These resources have already made a meaningful difference in how our learning space functions and feels. The bookshelf allows science materials, lab resources, and student work to be organized and easily accessible, creating a more structured environment where students can independently find what they need and stay engaged in their learning.\r\n\r\nThe sheet protectors and lamination have had a powerful impact on instruction and student participation. Important reference materials, diagrams, and hands-on activity sheets can now be reused, making them durable for repeated practice and collaboration. This has helped students interact more confidently with science content while supporting different learning styles through visual and tactile resources. Because of your support, my learners are benefiting from a classroom that is more organized, interactive, and sustainable, allowing us to focus more time and energy on curiosity, exploration, and scientific thinking.","fullyFundedDate":1763464936681,"projectUrl":"project/stem-resources-in-our-classroom/9902867/","projectTitle":"STEM Resources in Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10353320"},{"teacherId":9988420,"projectId":9219915,"letterContent":"How are you and your students using the new resources? Before this project, transitioning to our \"Thinking Groups\" was chaotic—supplies were everywhere, and valuable learning time was lost just gathering materials.

The magnetic pockets and erasers live directly on the vertical whiteboards now, meaning students can start solving problems within seconds of entering the room.","fullyFundedDate":1744389211006,"projectUrl":"project/building-thinking-classrooms/9219915/","projectTitle":"Building Thinking Classrooms","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ortega","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9988420_orig.jpg?crop=609,609,x918,y546&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743518761352","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9988420"},{"teacherId":9352730,"projectId":9582940,"letterContent":"I am so grateful and beyond blessed for everything that was donated!
