They immediately began reading instructions, asking questions, and brainstorming how to make their eruptions as realistic as possible.\r\nNext, students will research real-world volcanic eruptions and compare them to their models. They'll present their findings in creative ways, such as posters or short videos, building both science knowledge and communication skills.","fullyFundedDate":1756931988662,"projectUrl":"project/we-are-smart-scientists-usbe-ai-for-k1/9651445/","projectTitle":"We Are Smart Scientists!

I have been hearing from my colleagues for several years how fun and exciting bucket drumming is, and I am happy to finally have added the supplies to my classroom as another great instrument option. \r\n\r\nWe started the year off with a super fun lesson on the drums for every class and every single grade (750 students in total). They learned the rules of the instruments, how to play, and how to take care of the supplies. Now that these basics are in place, we are able to pull the instruments out on short notice and use them to supplement other instrument practice or enhance a non instrument activity. \r\n\r\nIt is most amazing to have enough supplies for every student in my class to have their own instrument at the same time. This means students are more engaged, participate better, and become better musicians at the same time. Thank you so again for continuing to support the work done in my class. It brings joy to the students every day.","fullyFundedDate":1755701391488,"projectUrl":"project/drum-roll-please/9505622/","projectTitle":"Drum Roll Please!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amanda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6641421_orig.jpg?crop=750,750,x0,y140&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1569891469783","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6641421"},{"teacherId":8280895,"projectId":9539742,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of headphones and 3D printed dragons for our classroom prize box! The headphones are now an essential part of our daily routine—students use them during reading, math, and science activities, allowing each child to focus and hear instructions clearly without distractions. Recently, during a digital storytelling project, students recorded their own stories and were able to listen back using the new headphones. This made editing and improving their work much more engaging and accessible for everyone.\r\nWhen the students first saw the 3D printed dragons and new headphones, their excitement filled the room. Many of them immediately set new goals to earn \"class money\" so they could shop for a dragon. The dragons have sparked creative writing projects, with students inventing stories and drawing habitats for their new \"class pets.\" As we move forward, our next step is a collaborative research project where students will create podcasts on their favorite science topics—using the headphones to edit and listen to their work. Your generosity has truly enriched our classroom, and we are so grateful for the joy and opportunities your gifts have brought to our learning community.","fullyFundedDate":1755716180923,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-corner-for-curious-minds/9539742/","projectTitle":"Cozy Corner for Curious Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Roy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8280895_orig.jpg?crop=1544,1544,x892,y424&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642661153098","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8280895"},{"teacherId":10169799,"projectId":9576886,"letterContent":"We used hammering kits for a hands-on project where my students with disabilities hammered golf tees into pumpkins.
