We have been making use of all of the materials and my students were so excited about the new opportunities they provided. We are working with a local elementary school to find a time when students can come over and learn from our students in the garden and have a book read to them. We have also started a lot of seeds, including the sunflowers. It's been hot here in Southern California for the past several weeks so we kicked them off in the classroom with our seedling started paper and some plastic tray tops the cafeteria wasn't using. Students got to see their seeds sprout and push the covers off the tops as their cotyledon's kicked out!! It was fun to see high schoolers awe and wonder about a seed.\r\n\r\nWe have cleaned up our gardens from the summer over growth and are now putting our sprouted seeds in. We hope to have a strong fall harvest to send home with students for their holiday meals.

Having this tank here gives my students a practical look at science in action, making it much easier to connect what we discuss in class to a real environment.\r\nThis resource is already proving really useful in our day-to-day lessons. My chemistry students will use it to practice testing water parameters like pH and nitrate levels, while my biology students will observe food webs, bacteria cycles, and environmental balance firsthand.

Science can often feel abstract, but this curriculum brings core concepts to life through hands-on, real-world projects. It gives my students the opportunity to collaborate, problem-solve, and truly think like scientists rather than just memorizing formulas from a textbook.\r\nThis new resource is making a tremendous difference in our classroom, especially for our English Language Learners (ELLs). The lesson plans are thoughtfully scaffolded with built-in visual aids, vocabulary support, and step-by-step guidance. This structured framework ensures that all of my students, regardless of their English language proficiency, can confidently tackle challenging material and engage in advanced scientific thinking.

As a speech-language pathologist, I support students with various learning disabilities that impact their education skills. I work with students who stutter, have expressive or receptive language impairments, use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices, or struggle with social language. Your donations have provided engaging and fun opportunities for my students to practice their individualized speech goals and improve their overall communication abilities. Aside from the small inventory of material provided by my district's speech department, I use my own money to purchase or create speech therapy materials, games, visual supports, handouts, lessons, and art supplies for my sessions with students. Your donations have helped contribute to the speech classroom material collection that will be used by students for many years.\r\n\r\nI am lucky to have a Smart Board in my classroom and with the donated Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) gift card, I was able to purchase \"Virtual Vacations,\" digital speech therapy material to transport students to other places around the world. My students have loved taking \"virtual field trips\" to learn about the Grand Canyon, Maui, Yellowstone, Paris and DC while also practicing language, conversation, and communication skills. A few of my students have expressed wanting to visit these places in person. I also purchased \"Speech Therapy Push in Group Activities Self Contained Classrooms\" TPT material that has allowed me to incorporate novel and exciting AAC and functional communication activities for my students earning a modified diploma. They've enjoyed the interactive activities and lessons on different topics from this material: Lunar Chinese New Year, Earth Day, shamrocks, and Black Inventors for Black History Month. Additionally, the donated games, Guess Who?, Hungry Caterpillar, and Social Cues 2, have been big hits among my students learning and practicing how to describe, ask questions, narrate/sequence stories, state likes/dislikes, make inferences or predictions and form expanded sentences with greater detail.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting special education and students receiving language and speech services at University High School!","fullyFundedDate":1769177710967,"projectUrl":"project/building-teens-language-and-speech-skil/9864934/","projectTitle":"Building Teen's Language and Speech Skills Together","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Katrina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10335891_orig.jpg?crop=2157,2157,x403,y937&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763144223819","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10335891"},{"teacherId":9519976,"projectId":9872771,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your incredible generosity in funding our project for AP Chemistry curriculum resources. Your support has provided my students with high-quality lesson plans, comprehensive worksheets, and rigorous practice exams that are essential for mastering such a challenging subject. AP Chemistry is often considered one of the most demanding courses a high school student can take. Having access to these professional materials from Teachers Pay Teachers allows us to:\r\n\r\nFocus on Mastery: Students can engage with complex concepts like thermodynamics and chemical kinetics through clear, structured practice.\r\n\r\nBuild Confidence: The practice exams provide a realistic preview of the AP exam, reducing test anxiety and helping students track their progress.\r\n\r\nMaximize Lab Time: With ready-to-use worksheets and outlines, we spend less time on administrative prep and more time on hands-on inquiry and experimentation.\r\n\r\nIt is truly inspiring for my students to see that people like you are invested in their academic success.

The technology allows students to move beyond ideas on paper and actually create real, functional parts. Using 3D design software and a 3D printer, students can design their own robot components, test them, and quickly make improvements. This process builds problem-solving skills, creativity, and perseverance, while also helping students understand how math, science, and engineering work together in real-world applications.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is seeing their ideas come to life. Being able to design a part on the computer and then watch it print into a physical object is incredibly motivating. The 3D printer also allows students to make fast design changes, which is critical during competition season. Because of this, our team was able to quickly redesign and improve parts and team 22813 earned 1st place at our first robotics meet. Students also love that they can print parts they need immediately instead of waiting or going without.","fullyFundedDate":1756961948404,"projectUrl":"project/help-fund-our-first-robotics-ftc-teams/9586521/","projectTitle":"Help Fund Our FIRST Robotics FTC Teams","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bautista","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6427689_orig.jpg?crop=533,533,x0,y83&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756396148123","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6427689"},{"teacherId":9562546,"projectId":9409482,"letterContent":"We can't thank you enough for your extremely generous donation of binders and binder tabs!

They have been able to organize and separate their Statistics & Probability notes chronologically. This means they are able to quickly find and reference notes and materials.\r\n\r\nBest, of all, students will be able to bring their binders with them to college next year. Many of my students will be taking a college Statistics & Probability course, and they will have their organized binders and notes to reference as they go.
