You have no idea the impact these microscopes have had on my Setting 3 Special Ed science class. We use them weekly, and they have completely changed the game for the kids.\r\n\r\nBefore, science could feel a bit abstract or tough for them to engage with. But now? Their interest has peaked tremendously. It's like a switch flipped. They are so hooked that they want to put everything under the lens now.\r\n\r\nThey're bringing random objects left and right, leaf veins, fabric from their sleeves, pencil shavings, just begging to see what it looks like up close.\r\n\r\nFor students, hands-on, visual learning is everything. You didn't just give us lab equipment; you genuinely unlocked their curiosity and made science concrete for them. \r\n\r\nWe are so incredibly grateful for your generosity.\"","fullyFundedDate":1769687996142,"projectUrl":"project/unlock-hidden-worlds-microscopes-for-sp/10035806/","projectTitle":"Unlock Hidden Worlds: Microscopes for Special Ed Food Detectives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. La Shawn Hankton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9823514_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747321131464","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9823514"},{"teacherId":10429330,"projectId":10085270,"letterContent":"The AP exam prep books were an essential part of the classroom as soon as they arrived.

One of the first assignments was the book was used for an FRQ where the students were allowed to use their notes and the book. Most kids opted for the book on that assignment. The book also took center stage in the review for the final AP exam and I saw many using in our class study sessions. \r\n\r\nAfter the AP exam many of the students expressed delight as they felt they did a really good job on the AP test. Some even said it was easy. It is no doubt that the AP exam prep book helped them prepare to the point where they feel that way. of course official results wont appear till July but mood for the kids after the test was really positive. \r\n\r\nThank your for providing this book to my students we are deeply appreciative of your support in what has proven to be a quite different year for our school and city as a whole.

Having these snacks available is more than just a treat, it shows students that there are people who care about their success and well-being. Your kindness has brought excitement and appreciation into our classroom in a way that truly matters.\r\n\r\nThese snacks have become a powerful tool for building a sense of community among my students. Sharing food creates moments of connection, conversation, and inclusion, helping students feel more comfortable and supported. It encourages a positive classroom culture where students celebrate each other's efforts and feel motivated to participate. These small but meaningful moments help strengthen relationships and create a space where everyone feels valued.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the snacks serve as a positive incentive for students to stay focused and complete their work. They provide encouragement for students to put forth their best effort and take pride in their accomplishments. This has led to increased engagement, improved behavior, and a stronger sense of responsibility in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1770907293459,"projectUrl":"project/hungry-minds/10081177/","projectTitle":"Hungry Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wilbur","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3093363_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1488901803108","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3093363"},{"teacherId":9815735,"projectId":10010557,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for the generous donation of 3-ring binders to our English classes. These binders have quickly become an essential part of our daily routines, helping students keep their notes, assignments, and reading materials organized in one place. One memorable moment came during a recent literary analysis project, when students used their binders to sort evidence, drafts, and feedback. It was exciting to see them flip confidently between sections, making connections and revisions with far more ease than before. The binders have truly supported a more structured and focused learning environment.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first received the binders, their reactions were immediate and enthusiastic. Many of them expressed excitement about having a dedicated space for their work, something that felt both personal and academic. For some, it was the first time they had a tool like this just for their learning, and they took great pride in setting it up with tabs, dividers, and labeled sections. That sense of ownership has already translated into greater responsibility and care for their assignments.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, students will continue using their binders as we move into our next unit focused on research and argumentative writing. They will organize sources, outline their ideas, and track revisions all in one place, building skills that extend beyond the classroom. These binders are not just supplies; they are helping students develop habits of organization, independence, and confidence that will support them throughout their academic journeys. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1769469002532,"projectUrl":"project/bind-us-together-with-organization-tools/10010557/","projectTitle":"Bind-Us Together With Organization Tools!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Midtling","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9815735"},{"teacherId":9823514,"projectId":10133216,"letterContent":"Thank you for funding \"Teen Fuel\"! \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw that they could have a Sprite for a snack, their faces lit up, and some asked, \"for real?\" They immediately started sharing, saying, \"Ms. La Shawn, you're a real one!\"\r\n\r\nWe've been using these refreshments during reading sessions and group projects, but mostly during passing time, to keep energy high so students stay focused and engaged longer in all their classes daily.\r\n\r\nThe materials are continuing to transform our environment into a welcoming space where students feel valued and energized.\r\n\r\nNo more mid-lesson slumps.

The 3D printer and filament have honestly made a huge difference, especially for our special education students.\r\n\r\nA lot of people use technology at home, but in our classroom, this takes learning to a whole different level. For many of my students, it can be tough to understand things just by reading or listening. But with the 3D printer, they're able to actually create something and hold it in their hands. That makes learning real for them. It helps with things like problem-solving, following directions, and staying focused.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for them is seeing their ideas come to life. They'll design something, and then watch it slowly build layer by layer—it really grabs their attention. And when it's finished, you can see how proud they are. It builds confidence in a way that's hard to describe.\r\n\r\nI've also seen students who don't usually participate step up in a big way. Some of my quieter students are now leading, helping others, and really staying engaged. For students who struggle with writing or explaining their thinking, this gives them another way to show what they know.\r\n\r\nSo this isn't just a piece of equipment for us—it's something that's helping our students feel successful, creative, and included.
