As a teacher, my greatest wish is to provide my students with a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment where they feel supported, valued, and excited to learn. Thanks to these amazing donations, I have been able to provide essential classroom supplies and resources that help make that dream a reality. Every donation, no matter the size, has helped ease the burden of obtaining supplies and allowed me to focus more of my time and energy on what matters most: my students.\r\n\r\nBeyond the supplies themselves, these donations remind me that there are people in this world who believe in teachers, believe in children, and believe that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed. The resources provided through DonorsChoose help create a classroom where students can grow academically, feel emotionally supported, and find joy in learning. Knowing that others are willing to invest in my classroom and my students is incredibly encouraging and means more than words can express.\r\n\r\nTo every donor who has supported my classroom, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness reaches far beyond the items you provide; it touches the lives of the children who use them every day. You are helping me create meaningful experiences, remove barriers to learning, and give my students opportunities they might not otherwise have. I am so thankful to be part of a community that believes in making a difference, and I hope you know just how much your generosity means to me and the students whose lives you help brighten every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1786825762794,"projectUrl":"project/printing-possibilities-rewarding-succes/10445703/","projectTitle":"Printing Possibilities, Rewarding Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wasem","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8681783_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x160,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662494951342","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8681783"},{"teacherId":7187248,"projectId":9423926,"letterContent":"Thank you for funding my project.

The surprise and excitement on each of my students' faces when I opened the box was indescribable. \r\n\r\nMy students had the opportunity to learn about careers that use microscopes and handheld microscope lenses. Students learned that scientists in various fields ask questions, make predictions, and explore through lenses how the smallest things could be discovered to answer questions and offer more questions. \r\nMy students have also learned the parts of a microscope, how to use it, and investigated the new world out there while using a microscope. My students are looking forward to investigating plants, parts of insects, and so much more. Later in the school year, a Geologist will come to our class to share rocks and minerals, and the handheld lenses will expand the learning during this lesson. \r\nThank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to enrich students' learning and experience real-world situations in science.","fullyFundedDate":1752671496937,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-objects-too-small-to-see-with/9423926/","projectTitle":"Exploring Objects Too Small To See With The Naked Eye!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tag","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7187248"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60143","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":512,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":5,"percentLatinx":53,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":60.8,"schoolId":60143,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hohokam Elementary on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hohokam Elementary","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/scottsdale-unified-school-district/hohokam-elementary-school/60143"}
