It's inspiring to see their curiosity grow as they explore new concepts and participate more actively in lessons.\r\n\r\nMy students are able to follow along and those who struggle to keep up or have a harder time navigating the Amplify curriculum and website are able to watch me model and go through the steps with them, which allows more time for them to be engaged in the activities, and less time being frustrated and just trying to figure out what they are even supposed to be doing.

When the boxes arrived, my students were beyond excited—some even said, \"This is more packages than I get for Christmas!\" and \"I can't wait for you to open them!\" Watching their faces light up reminded me just how much your kindness matters. You didn't just send supplies—you brought energy, excitement, and a sense of possibility into our room.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donations, my students can truly experience science rather than just read about it. We've been using the streak plates to test minerals and understand where they fall on the Mohs hardness scale. The hand lenses have been a game-changer during our rock transformation unit, helping students closely observe luster and crystal structures. We've continued using them in our chemical reactions unit as well, allowing students to compare powders by observing properties such as color, crystal shape, and behavior (e.g., adhesion and cohesion). These tools are helping students think and act like real scientists.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we are excited to create even more hands-on learning opportunities using these materials—like modeling convection with lava lamps and continuing detailed observations with our hand lenses and streak plates. These science concepts can be challenging for seventh graders, but when they can see and interact with models, their understanding deepens in a powerful way. Because of you, my students are making stronger connections and building confidence in science every day. Thank you for investing in their learning and their future.","fullyFundedDate":1768683196238,"projectUrl":"project/from-core-to-crust-earth-science-in-act/10019690/","projectTitle":"From Core to Crust: Earth Science in Action","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Skinner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8172791_orig.jpg?crop=898,898,x0,y38&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733201725469","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8172791"},{"teacherId":5245564,"projectId":10012152,"letterContent":"I am overwhelmed with gratitude for your generous contribution to my DonorsChoose project.

Students are working harder, taking their time, and demonstrating greater focus because they are excited about earning rewards. Many of them talk enthusiastically about items they \"have their eye on,\" which shows they are setting goals and pushing themselves to achieve them. The positive energy during testing days is undeniable, and it has transformed what can sometimes be a stressful experience into something students approach with determination and confidence.\r\n\r\nThe excitement continues when assessments are returned. Students eagerly anticipate seeing their results and proudly remind me not to forget the prize buckets. This system has created a culture where effort and achievement are celebrated. Instead of viewing assessments negatively, students now see them as opportunities to grow, improve, and earn recognition for their hard work.\r\n\r\nOur classroom binders have also played a significant role in supporting student success. By keeping all materials organized in one place, students are better prepared and less anxious about misplaced assignments. Because the binders remain in the classroom, students do not have to worry about carrying them throughout the day, which reduces stress and increases responsibility. Together, the prize incentive system and structured organization have helped create a motivated, organized, and goal-oriented learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1768424846876,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-and-incentives-to-support-math/10013155/","projectTitle":"Supplies and Incentives to Support Math Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. K","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9377335"},{"teacherId":7858205,"projectId":10005858,"letterContent":"The treats you provided to my students have already impacted them to work harder and try their best.
