The Power Strip Tower Surge Protector, the Unitek USB-C Charging Station, and the Logitech Wireless Presenter may seem like simple tools, but they have dramatically improved the way my students learn and how I teach every day. These resources have reduced stress, increased engagement, and created a smoother flow during lessons, especially in a science classroom where technology plays a key role in demonstrations, research, and interactive presentations.\r\n\r\nMany of our donors use technology daily but may not see how deeply it impacts a modern classroom. One of the most important benefits of the new charging station and power tower is that students now have consistent access to technology without interruptions. Before this project, students often struggled with dead tablets or Chromebooks, which slowed down lessons and discouraged participation. Now, students confidently plug in their devices the moment they enter the room. They know exactly where to charge, the cords are organized, and there is enough space for everyone—no more waiting turns or searching for an outlet behind furniture. As a result, students are more prepared and more eager to engage in our digital science activities, research tasks, and interactive simulations.\r\n\r\nThe new technology has also made group work more efficient. Students working on shared projects—like creating digital posters, recording video explanations, or conducting research—can keep their devices powered throughout the entire class period. This continuity has improved the quality of their work because they no longer lose progress due to low battery or device shutdowns. Several students mentioned that having reliable charging made them \"feel less stressed\" about completing assignments.\r\n\r\nThe Logitech Wireless Presenter has been a game-changer for me as a teacher. Instead of being anchored to my laptop during slideshows, demonstrations, or lab introductions, I can now move freely around the room. This flexibility helps me check on students, manage behavior, answer questions, and facilitate discussions more effectively. Students have noticed this change as well—many commented that they feel more connected during lessons because I can stand closer to them, point to examples, and interact naturally while still controlling the presentation. This has made learning feel more dynamic and student-centered.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students has been the charging station. They love the \"tech hub\" we created—a clean, organized space dedicated to powering their devices. It has become a daily routine to station their Chromebooks there, and they take pride in keeping the area tidy and functioning smoothly. One student who often forgot his charger at home said, \"This is the best thing ever—I don't panic anymore.\" Another student, who typically struggles staying engaged, has shown noticeable improvement now that her device stays charged, allowing her to participate fully in interactive lessons.\r\n\r\nThis project has truly strengthened our classroom community. Your generosity has provided more than just equipment—you've given my students consistency, confidence, and access to the tools they need to succeed. Thank you for making our learning environment more supportive, efficient, and empowering every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1757540054914,"projectUrl":"project/tech-tools-for-focused-connected-learni/9680926/","projectTitle":"Tech Tools for Focused, Connected Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9706722_orig.jpg?crop=450,450,x491,y962&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724629428143","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9706722"},{"teacherId":9706722,"projectId":9712086,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my classroom has become a more vibrant, creative, and engaging learning environment. The new papers and coloring materials may seem like simple supplies, but for my students, they have opened doors to deeper understanding, self-expression, and hands-on learning that goes far beyond what we could accomplish before. These resources have enriched our daily lessons, and the positive impact is visible in everything from student participation to the pride they take in their work.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the neatly organized bins filled with crisp construction paper, colored pencils, markers, and crayons, their reactions were priceless. Several students immediately asked, \"Are these really for us?\" One student held a pack of coloring pencils like it was the most precious thing she had ever seen and said, \"We can finally make our projects look nice!\" Many of my students don't always have access to high-quality coloring materials at home, so seeing these brand-new supplies brought genuine excitement and gratitude to our classroom. Their faces lit up with possibilities, and that excitement has carried over into their work.\r\n\r\nWe've already used the new materials for several science activities. One of the most memorable moments was during our recent lesson on the layers of the Earth. Instead of simply labeling a diagram in a textbook, students used colored paper and markers to create their own cross-section models. They chose colors to represent the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core, and many added shading, textures, and creative labels. The results were incredible—not just visually appealing, but impressively accurate and detailed. Students proudly shared their work, and even those who typically struggle to stay focused were fully engaged. One student who usually hesitates to participate called me over and said, \"Look, I made mine 3D!