Your support made it possible for our students to participate in an exciting, hands-on volcano project that they will be talking about for a long time.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies arrived, the students were thrilled. They could hardly contain their excitement as they began building their volcanoes. They truly loved every part of the process—making the volcanoes, coloring and personalizing them, and, of course, watching them erupt. Seeing their faces light up during the eruptions was an unforgettable moment.\r\n\r\nThis project had a powerful impact on their learning. By participating in a hands-on experiment, students were able to better understand scientific concepts, ask thoughtful questions, and make real-world connections in a way that goes far beyond reading from a textbook. Experiences like this help build curiosity, engagement, and a genuine love for science.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, we will also be using the remaining donated materials to complete an erosion experiment in January. The students are already looking forward to it and are excited to continue exploring science through interactive learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students and helping make learning meaningful, engaging, and fun. Your kindness truly makes a difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1764709890352,"projectUrl":"project/science-at-school/9896143/","projectTitle":"Science at School","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tifany BOYD","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8576078"},{"teacherId":7860289,"projectId":9191695,"letterContent":"I want to say thank you for your generous donation to my project.

These books give them a chance to choose and research newer people. They enjoyed all of the choices and everyone was able to pick someone they liked. Your donations are so appreciated. We take their research and produce a biography that we later publish in a class book through Student Treasures. Each student becomes a published author. \r\n\r\nOne boy who loves Kobe Bryant was so excited to read about his life and learn more about him.
