Our students have enjoyed learning to use the binoculars, and are amazed at what details and features they can see up close. We've also used the books to help us to identify new species and learn more about the birds we see outside of our window everyday.\r\n\r\nOur favorite part of the project has been taking turns going out to feed the birds together. The pigeons that come most often are comfortable around us now and the students love when the birds fly up to them and eat close by. This has been particularly special for our students with disabilities who really love being around animals. \r\n\r\nThank you again! Your help really does make a difference in the lives of young people.","fullyFundedDate":1758926800110,"projectUrl":"project/camden-classroom-birdwatchers/9762301/","projectTitle":"Camden Classroom Birdwatchers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8916093"},{"teacherId":7052527,"projectId":9370231,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for your generosity in providing us with resources for our project, \"Wipe Out Germs: The Science Behind Everyday Clean.\" These materials have transformed our classroom into a space where science connects directly to real-world experiences.\r\n\r\nMy students and I have been using the new resources to explore how germs spread and how effective different cleaning methods can be.\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their excitement was contagious. Many of them immediately began brainstorming experiments they could try, from comparing soap vs. hand sanitizer to testing which classroom materials were the \"germiest.\" Their curiosity grew with each step of the project, and several students even shared how they went home and taught their families what they learned about cleaning habits.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only enhanced our science lessons but also empowered students to see themselves as scientists solving everyday problems.
