Instead of simply reading about concepts, they now have the opportunity to explore, experiment, and engage with materials that spark their curiosity. This hands-on approach has not only deepened their understanding but has also made learning exciting and memorable. My students are more eager to participate, ask questions, and truly take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nThe resources provided have allowed us to move beyond textbooks and lectures, giving students the chance to use their senses to see, touch, and interact with science. For many of them, this is the first time they've had access to such tools, and it has made a noticeable difference in their confidence and comprehension. I have already seen improvement in how well they retain information, and I know these experiences will continue to support their success on state tests and beyond.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly grateful for this support, as it not only impacts my current students but will continue to benefit future classes for years to come. Your generosity has truly given my students the gift of discovery, and I can proudly say that they are thriving because of it.","fullyFundedDate":1702918572969,"projectUrl":"project/touch-it-feel-it-better-understand-it/7705438/","projectTitle":"Touch it, Feel it, Better Understand it: Hands-On STEM Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Battles","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9203823_orig.jpg?crop=813,813,x100,y216&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692889577899","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9203823"},{"teacherId":9203823,"projectId":9138158,"letterContent":"Thanks to the generosity of DonorsChoose supporters, my students have been able to learn and create in ways that would not have been possible otherwise. The gimbal stabilizer and speaker gave them the chance to bring their ideas to life through high-quality video projects and interactive lessons, which boosted their creativity, teamwork, and confidence. Outdoor learning became more engaging and accessible with the utility wagon, making it easy to transport materials and extend our classroom into nature. These tools have truly expanded the ways my students can explore science and express themselves.\r\n\r\nThe science kits, laminator, and creative supplies have been just as impactful. Students have conducted hands-on experiments in sustainability and engineering, allowing them to see real-world connections to what they're learning. Preserving their work with the laminator has given them a sense of pride in their accomplishments, while the cardstock, construction paper, and scissors have encouraged innovation and visual expression. Even something as simple as disinfecting wipes has helped create a safe and organized space where students feel comfortable to explore and take risks in their learning.\r\n\r\nThese resources have transformed our classroom into a more interactive, engaging, and inspiring place. My students are not only learning content but developing curiosity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills that will serve them far beyond my classroom. Your support has given them opportunities to grow as learners and innovators, and I am so grateful for the lasting impact it will continue to have.","fullyFundedDate":1741698763190,"projectUrl":"project/the-science-corner/9138158/","projectTitle":"The Science Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Battles","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9203823_orig.jpg?crop=813,813,x100,y216&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692889577899","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9203823"},{"teacherId":6960340,"projectId":7178444,"letterContent":"When my students first saw the crayons that reflected their beautiful skin tones, their faces lit up with joy and pride.
