I was able to create activities for the first two weeks and start the year running by being prepared with options and fun activities for my students. Even now, I get to dedicate some quiet time at home creating lessons that fall with in the curriculum I am using for Spanish and Leadership electives. It has given me such flexibility as a teacher. Both of my middle school electives have been completing some culture building activities in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1780887609708,"projectUrl":"project/summer-creations/10311857/","projectTitle":"Summer Creations!","teacherDisplayName":"Maestra Flores","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10520237"},{"teacherId":8882810,"projectId":9481839,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project. Because of your donation, we were able to purchase plant materials and give our students a hand-on opportunity to learn about plants growth and propagation.\r\n\r\nThis experience allowed students to observe living systems up close, practicing responsibility in caring for their plants, and discover the rewarding process of nurturing something from a cutting to a thrivng new plant. Many students took their plants home, proud to share their success with their families. Your contribution made that possible. \r\n\r\nWe are sincerely grateful for your belief in our classroom and in the importance of real, meaningful learning experiences.
