We've been using the new materials during collaborative investigations where students design, build, test, and revise their ideas together. One memorable moment was watching small groups problem-solve and excitedly explain their thinking to one another as they tested their models—students who are usually quiet were confidently sharing ideas and asking thoughtful questions.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students' reactions said it all. Their eyes lit up with excitement, and the classroom buzzed with curiosity. Several students immediately asked, \"When can we use these?\" and \"What are we building first?\" Seeing their enthusiasm reminded me how powerful it is when students feel trusted with real tools and resources that make learning feel authentic and engaging.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my students are now moving forward with deeper investigations tied to our current science unit. They are applying concepts we've learned in class to real-world challenges, strengthening their critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills. Your contribution didn't just provide supplies—it created opportunities for confidence, creativity, and a genuine love of learning. Thank you for giving my students an experience they will remember and build on for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1755708483168,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-science-to-life-hands-on-tools/9553494/","projectTitle":"Bringing Science to Life: Hands-On Tools for Innovation and Discovery","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Calvadores","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9218624_orig.jpg?crop=600,600,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692995960275","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9218624"},{"teacherId":10008828,"projectId":9550517,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of The Political Theory of the American Founding, Understandable Economics, and Personal Finance 101.

Your contribution brought more than just materials into our classroom—it brought excitement, curiosity, and hands-on opportunities that have made science come alive for my students.\r\n\r\nThe day the supplies arrived, my students were buzzing with excitement. We had just started a lesson on forces and motion, and when they saw the ramps, magnets, batteries, and measuring tools, their imaginations took off. These weren't just abstract ideas anymore—they could experiment, build, and truly engage with the concepts.\r\n\r\nOne moment that really stood out was when a small group worked on testing how the angle of a ramp affects acceleration. They were fully engaged—measuring, timing, adjusting—and one student who's usually shy suddenly said, \"I think I figured out the pattern\" And he was right. That spark of discovery and confidence is exactly what I hope for as a science teacher.\r\n\r\nRight now, students are using the materials for an engineering design project. They are building water filters and wind-powered vehicles to solve real-world problems. They're learning to test their ideas, make improvements, and present their work with pride. Most importantly, they are seeing themselves as scientists and problem solvers.\r\n\r\nNext, they will reflect on what they learned and how they can improve their designs. These critical thinking skills are powerful and will serve them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour kindness made all this possible. Thank you for investing in my students and helping me create meaningful, hands-on learning experiences they'll never forget.","fullyFundedDate":1695471282703,"projectUrl":"project/beyond-learning-exploring-science-at-it/7866991/","projectTitle":"Beyond Learning: Exploring Science at Its Best!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Calvadores","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9218624_orig.jpg?crop=600,600,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692995960275","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9218624"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43333","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":107,"numTeachers":8,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":0.0,"schoolId":43333,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Julesburg Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Julesburg Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/julesburg-school-dist-re-1/julesburg-junior-senior-high-school/43333"}
