We immediately incorporated them into a hands-on learning project where students worked in small groups to explore, create, and share their ideas. For example, during our recent science unit, they used the materials to build models, test their predictions, and record their findings in colorful, engaging ways.\r\n\r\nThe very first moment they saw the materials, their faces lit up with curiosity and joy there were gasps, wide eyes, and lots of \"Can we use this today?!\" Their enthusiasm filled the room, and it was clear these resources made learning feel even more special and accessible.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, we're now diving deeper into our current project. The next step for my students is to take what they've learned and create a final presentation to share with classmates and families. This will not only help them solidify their understanding but also build confidence in communicating their ideas. Your support has made it possible for them to dream bigger and reach higher, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1734536299215,"projectUrl":"project/we-are-making-a-difference-one-class-at/8738077/","projectTitle":"We are making a difference one class at a time.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Allese","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9448207_orig.png?crop=458,459,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706214435604","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9448207"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_121910","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":54,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":41.7,"schoolId":121910,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about AppleTree @ Achievement Prep on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"AppleTree @ Achievement Prep","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/district-of-columbia/dc-public-schools/appletree-achievement-prep/121910"}
