I am so excited to use the computer and Teachers Pay Teachers codes to create more engaging material for my students. \r\n\r\nMy students need to take test on the computer, and sometimes their computers don't work - either they don't connect to the internet, they can't open the test, or their testing platform isn't updated. Having a backup device is great to keep the learning moving without stopping for all of these tech issues!\r\n\r\nIn addition, I have already been able to obtain some materials from Teachers Pay Teachers to make the first couple days of school even better! For example, I downloaded a \"Atom of my Life\" getting to know you worksheet, where students drew things in their life that were positive (protons), neutral/grounding (neutrons), and negative (electrons). After hanging them up in the classroom, this project received complements from many parents!

I especially like how they were able to connect with new classmates and have screen-free fun. The laughter and playfulness from high schoolers is truly contagious.\r\n\r\nBasic supplies like soap, paper towels, and hair ties help us stay safe during labs, allowing us to learn through hands-on activities.

The 13 quart bins have also been helpful in starting a series of building lab kits that my colleagues and I hope to continue using for many years with this curriculum.\r\n\r\nThe biggest hit was probably the first few products of my project that contributed to my brand new \"SEL Corner.\" Students instantly gravitated towards the \"Zen Sand Garden,\" Rubik's cubes, and stress balls (I probably need to order more soon already!).

It was an amazing way for students to engage deeply with complex content in a hands-on, creative way.\r\n\r\nYour support has also made our classroom more fun and motivating. The M&M's were handed out as a sweet treat during our \"cell organelle speed dating\" activity. In another lab, they used Sour Patch Kids to explore how Gymnema sylvestre affects taste perception, adding both surprise and scientific curiosity to our lesson on the nervous system and cell communication. The snacks you provided will be especially helpful in May, when my students take their AP Biology Exam—they'll serve as much-needed fuel and encouragement on that high-stress day.
