The impact of your donation was visible the moment the students walked in and saw the new materials spread out on the table. Their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to get their hands on them.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, engagement in our classroom has reached an all-time high. We are using these props to bridge the gap between abstract vocabulary and real-life conversation. I have noticed a distinct change in my students' attitudes; they are trying harder than ever to form complex sentences just so they can interact with the props during our activities. They are truly having fun, and the fear of making mistakes has been replaced by the excitement of participation.","fullyFundedDate":1756260473450,"projectUrl":"project/creativity-curiosity/9432908/","projectTitle":"Creativity & Curiosity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ron-Yerushalmi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6397221_orig.jpg?crop=302,302,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1678660667676","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6397221"},{"teacherId":3102279,"projectId":9313111,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom makerspace! Your generosity has transformed our science and design lab into a place where imagination meets real-world engineering. The new tools, 3D printing filament, and safety gear have allowed my students to move beyond ideas on paper and actually bring their inventions to life. They're learning that science isn't just something we read about—it's something we do. Whether they're designing rocket fins, prototyping survival tools, or building robot courses, students are developing a deeper understanding of physics, engineering, and design through hands-on problem-solving.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students has been the opportunity to see their digital designs turn into real, tangible objects. Watching a 3D printer in action never gets old, and it has completely changed the way they approach creativity and iteration. They've learned that mistakes are part of the process—and that every failed print brings them closer to a better design. Many students who were once hesitant to participate are now leading their teams, using the printers and hand tools with growing confidence and pride.\r\n\r\nWhat's been most inspiring to see is how this new makerspace has sparked a culture of collaboration and curiosity. Students now eagerly share ideas, troubleshoot challenges together, and celebrate one another's successes. The excitement is contagious—our classroom buzzes with problem-solving, laughter, and discovery as students test, tinker, and refine their designs. Thanks to your support, our science and design lab has become a place where teamwork fuels innovation and curiosity drives learning every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1746578891775,"projectUrl":"project/inventors-on-a-mission-exploring-stem-t/9313111/","projectTitle":"Inventors on a Mission: Exploring Stem Through Hands-On Design","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kessler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3102279_orig.jpg?crop=750,750,x0,y192&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1583189375381","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-kesslersclassroom"},{"teacherId":6397221,"projectId":9258248,"letterContent":"On behalf of our Hebrew students, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our project \"Make the Hebrew Language Class Come Alive!\" Thanks to you, our classroom has transformed into a space filled with energy, creativity, and meaningful engagement.\r\n\r\nYour contribution brought puppets, colorful dice, realistic plastic food items, and vibrant folders into our students' hands—and these simple tools have completely elevated their learning experience.\r\n\r\nPuppets: Our students light up when they take the puppets into their hands. They use them to act out conversations, play roles, and practice Hebrew in ways that feel authentic and fun. Speaking through a puppet has given even our shyest learners the confidence to express themselves in Hebrew.\r\n\r\nPlastic Food Items: Whether it's \"eating breakfast\" or \"getting ready for bed,\" the food props make daily routines come alive. Students practice vocabulary and structures while role-playing real-life situations, turning abstract words into meaningful, memorable experiences.\r\n\r\nColored Dice: The dice have added an element of surprise and play to language practice. Students roll to discover new words, questions, or challenges, which keeps them curious and eager to participate. What once felt like \"drill\" now feels like a game.\r\n\r\nPlastic Folders: Even something as simple as colorful folders has made a big difference. Students take pride in organizing their work, and the visual cues help them transition smoothly between tasks, reinforcing structure while supporting independence.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our Hebrew classes are no longer just about memorizing words—they are about living the language. Students are more engaged, excited, and willing to take risks in their speaking. Their smiles, laughter, and eagerness to participate are daily reminders of the powerful impact of your generosity.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our vision and for helping us give our students the joy of learning Hebrew in such an interactive, meaningful way.
