We were able to make over 100 posters about recent natural disasters. This is so impactful because anyone could face a natural disaster at any sparing moment. These students know how to stay safe in an event of disaster and can share their knowledge to protect others. Living in Florida, this knowledge is so important as we face hurricanes, flash flooding, rip-tides, rain droughts, wild fires, and more.\r\n\r\nStudents were also able to research recent volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, avalanches, and more, increasing their safety knowledge in these emergency scenarios too!\r\n\r\nSeeing the materials was a relief to my students because the worry of procrastinating and buying a poster-board last minute never needed to occur. Students had everything they needed in my classroom.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we shift out of earth science and begin physics! Look forward to hearing about racecar projects, physics in sports, and energy! Once, again, thank you so much for the support you give to our schools.","fullyFundedDate":1757423371000,"projectUrl":"project/natural-disaster-posters/9668155/","projectTitle":"Natural Disaster Posters","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Weiman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10057214_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750208746910","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10057214"},{"teacherId":3668900,"projectId":9345625,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation. One of the ways students started learning to see what they're drawing in a different way was to do a blind contour. They drew their hands without looking at the paper to begin. They then were each given a picture of a plant and did a blind contour that they transferred onto watercolor paper. They then learned about warm and cool colors by watercolor painting the plant a warm or cool color and then the background the opposite.\r\nThey were very excited to use paints after spending a bit of time with pencils and they are very proud to have their artwork displayed. I have attached some pictures of the projects.\r\nEach art project uses materials and materials cost money. I thank you so much for helping to fund our art classroom so the students can continue to learn about and use different art mediums.","fullyFundedDate":1750108103581,"projectUrl":"project/new-super-excited-middle-school-art-te/9345625/","projectTitle":"New (super excited) Middle School Art Teacher!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3668900_orig.jpg?crop=1790,1790,x18,y187&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761090499343","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3668900"},{"teacherId":2483016,"projectId":8887422,"letterContent":"On behalf of our students, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of books for our classroom to support our struggling readers.

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution to our classroom. Your support has made a significant impact on our students' learning experience.\r\n\r\nRecently, we received new resources that have been instrumental in teaching our students about food safety and proper temperatures. These materials have been incredibly beneficial, and our students are now more engaged and enthusiastic about learning these essential skills.\r\n\r\nOne specific project that stands out is our \"Safe Cooking Practices\" module. In this project, students learned about the importance of maintaining proper food temperatures to prevent foodborne illnesses. They practiced using thermometers to check the internal temperatures of various foods, ensuring they were cooked safely. This hands-on experience has been invaluable in helping them understand the real-world applications of what they are learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was palpable. They were eager to dive in and start using the tools provided. It was a joy to see their faces light up with curiosity and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nYour generous donation has given you a peek into our classroom, and I wanted to share more about our journey. The next steps for our students involve applying their newfound knowledge in a practical setting. We plan to organize a \"Healthy Cooking Day\" where students will prepare meals using the skills they have learned, ensuring all food is cooked to the proper temperatures and handled safely.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your support. Your contribution has made a lasting difference in our classroom, and we are incredibly grateful.\r\n\r\n\r\nWarm regards,","fullyFundedDate":1722955423711,"projectUrl":"project/wms-wildcat-culinary-arts-club/8492202/","projectTitle":"WMS Wildcat Culinary Arts Club","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Robinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9589203"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96112","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1040,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":62,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":51.9,"schoolId":96112,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Woodland Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Woodland Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/sarasota-county-school-district/woodland-middle-school/96112"}