\" while layering pieces of colored paper to show depth. It was a moment where creativity and academic understanding blended beautifully.\r\n\r\nThe supplies have also made a big difference in everyday activities. Whether students are creating diagrams, illustrating vocabulary, designing posters, or adding visuals to their science notebooks, the quality of their work has improved noticeably. They put more care into their projects, communicate ideas more clearly, and feel ownership over their learning. Having enough materials for everyone has also reduced stress and boosted collaboration—students willingly share, help one another choose colors, and compliment each other's work.\r\n\r\nAs for next steps, these resources will continue to play a central role in our upcoming units. Students will soon begin a project illustrating the life cycle of a star and another one comparing types of cells through labeled, colored models. The coloring materials will help them deepen understanding by creating diagrams and visual explanations that reflect both accuracy and creativity. Additionally, we'll be using the paper supplies for interactive notebooks, anchor charts, review games, and end-of-unit portfolio showcases.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made a tremendous difference. Because of you, my students have the materials they need to express their learning in meaningful, colorful ways. You have brought joy, creativity, and confidence into our classroom, and we are truly grateful for your kindness and support.","fullyFundedDate":1758757673317,"projectUrl":"project/power-paper-and-precision-gearing-up/9712086/","projectTitle":"Power, Paper, and Precision: Gearing Up for Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9706722_orig.jpg?crop=450,450,x491,y962&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724629428143","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9706722"},{"teacherId":9706722,"projectId":9753416,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has been filled with excitement, curiosity, and hands-on discovery. The new Sun–Moon–Earth model, plant and animal cell models, and Wooden Calendar Blocks have quickly become essential tools in our daily lessons. These resources have transformed abstract ideas into concrete, interactive experiences that help students build stronger understanding and enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their reactions were priceless. Many gathered around the boxes even before I finished unpacking, whispering eagerly about what each item might be used for. One student gasped when she saw the Sun–Moon–Earth model, saying, \"We can actually see how they move?!\" Another proudly held up the animal cell model and exclaimed, \"This looks like the diagrams—only way cooler!\" Their excitement set the tone for lessons that followed, and several students who usually remain quiet became more engaged simply because the materials were visually appealing and hands-on.\r\n\r\nThe Sun–Moon–Earth model has been incredibly powerful in helping students understand complex concepts like rotation, revolution, shadows, phases of the moon, and seasons. Instead of relying solely on diagrams, students physically move the components, watching how changes in position affect what we see from Earth. One memorable moment occurred during a lesson on moon phases. As students rotated the moon around Earth, they suddenly realized why we always see the same side of the moon. You could actually hear the \"Ohhh!\" ripple across the room. That moment—when confusion turned into clarity—was possible because of your generosity.\r\n\r\nOur plant and animal cell models have also been invaluable. Students can touch, compare, and examine the organelles up close, which has helped them grasp functions and structures much more effectively. During a recent assignment, students worked in groups to identify each organelle, match it to its function, and explain why each structure is important for the cell's survival. The enthusiasm was incredible—students debated, pointed to parts, and taught one another with confidence. One student who often struggles with reading comprehension was able to participate fully because the 3D visuals made the learning accessible.\r\n\r\nThe Wooden Calendar Blocks have become a daily routine tool that builds responsibility and time awareness. Each morning, a different student leads the calendar update, choosing the date, month, and day of the week. This simple routine has strengthened organization skills and classroom community. Students love the sense of ownership it gives them.\r\n\r\nAs for next steps, we will continue using these resources throughout our upcoming units. Students will soon begin a project where they track moon phases over several weeks, using the Sun–Moon–Earth model as a reference tool. In our cell biology unit, students will create their own 3D cell models after studying the provided ones, using household materials to demonstrate organelle functions creatively. The calendar will remain part of our daily routine, helping students stay grounded and structured.\r\n\r\nYour donation has enriched our classroom in countless ways. Because of you, learning has become more interactive, engaging, and memorable. My students feel inspired, supported, and excited to explore science every day. Thank you for bringing these meaningful experiences into our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758833495615,"projectUrl":"project/science-in-action-time-in-view/9753416/","projectTitle":"Science in Action & Time in View!