My students have shown tremendous gratitude for your generous donation. Lat year as a first year teacher I discovered the power of having simple supplies such as crayons and markers. I saw projects come to life, students being able to retain information better because they associated structures with colors (we have a lot of structures in Biology), it also helped me be a better teacher since I could scaffold lessons better by referring to colored diagrams. The supplies I received this year have definitely made an impact in my students, my classroom, and my way of teaching Biology.","fullyFundedDate":1750773738395,"projectUrl":"project/biology-notebook-essentials/9356924/","projectTitle":"Biology Notebook Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. De La Hoz Barajas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9549857_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747247100358","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-delahozbarajas"},{"teacherId":9741468,"projectId":8758130,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation!

Your generosity provided not just materials but also the opportunity for students to take ownership of their learning, fostering a deeper understanding of biology in an engaging and memorable way.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your donations is evident in the pride and enthusiasm our students displayed as they crafted their posters. Each colorful diagram of the circulatory, nervous, and other systems reflected their growing curiosity and mastery of the subject.
