Because of you, my students now have tools that truly enhance how they learn and experience science every day.\r\n\r\nThe colorful markers and correcting pens have already helped keep our work organized and engaging, allowing students to focus on their thinking rather than confusion or clutter. The tennis balls on our stools have made our classroom noticeably quieter, creating a calmer space where students can discuss ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another without distraction. Plus, they're just cool. ; )\r\n\r\nThe voice amplifier has been especially impactful. It allows me to teach comfortably and ensures that every student—no matter where they are seated—can clearly hear instruction and participate fully. This has made our classroom more inclusive and supportive for all learners.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting additions has been the prepared microscope slides and the new microscope camera. Instead of taking turns guessing what others see, students can now explore incredible details together. Watching them react with excitement as tiny structures appear on the screen has been a powerful reminder of how curiosity drives learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my students feel like real scientists—observing, questioning, and discovering the world in meaningful ways. Thank you for investing in their curiosity and helping make learning both fun and powerful. Your support has made a lasting impact in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1756997541602,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-young-scientists-who-think/9619672/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Young Scientists Who Think Big","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Leduc","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2370345_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1502810180329","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/j-leduc"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58951","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":353,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":60.5,"schoolId":58951,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Putnam Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Putnam Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/putnam-public-schools/putnam-middle-school/58951"}
