It immediately draws students' attention and serves as a powerful visual centerpiece for our learning. We refer to it often during lessons—it helps students see connections between elements, patterns in atomic structure, and the broader organization of matter itself.\r\n\r\nRecently, as we began learning about how the periodic table was created, I decided to cover it up. This simple change sparked curiosity and discussion—students began forming their own theories about why elements might be arranged in particular ways. When we finally uncover it, they'll be able to compare their ideas to the real structure, deepening both their understanding and their sense of discovery.","fullyFundedDate":1746785654549,"projectUrl":"project/starting-new-chemistry-class/9251808/","projectTitle":"Starting new Chemistry class!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kam","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9997077_orig.jpg?crop=403,403,x0,y817&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744299292852","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9997077"},{"teacherId":4936285,"projectId":9045875,"letterContent":"Thank you again for contributing to our classroom. As the year wrapped up I was able to continue giving students targeted practice through many of the workbooks that were purchased. Students also had really fun ways to practice their literacy skills using the games. They really enjoy the game Blah Blah Blah. They enjoy it so much that it's the number one requested task for early finishers which I love because they're practicing the skills they need. \r\n\r\nNow that we have started a new year in a new school the resources have provided a sense of familiarity for students who were with me last year. They also have allowed me to be able to give that same targeted support. The Mrs. Wordsmith resources are amazing. They pair vocabulary with memorable images that allow students to really conceptualize the vocabulary. As students continue to grow as writers, they are able to enhance and upgrade their vocabulary. They learned a lot about showing things in their writing and not just telling and that's when the books really came in handy. Students sometimes searched by image and then we were able to discuss the word together to see if it made sense for their writing. \r\n\r\nThanks you so much for helping me to give my diverse group of students more ways to access grade level standards and content. They're so proud of the work they're doing and it's because they see the growth. That growth has been made possible in part by you!","fullyFundedDate":1743036358719,"projectUrl":"project/targeted-tools-to-build-vocabulary-and-s/9045875/","projectTitle":"Targeted Tools to Build Vocabulary and Skills for Multilingual Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4936285_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1599586719737","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/littakesavillage"},{"teacherId":8280462,"projectId":8753632,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our ESL classroom!

They are able to focus on listening activities, practice pronunciation, and receive personalized instruction through digital platforms that support their unique language goals.\r\n\r\nIn a busy classroom filled with many levels of English proficiency, the ability to work independently and hear clearly has helped students build confidence and develop their skills more effectively. I've seen more participation, greater independence, and a noticeable improvement in focus during our lessons.\r\n\r\nYour contribution helped create a more inclusive, productive, and encouraging learning environment for my students.
