My students were thrilled to learn in the beginning of the year that they didn't need to purchase these materials on their own, particularly given the economic circumstances of most of my students. These materials got us off to a quick, organized start in the beginning of the year!\r\n\r\nUsing these materials has kept my students extremely organized throughout the year. They have been able to organize and separate their Statistics & Probability notes chronologically. This means they are able to quickly find and reference notes and materials.\r\n\r\nBest, of all, students will be able to bring their binders with them to college next year. Many of my students will be taking a college Statistics & Probability course, and they will have their organized binders and notes to reference as they go. This is also an excellent model of organization skills that they can carry with them after high school.\r\n\r\nThank you again so much for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1753811058108,"projectUrl":"project/staying-organized-in-statistics/9409482/","projectTitle":"Staying Organized in Statistics","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sherman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9562546_orig.jpg?crop=2841,2841,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749676188815","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9562546"},{"teacherId":9519976,"projectId":9343338,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our hydroponics project! The AeroGarden systems and seed kits have brought so much joy to my students already. They were so excited when they arrived, and as a class, we immediately dove into choosing which seeds to plant first. Watching the plants grow has sparked a real interest in botany and gardening, and it's been amazing to see their curiosity flourish. Students now excitedly ask if they can check on the plants before class to see there progress. \r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we'll be experimenting with different growing conditions and tracking the plants' growth. As the herbs and veggies grow, we plan to share them with other classes. This project is giving students a hands-on way to explore science, healthy eating, and sustainability.

The Post-it Wall Pads and Post-it Greener Notes have become vital tools for capturing students' thoughts, opinions, and beliefs during lively science discussions. I recall a recent lesson where students used the Post-its to brainstorm ideas about ecosystems, then organized their notes on the easel pads to visualize connections and patterns. This hands-on approach sparked deeper conversations and helped every student feel heard and valued.\r\n\r\nThe bulk pack of half pencils has also been a game-changer, ensuring that every student has a reliable writing tool for quick note-taking and sketching scientific observations. When the materials first arrived, the students were excited to see the bright and colorful Post-its and appreciated having plenty of pencils ready to use. As we move forward, these supplies will continue to support collaborative projects and inquiry-based learning, empowering students to think critically and communicate clearly in our upcoming unit on environmental science.

The Crayola Broad Line Washable Markers and colored pencils have quickly become favorites among students, who are eager to use them for creative projects and colorful assignments. Recently, the class worked on a collaborative poster project where each student contributed vibrant drawings and ideas on the large poster boards. The trays have helped us keep all art supplies organized and accessible, which encourages independence and smooth transitions during activities.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the fresh supplies, their faces lit up with enthusiasm and pride. Having quality materials not only boosts their creativity but also motivates them to take ownership of their work and express themselves confidently. The kitchen roll paper towels have been a big help in keeping our workspace clean and tidy, allowing us to focus more on learning and less on mess.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will support a range of upcoming lessons—from science diagrams to storytelling illustrations—helping students deepen their understanding through hands-on, artistic expression.

With the new safety goggles, students can fully engage in hands-on experiments like our recent owl pellet lab without worry. I vividly remember the moment when the students first saw the goggles and lab materials—they were thrilled and immediately eager to dive into the investigation. Having proper safety equipment gave them confidence to explore, ask questions, and handle specimens carefully, which enriched their learning experience tremendously.\r\n\r\nThe Clorox wipes have also been invaluable in maintaining a clean and safe workspace, allowing us to quickly and effectively sanitize between experiments. This has helped instill in students the importance of lab safety and responsibility. Moving forward, we are excited to build on this momentum with upcoming lessons on ecosystems and biology, where students will continue to use these resources to conduct more complex investigations.

The moment I unpacked the games, my students' faces lit up with excitement. Several immediately asked, \"Can we play now?\" and we quickly organized our first brain break session. These games have become a regular part of our class routines—used during structured breaks, indoor lunch, and even as rewards for collaborative work.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been powerful. Games like Uno, Jenga, and Connect 4 have helped students strengthen their social skills, practice patience, and learn how to communicate respectfully, all while having fun. They've also given students a chance to reset during stressful days and build friendships across different groups. For one of our recent lessons on observation and strategy in science, we even used game play to talk about decision-making and predicting outcomes.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're planning to integrate some of these games into learning centers and collaborative review days, using play as a pathway to deeper learning.

From the moment I handed out the new materials, the energy in the room was electric. Students were excited to label their dividers, color-code their subjects, and personalize their binders. One student said, \"I finally feel like I can keep up with everything!\" and that moment alone made this project worth it.\r\n\r\nWe've already put the binders to great use in a recent science unit. Students used the binder sections to organize lab reports, vocabulary sheets, and reflections. During our latest project on ecosystems, they were able to flip back through their notes and reference earlier work with ease. It's clear that the structure and organization provided by these binders are helping my students focus more on learning and less on keeping track of papers.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're about to start a long-term interdisciplinary project that will span multiple subjects. The binders will play a key role in helping students maintain a portfolio of their work, reflect on their growth, and prepare for student-led conferences.
