The new music stand have been extremely beneficial this year. I have a growing program. This means more students and new students for the spring semester. We used each and every stand for our winter performance, as I have multiple groups performing back to back. \r\n\r\nThe additional benefits are that I am able to get rid of the stands that need to be disposed of. I am also able to provide my students with stands during concerts and in class without needed to share. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for continuing to support music in schools!","fullyFundedDate":1755738328410,"projectUrl":"project/new-music-stands/9619510/","projectTitle":"New Music Stands!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Browne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8106126"},{"teacherId":8106126,"projectId":9619273,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation.

The tables have been painted to look like space, creating a fun learning space. The size of the tables allows us to change configurations from everyone facing the front to groups of 4-6 students. Students also have the ability to get up and move around the room to complete more active lessons.\r\n\r\nThe students that I had last year were so excited to see the new tables. We have even gotten compliments from the high school students that have come by.

They requested we open the boxes just like a youtuber doing an unboxing video. They were excited with every new item that came out of those boxes. The snacks, like fruit gummies and granola bars, were a big hit—especially during state testing. They helped students stay energized and focused through long testing sessions. It was a small but meaningful boost that made a big difference in their stamina and overall mood during a stressful time.\r\n\r\nIn class, the students dove right into using the red and green pens to review and revise their work. This simple tool gave them a visual way to reflect on their learning and correct mistakes, which really improved their understanding. They also used colorful markers to make their notes and assignments more visually engaging. It's amazing how a splash of color can make learning more fun and help students feel proud of their work.\r\n\r\nThe rulers became an unexpected favorite! Students used them to create neat, straight lines for graphic organizers and class charts—they're surprisingly particular about getting everything perfectly aligned. It's been wonderful to see them take ownership of their work with such care and precision. Next, we'll be using these tools as we move into new group projects that involve research, collaboration, and presenting their ideas creatively. Thanks to these resources, they're more engaged and confident than ever.","fullyFundedDate":1742236171630,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-young-scientists-curiosity/9146546/","projectTitle":"Fueling Young Scientists' Curiosity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9890360"},{"teacherId":9900334,"projectId":9067595,"letterContent":"My students and I were thrilled to receive the new resources for our classroom! From the moment I told them the items were on their way, there was a buzz of excitement and anticipation. When the resources finally arrived, students eagerly helped unpack everything, commenting on how the flair pens would make their future assignments and projects \"pop\" and how much easier it would be to keep their iPads charged during class. The addition of practical items like the hand sanitizer and magnetic marker holder also sparked conversation about how these small details help create a more organized and comfortable learning environment.\r\n\r\nWe're currently preparing for an upcoming science project where students will design their own food webs based on ecosystems of their choice. Using their iPads, they'll research specific animals and their roles as producers, consumers, and decomposers. They are especially excited to use the flair pens to color-code and personalize their food webs on small poster boards. Thanks to our donors, students not only feel more engaged and prepared, but they also see that others believe in their learning. The next steps involve diving deeper into ecological relationships and presenting their food webs to the class, fostering both scientific understanding and communication skills.","fullyFundedDate":1737954650667,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-curiosity-gadgets-gear-and-go/9067595/","projectTitle":"Fueling Curiosity: Gadgets, Gear, and Goodies for Science!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Serrato","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9900334"},{"teacherId":8040874,"projectId":9045187,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping me provide necessary items to my science classes.
