I work with high school aged kids, so they are really struggling with anxiety, self esteem, communications, and often time even depression. The work books help to navigate some of those feelings and skills. \r\n\r\nYour kindness does not go unappreciated!

Each item has already made a meaningful difference in how our students learn, work together, and express themselves.\r\n\r\nThe color printer has been a game-changer for student projects. Instead of handing in plain papers, students now proudly share colorful, polished presentations and reports. This has boosted their confidence and motivated them to put in extra effort, knowing their hard work can shine in full color. It has been wonderful to see students beam with pride when showing off their finished projects.\r\n\r\nThe cotton candy machine has brought more than just smiles—it has created real-world learning opportunities. Our student club is using it to raise funds, and in the process, they're gaining hands-on experience with responsibility, teamwork, and money management. From setting prices to handling transactions, students are learning valuable entrepreneurial skills while having fun. Some of our shyest members have stepped up as leaders during sales, showing just how much confidence this opportunity has given them.\r\n\r\nOur new Bluetooth speaker has brought energy and connection into the classroom. Whether it's playing background music to keep students focused, sharing audio during lessons, or using it to celebrate achievements, the speaker has increased engagement and enthusiasm. Students often ask if they can use it to share their own creative projects, making it a tool for both learning and self-expression.\r\n\r\nThe addition of new books has been especially exciting. These titles reflect diverse voices and stories, giving students the chance to see themselves in literature while also learning about experiences different from their own. Many students who were once reluctant readers have been drawn to these books, finding stories that truly resonate with them. It has been heartwarming to see students eagerly recommending books to their friends and starting conversations about what they're reading.\r\n\r\nWhat makes all of this so special is the way different students have connected to these resources. One student who used to avoid speaking in front of the class now volunteers proudly, presenting projects printed in color. Another, who had been quiet in group settings, has found a voice while helping to run the cotton candy sales. Meanwhile, our readers are discovering new perspectives through books they may not have found otherwise.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given our students more than just supplies—it has given them confidence, joy, and opportunities to grow in ways that will stay with them far beyond the classroom. We are deeply grateful for your support and for believing in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1746786300095,"projectUrl":"project/from-books-to-banquets-equipping-the-cl/9131036/","projectTitle":"From Books to Banquets: Equipping the Classroom for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Courmier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9564370_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736995630502","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-courmier"},{"teacherId":8374311,"projectId":8980977,"letterContent":"My students are observing specimens as we study nine of the phyla in the Animal Kingdom. When we started the unit on Phylum Cnidaria they thoroughly enjoyed seeing the jellyfish, sea anomies and coral in the specimen jars. Yuma Arizona is not close to the ocean so to be able to see the specimens close up is a treat. We get them out with each new phylum. The students were very excited when I opened the boxes, and they exclaimed over each one.\r\n My students are currently studying mammals in the phylum Chordata. We are looking at animal skins, skulls and tracks trying to identify different mammals and the characteristics/adaptations that help them survive. Once again, the specimen jars have been beneficial in introducing mammals and comparing them to other chordates in the specimen jars. \r\n My students and I cannot thank you enough for these supplies and the opportunities they provide.

The specimens have completely transformed our classroom, making science come alive in ways that textbooks never could. Instead of just reading about animal morphology and anatomy, students are now able to observe, touch, and analyze real specimens, deepening their understanding through hands-on exploration.\r\n\r\nOne of the most incredible moments was when I unveiled the specimens for the first time. The classroom erupted with excitement, curiosity, and endless questions. Many students were in awe, saying things like, \"I've never seen anything like this before!\" and \"It's like we have our own mini-zoo in class!\" The energy was contagious, and it was amazing to see their natural curiosity take over as they examined and compared different structures up close.\r\n\r\nWe recently completed a project where students observed, sketched, and analyzed key features of different specimens to understand adaptations in various environments. This sparked engaging discussions about evolution, ecosystems, and even careers in biology. Seeing their enthusiasm and engagement reaffirmed how impactful these materials are.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue exploring animal systems, connecting our observations to real-world applications. Many students have already expressed interest in researching different species and even creating models of animal adaptations based on what they've learned. Your contribution has opened up a world of discovery, and we are incredibly grateful for your support in making this possible!","fullyFundedDate":1739373544033,"projectUrl":"project/preserved-specimens-a-tool-to-enhance-c/8986339/","projectTitle":"Preserved Specimens: a Tool to Enhance Classroom Learning Experiences","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Varela","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8376965_orig.jpg?crop=1956,1956,x260,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647481503396","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8376965"},{"teacherId":3596181,"projectId":7586332,"letterContent":"Thank you for your incredible generosity!
