The books you helped fund focused on Understanding by Design, effective lesson planning, and strategies for long-term retention. They have guided me in creating cohesive, engaging units that truly make learning stick.\r\n\r\nThese resources didn't just impact my own classroom; they shaped the instructional practices of every Biology teacher in our district. Using what I learned, I developed district-wide UbD unit plans that ensure consistency, rigor, and clarity for both teachers and students. The ripple effect has been incredible! Teachers, especially teachers new to the Biology classroom, feel more confident, lessons are more purposeful, and students are demonstrating a deeper understanding of science concepts.\r\n\r\nWhile I can't share student photos for privacy reasons, please know that your contribution has touched hundreds of students through every teacher who now plans with intention and alignment. Thank you for investing not only in my professional growth, but also in the quality of science education across an entire district. Because of you, our lessons finally click, and they stick.","fullyFundedDate":1747840275601,"projectUrl":"project/this-finally-clicks-planning-lessons/9348436/","projectTitle":"“This Finally Clicks!”: Planning Lessons That Stick","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Osler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8831929_orig.jpg?crop=985,985,x192,y188&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1672336268772","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-osler"},{"teacherId":3461593,"projectId":9378402,"letterContent":"Our Social Media Club is thriving thanks to your generosity!

The headphones and charging stations you helped provide have already made a big impact in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been a total game changer. Many of my students don't have their own, and we use them often for educational videos. Now, everyone can hear clearly, focus without distractions, and move through the content at their own pace. It's especially helpful for students who benefit from pausing, rewinding, or using captions. The content is just more accessible for everyone.\r\n\r\nThe charging stations have also been a huge help. Before, students had to leave their seats and sit on the floor or along the wall just to find an outlet. It was disruptive and uncomfortable. Now, they can stay at their desks and keep learning while their devices charge. It's a small change that's made a big difference in keeping our class running smoothly.\r\n\r\nWhat's most exciting is seeing how much more confident and independent the students feel. They love having access to what they need without having to ask or move around the room. Your support has helped us create a more comfortable and focused learning environment, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1745846998773,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-student-learning-with-headphon/9192126/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Student Learning with Headphones and Charging Stations","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Osler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8831929_orig.jpg?crop=985,985,x192,y188&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1672336268772","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-osler"},{"teacherId":5443476,"projectId":9141118,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our project, \"Healthy Hands, Focused Minds: Keep Our Classroom Clean!\" The arrival of tissues, disinfectant wipes, and room sanitizing spray made an immediate and noticeable difference in our classroom environment.

It was a moment of pride for all of us to have the tools we need to keep our learning space healthy and inviting.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these supplies, we've been able to implement daily cleaning routines as part of our class responsibilities. Students rotate tasks—wiping down desks, sanitizing shared materials, and making sure tissues are stocked—helping them take ownership of their space. There are fewer interruptions from sniffles and messy work areas meant more focus and collaboration. One student even said, \"I feel like I can think better when everything is clean!\"\r\n\r\nYour support did more than provide supplies—it helped foster responsibility, respect for shared spaces, and an understanding of the importance of hygiene.
