books and buzzers have helped our students to be excited about reading. It has helped our students to increase their reading, communication, and social skills. We sincerely appreciate all you have done.","fullyFundedDate":1740666766410,"projectUrl":"project/buzzers-and-books/9050585/","projectTitle":"Buzzers and Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2446472_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y255&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686345619214","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2446472"},{"teacherId":9364600,"projectId":9101299,"letterContent":"The new supplies have been a game-changer for our classroom routines and projects!
