Students have navigated routines in which they know which crates to use for gathering materials that are brought to their table groups as well as lab materials that they bring to the group. Furthermore, by having small crates that contain lab materials, not only does this increase organization, but promotes safety in the movement of materials, and have contributed to ease of movement between classrooms as a cart teacher and even from teacher to teacher. The collaboration has not only occurred between students but also amongst educators as we collaborate to setup station rotations with the use of the materials.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, materials were used to support the development of models which have supported students growth mindset in regards to science engineering practices and crosscutting concepts. Students have successfully developed models while at the same time being able to assess the accuracy and the limitations of the models they have created. With the support made possible through the materials available for modeling, students were able to address areas that needed revision after receiving timely feedback, something that is not always possible if","fullyFundedDate":1723165638717,"projectUrl":"project/setting-students-for-successful-collabor/8567737/","projectTitle":"Setting Students for Successful Collaboration Practices","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Yajaira Fuentes-Tauber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9223389_orig.jpg?crop=320,320,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693191299391","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9223389"},{"teacherId":9240280,"projectId":8632428,"letterContent":"The books donated are for 9th graders in Teen Choices to explore substance abuse disorder.
