Because of your support, I was able to obtain enough kits so that every student can actively participate at the same time during lessons and activities. This has made an enormous difference when teaching concepts such as balancing chemical equations, where students need to build both reactants and products using many molecules.\r\n\r\nThese magnetic molecule kits provide students with a hands-on, visual representation of atoms and molecules that goes far beyond what can be learned from paper diagrams alone. Students are able to physically manipulate the atoms, observe how molecules rearrange during reactions, and better understand the invisible processes taking place in chemistry. Your donations have helped transform abstract concepts into meaningful learning experiences that engage students and improve comprehension.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these kits are durable resources that will be used for many years to come, benefiting countless Los Angeles students as they learn chemistry in a more interactive and memorable way.

Students have successfully used the magnetic molecules to demonstrate gas properties, build and rearrange molecules during chemical reactions, and better understand stoichiometry concepts such as combustion reactions and balancing chemical equations. By manipulating the models themselves, students are more actively engaged in the learning process and are able to make stronger connections between symbolic equations and real molecular interactions. These magnetic molecules are versatile resources that can be used across many chemistry topics throughout the year, making them an invaluable long-term investment for the classroom.

We are using the weighted soccer ball, portable net, and color-coded bibs to teach basic soccer skills such as kicking, aiming, and passing. One memorable moment was during a small-group activity where students practiced passing the ball to a peer and then taking turns shooting into the net. The slower pace of the ball allowed students more processing time, and the visual structure provided by the bibs helped them understand team roles, leading to increased participation and success.\r\n\r\nWhen students were first introduced to the materials, many showed excitement and curiosity. Students who are typically hesitant to engage in group activities were more willing to participate because the equipment felt manageable and predictable. It is nice to see my students smiling, waiting for their turn, and engaging in positive peer interactions. Some students independently initiate passes or celebrate a classmate's goal. We have been able to include other classes to participate in these positive activities. We will continue building on these foundational skills by increasing opportunities for teamwork, communication, and independence. Our next steps include supporting students in using verbal language or communication devices to request the ball, identify teammates, and follow simple game routines.

With these new texts, we have been able to target essential literacy skills such as identifying characters and main ideas, making connections to personal experiences, and building vocabulary in a way that feels engaging and relevant. For many of my students with diverse learning needs, having high-interest and accessible books has also supported foundational skills like using picture cues to support comprehension. These books have allowed me to differentiate instruction more effectively and provide multiple entry points for students at varying levels.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading now looks more interactive and student-centered. Students participate in small group and one-on-one reading activities where they can explore books that match their interests. We incorporate visuals, repeated readings, and discussion prompts to help students engage with the text. Some students use communication devices or sentence starters to share their thoughts, while others point to pictures or answer simple comprehension questions. The increased engagement has led to longer periods of focus and more meaningful participation during literacy time.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have shown noticeable growth and enthusiasm since receiving these books. One student who previously struggled to stay engaged during reading time now eagerly selects books about animals and independently flips through the pages, pointing out familiar images. Another student has begun using new vocabulary words from the National Geographic books during class discussions. These moments are significant, as they reflect both increased confidence and a deeper connection to learning. Your support has helped create a more inclusive and motivating reading environment where all students can experience success.","fullyFundedDate":1746785540566,"projectUrl":"project/reading-adventures-for-my-amazing-studen/9242077/","projectTitle":"Reading Adventures for My Amazing Students with Autism","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. C","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9824582_orig.jpg?crop=1284,1284,x0,y671&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730589609955","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9824582"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7490","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1356,"numTeachers":74,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":93,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":7490,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Woodrow Wilson Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Woodrow Wilson Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/woodrow-wilson-senior-high-school/7490"}
