Some of my students were familiar with Scholastic News from a previous year, but for many it has been a new way of. learning about past and current events. \r\n\r\nIn the most recent magazine they read, they learned about 9/11 for the very first time. The students weren't even born yet when 9/11 happened so it was completely eye opening to hear about such tragic events that happened in our country's history. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for helping them learn in such an engaging manner!","fullyFundedDate":1778283491436,"projectUrl":"project/a-bit-of-razzmatazz/10209047/","projectTitle":"A Bit of Razzmatazz","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kwan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1209838"},{"teacherId":304590,"projectId":10102142,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations! My students loved observing live insects to learn about life cycles. How many people get the experience of watching tiny turquoise eggs turn into little black caterpillars and watch them grow and transform into butterflies? It was a wonderful experience. Each student was able to observe their own two caterpillars grow and turn into chrysalises at their desks. I even had enough caterpillars to share with two other classes. They were able to observe the life cycle come full circle when the butterflies laid more turquoise eggs. \r\nMy students also had the experience of observing mealworms turn into pupas, and then into a darkling beetle. They were fascinated that the beetles were beige when they emerged from the pupa but soon turned to dark brown. The third insect we got to observe were ladybugs. They started off as tiny larvae that look nothing like a ladybug, turned into a pupa and then a ladybug. The ones we had were more of an orange color that red like we usually think of ladybugs. In fact, ladybugs can be a variety of different colors around the world. Thank you again for helping me give my students the chance to learn about life cycles by observing live insects.","fullyFundedDate":1772517205947,"projectUrl":"project/life-cycles-come-alive/10102142/","projectTitle":"Life Cycles Come Alive!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Valdez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp304590_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1511886917361","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/melissa-valdez"},{"teacherId":8562754,"projectId":9768071,"letterContent":"Writing is an important part of sharing experiences, fostering language, supporting social emotional development, and building confidence.

The students have learned so much from the informative articles. They recently read about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and were excited to be able to share what they learned with their family members when they went home. I really enjoy asking them the comprehension questions on the back because it teaches them to look back in the text to find the answer. They are all so eager to participate when asked to read aloud too. \r\n \r\n In addition the fidget toys will be part of incentives for the students. Whoever has the most table points at the end of the week get a reward. \r\n\r\nThank you for providing these amazing resources for the class.","fullyFundedDate":1760548261245,"projectUrl":"project/scholastic-news-and-sensory-toys/9803791/","projectTitle":"Scholastic News and Sensory Toys","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kwan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1209838"},{"teacherId":8562754,"projectId":9516484,"letterContent":"A huge thank you to all that contributed to this project!
