In the first week, I've had students recording the results of stress experiments on toothpick bridges, their process of teamwork on building spaghetti towers, and just building excitement and teamwork in general. It is still very early in the school year, but already these little powerhouses are becoming an essential tool for my students. I am excited to think of all of the possibilities in the coming weeks, months, and years that these will allow us to do. All the while, students aren't using their phones!

In that time, I prepared for my students by installing the cable management tools you sent, as well as LED lights in dim areas of the classroom. Most visible to my students though are the lamps. They really love having the extra light and the coziness of a coffee shop or personal desk light in their workspace. I'm grateful for how these tools tie together the room and make it feel like a more welcoming space. Little changes like this have helped us get the year started on the right foot!

One I am grateful for is the refreshing of our air purifier. Since we received the purifier through DonorsChoose, I've regularly shown students how much dust has been captured and what we've been spared from breathing. This little box makes the room fresher and cleaner. Thanks to you, as soon as September begins we will have the new filters in place ready to spare a new group of students from dust and allergens.

It thrust me into the role of a first-year teacher again for the first time in 20 years. Part of that challenge was rebuilding the lab infrastructure I had for many years. I should have known however that the decision would be so much easier with my Donorschoose community on my side to make the transition easier. The microwave and ice maker you donated are tools I will use for years to come. More immediately though, they facilitated a month and a half of science learning that will extend far beyond my classroom. Students collected, filtered, and copied their DNA, chilling their samples with ice from the machine you donated. The microwave was essential for us to make and pour our own gels so they could visualize their DNA. \r\n\r\n The results from there were equally as stunning. Everyone compared their DNA sequences to one another, and resoundingly a pattern emerged: DNA does not follow the racial divisions we often ascribe to one another. It is a powerful moment when science upends long-held assumptions about how the world works. My students walked away feeling a deep sense of connection with each other. They also are prepared to face down racial injustice with the simple fact that it is a lie made up to give power to some and deny it to others. \r\n\r\n Your donation made this moment possible. I and my students are grateful for your generosity in making this wonderful learning happen.","fullyFundedDate":1763582384706,"projectUrl":"project/ice-ice-microwave-baby-dna-science-r/9790878/","projectTitle":"Ice, Ice, Microwave, Baby: DNA Science Requires Ice and Heat!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wolf","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp105598_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659531638843","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/queenssatellitescience"},{"teacherId":105598,"projectId":9518960,"letterContent":"When I get to school before the students, there's a new routine. I put on a pot of boiling water, and add coffee to the machine. We've been doing this routine for a few weeks now, but your donations have supercharged it. The water filters mean I don't need to lug pots upstairs, and students can stay in class and drink from the faucet when they are thirsty. Your donations mean we can keep going through the spring and maybe even into next year with the teas, hot cocoa, and coffee you donated. \r\n \r\n\r\n My students commented, \"ooooh, fancy cups,\" when they saw the mugs and mug tree, as well. It's something simple, but it's making the classroom feel more like home. All year I've wanted them to see our school as more than a place just to do work - I've wanted them to see it is a community.

My students used them to understand the structure of DNA during our Race and DNA project. From understanding the structure and the importance of the bases, students went on to compare their own sequences to one another. The result? The race they see on the outside doesn't tell us much about who we are related to. White teachers and students were more related to Asians. Students and teachers from Africa and the Caribbean were more related to Latinos than one another. It was a powerful result that helped these young people use science to address the injustice of one of the most persistent myths of our society.

My tough class, which often induces anxiety before they come in, went really well. I had a hypothesis that they were less able to focus and chattier at this time because they still have an hour to go until lunch. It seemed I was proven right even before they sat down, because one student came in and said \"I'm hungry,\" before even seeing the spread of snacks alongside the do now handouts on the front table. I gave them a few minutes to eat while they had their do now question, and there was more focus, less chatter, and overall more work done. I don't want to declare it a perfect class, because there are still those stragglers who aren't managing their time well yet, but it was progress. It was thanks to you that I was able to even begin to work on this problem - the snacks made a difference. As long as they last, I'm going to keep bringing them out for classes and to entice more students to stay for clubs. You made a tangible difference in my day and my students' day, and for that, thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1762526601368,"projectUrl":"project/learning-all-day-snacks-keep-hunger-at/9819542/","projectTitle":"Learning All Day?
