In anatomy, the thing most kids look forward to the most are dissections. And I love teaching them - but only if we have all the supplies we need. The gloves were desperately needed - I think I was literally on my last box of large. But the best was the lab aprons. Gone are the 20 year old aprons I have stapled, glued, tied and fastened. They lasted a long time but thank goodness we have new ones. The kids were so excited they were new and each one could actually wear one. We have dissected pickles, chicken wings, and eyes so far this year and your donations have made this possible.

Sadly, few of my students have been given the opportunity to learn science by doing science. Thanks you for providing them this learning experience. Also, the gloves have been a life saver. We are restricted in doing many experiments without them. We have enough this year for several dissections.

I know that's not probably what most teachers write as amazing but in anatomy it is. Thank you for believing in my classroom.

Then, they were able to observe actual specimens of human epithelial tissues under the microscopes with the slides you purchased. In the end, they were such \"smarties\" they got \"smarties\" :) It was a HUGE hit.

Who would have thought that paper would ever be such a big need in classrooms? Yet, it is. Essentially, is the blood of the classroom. And not having enough paper is considered a crisis. Thank you for meeting this huge need. Paper is absolutely the number one thing I needed in my classroom for students to succeed. Asking them to do digital work or copy everything on notebook paper simply deprives them of opportunity. Opportunity to work in labs. Opportunity for collaborative modeling or for discussions and forums. \r\nThank you for meeting our critical need.
