We have been using the new resources daily during hands-on lessons, small group activities, and guided practice. One moment that stood out was during a recent lab activity when every student was able to actively engage at the same time instead of waiting to share limited supplies. The increased participation led to deeper discussions, stronger collaboration, and greater confidence in their understanding.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their excitement was immediate. Several students were able to focus on classwork with the provided sensory fidgets available. Having enough supplies for everyone created a sense of ownership and pride in our classroom. Instead of focusing on what we were missing, we were able to focus entirely on learning.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue using these resources to build on current lessons and expand into more hands-on projects that strengthen critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our next steps include applying these tools to upcoming units where students will design investigations, analyze results, and collaborate on group challenges. Your support has not only provided materials—it has opened the door for richer, more engaging learning experiences. Thank you for making that possible for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1769178033963,"projectUrl":"project/reducing-ouches/10024843/","projectTitle":"Reducing Ouches","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wood","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10405025_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768593262965","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/miss-wood-49"},{"teacherId":10374916,"projectId":9945707,"letterContent":"Ninety Chromebook chargers and 14 cellphone cases have been delivered to the teacher at Fairfield High School because of YOU!

It has also allowed me to design engaging library programs and create promotional materials that help more students connect to our resources.\r\n\r\nThis project has truly elevated my practice.
