The first lab my students did using these materials filled my kids with excitement. \"Thank you, Ms. Miller, for letting us do this.\" They explored mixing solutions and chemical vs physical changes by doing a lava bottle experiment. The only reason I was able to give them this experience is because of you and your donation! They were still fondly talking about the lab days afterwards. \r\n\r\nThe next project we used these materials for was their 3D particle models. Students were able to have a hands-on experience of building models of how the particles of solids, liquids, and gases are arranged instead of just drawing them in their notes or reading about them in their textbook. This hands-on opportunity meant a lot to them. They were able to learn their grade-level science standard while also having fun! \r\n\r\nThen, on Halloween, I was able to let each student individualize and take home a cup of slime because of the cups and lids included in these materials. \"That was super fun, Ms. Miller!\" This is how they wrapped up their physical science unit by learning about non-Newtonian fluids. \r\n\r\nI'm not done. Thanks to your donations, I will be able to plan engaging and interactive science activities for my students all year long!","fullyFundedDate":1787659531704,"projectUrl":"project/spark-the-love-of-science/10330488/","projectTitle":"Spark the Love of Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10311389_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1781042422489","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-kristen-miller"},{"teacherId":10311389,"projectId":9830414,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping me build my classroom library. It creates a wonderful impact to have current, modern books in the classroom to excite students and help build their interests in the topics taught in my room. Previously, I had a few books left from the teacher who previously taught in my classroom and some kind book donations from a few people. but it is wonderful to now have books that can spark interest specifically in Science and Social Studies.\r\nIn my classroom, we use the books to practice independent reading for the students who finish their assignments before the bell rings. It's important for me as a teacher who works with students who had a variety of reading skills and needs to have books of all different reading levels so all students can practice reading while also enjoying what they're reading, and having a choice in what they read for pleasure. Students were very excited to see the new books in the classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1760906351654,"projectUrl":"project/science-and-social-studies-in-my-classro/9830414/","projectTitle":"Science and Social Studies in My Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10311389_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1781042422489","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-kristen-miller"},{"teacherId":372202,"projectId":9522190,"letterContent":"We are using the new bookmarks and floor chairs every day during reading and small-group lessons. Students choose a comfortable floor chair and use their bookmarks to track their reading and apply strategies we've been practicing, such as identifying key details and stopping to reflect on the text. One special moment was seeing students who usually struggle to stay focused settle in, get comfortable, and remain engaged for an entire reading block.\r\n The students were thrilled when they saw the floor chairs and bookmarks. Many immediately asked if they could use them right away. They loved picking out a chair and were excited to have bookmarks they could keep with their books. The new seating made reading feel more inviting, and students were eager to dive into their stories.\r\n Next, students will continue using the floor chairs during independent reading and literacy centers to build stamina and comprehension. The bookmarks will support upcoming lessons focused on reading goals, tracking progress, and reflecting on what they've read. These resources will help students grow as confident readers throughout the year, and we are so thankful to our donors for creating a more comfortable and engaging learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1764097412424,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-reading-ready-middle-school-c/9522190/","projectTitle":"Creating a Reading-Ready Middle School Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Phillips","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp372202_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1508772723274","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-kphillips"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_29465","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":571,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":83,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":55.3,"schoolId":29465,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Elise Ford Allen Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Elise Ford Allen Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/peoria-public-school-district-150/roosevelt-magnet-school/29465"}
