It's about accessing and knowing how to use tools that aid in comprehension. This will be a year-long project that is off to a great start thanks to the new tools and resources I was able to acquire because of generous donations.\r\n\r\nI was able to buy books, dictionaries, charts, and posters that will help us during each unit throughout the year. We have already put these amazing resources to work, as shown in the attached photos.\r\n\r\nWith Chromebooks as the only resource students have had and used for a few years, it has been thrilling to see my students get excited about books! And, it has been amazing to watch them use a dictionary with confidence. It is shocking for students to enter middle school having never used a dictionary...they think Google is the only dictionary until their battery dies or their Chromebook won't power on or the network is down. Their go-to for word meaning is now an old school dictionary and they LOVE it!\r\n\r\nThe posters and charts have been great additions as well. Students refer to them during class discussions and classwork. They are gaining confidence in their use of new vocabulary and explaining concepts; they are asking better questions; they are making connections that were often missed. I am very excited about their progress and look forward to a year of improvement.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for the impact you've already made on my students. While you will never meet them and never know them, please understand that their lives are already different, already better because of your generosity and your commitment to Science education. I am forever grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1785175300832,"projectUrl":"project/our-mission-earth-beyond/10364985/","projectTitle":"Our Mission: Earth & Beyond","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10544565_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783625105307","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pam-smith"},{"teacherId":5990841,"projectId":10091969,"letterContent":"As we begin a new school year, my students and I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of laptop chargers. While chargers may not seem like the most exciting classroom supply, they have quickly become some of our most valuable tools! Thanks to your kindness, our students can stay connected, engaged, and ready to learn without the all-too-familiar panic of seeing a battery percentage drop faster than a middle schooler's attention span.\r\n\r\nYour support removes a barrier that many students face and helps ensure that technology remains a resource for learning rather than a source of frustration. With dependable chargers available, students can focus on completing assignments, participating in lessons, and building the skills they need for future success. Simply put, you've helped keep our learning powered up and our classroom running smoothly.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of all of us, thank you for investing in our students and believing in their potential. Your generosity makes a meaningful difference every day, and we are incredibly grateful. Because of you, we can start this school year fully charged, ready to learn, and equipped for success!","fullyFundedDate":1772071929062,"projectUrl":"project/power-up-success/10091969/","projectTitle":"Power Up Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bischoff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5990841_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1548428490011","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/anne-bischoff"},{"teacherId":9718145,"projectId":9969415,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for allowing the space and opportunity for Tommy's Express and others to help fund the project.