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9706722_orig.jpg?crop=450,450,x491,y962&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724629428143","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9706722"},{"teacherId":9706722,"projectId":9760265,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our classroom has transformed into a more interactive, engaging, and student-centered learning space. The new whiteboards have quickly become one of the most valuable tools in our daily lessons, and the impact on my students has been immediate and remarkable. These whiteboards are not just surfaces to write on—they are platforms for collaboration, creativity, and deeper understanding.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment my students saw the stack of brand-new whiteboards, the room filled with excitement. Several students rushed to ask if they could use them right away. One student exclaimed, \"We each get our own?!\" while another said, \"Now I can actually show my work without being scared of messing up!\" Their faces lit up with enthusiasm, and many of them carefully inspected their boards like prized possessions. For students who often struggle with confidence, these clean, fresh tools felt like a fresh start—an opportunity to try, erase, try again, and succeed.\r\n\r\nSince their arrival, the whiteboards have become central to our science lessons. One specific moment stands out from a recent lesson on energy transfer. I gave students a challenge question asking them to draw and label how conduction, convection, and radiation occur in everyday situations. Instead of being quiet and hesitant, the class buzzed with discussion. Students were sketching boiling pots, sunlight hitting the Earth, microwaves heating food, and even heat traveling through metal spoons. They were eager to share, erase, improve, and present their diagrams. When we did a gallery walk using the whiteboards, students proudly displayed their work like mini scientists presenting at a conference. The level of engagement, confidence, and accuracy they showed was far beyond what I typically see on paper alone.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards have also improved classroom efficiency and overall learning. I can quickly check understanding by asking students to hold up their boards, allowing me to adjust instruction on the spot. Students who are usually quiet have been participating more because writing on a whiteboard feels less intimidating than speaking out loud or submitting written work. They also enjoy working in pairs or small groups, huddled around their boards, solving problems together.\r\n\r\nAs for next steps, these whiteboards will continue to support our current and upcoming science units. We are about to begin a hands-on project where students will create visual models of the water cycle, types of forces, and the structure of atoms. The boards will be used as brainstorming spaces, drafting areas, and quick-check tools to help students revise their ideas before transferring them into final projects. They will also be part of our interactive review games, lab reflections, and small-group problem-solving sessions throughout the year.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made a tremendous difference in how my students learn. Because of you, they have tools that help them think more deeply, participate more enthusiastically, and collaborate more confidently. Thank you for giving my students the resources to explore, create, and excel every single day. Your generosity is shaping their learning in meaningful and lasting ways.","fullyFundedDate":1761918780456,"projectUrl":"project/whiteboards-and-manipulatives-for-active/9760265/","projectTitle":"Whiteboards and Manipulatives for Active Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9706722_orig.jpg?crop=450,450,x491,y962&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724629428143","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9706722"},{"teacherId":9706722,"projectId":9712046,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our classroom has taken a meaningful step forward in creating a more supportive, efficient, and engaging learning environment. The addition of a microwave and refrigerator may seem simple, but for my students, these resources have had a powerful impact on their daily school experience. They are not just appliances—they are tools that help meet basic needs, reduce stress, and create a sense of community and care within our classroom.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment my students saw the new microwave and fridge, their faces absolutely lit up. Several of them were genuinely surprised that someone from far away—someone they may never meet—cared enough to help improve their day-to-day school life. One student excitedly said, \"Now I can finally bring leftovers!\" Another shared that her family often sends her to school with food that needs reheating, and she usually ends up eating it cold. Being able to warm her lunch now makes her feel \"more at home\" during the school day. These might sound like small things, but in a middle school setting, comfort and security go a long way in helping students focus and feel motivated.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the refrigerator, students have begun bringing healthier lunches and snacks—fresh fruit, yogurt, sandwiches, even homemade meals that connect them to their families' cultures and traditions. The microwave has become especially helpful for students who rely on warm meals to stay energized throughout the day. Many of them have early bus rides or busy mornings, and having the option to heat their food has been a game changer.\r\n\r\nOne specific moment that stands out happened during a science review activity last week. A student who normally gets distracted easily stayed focused and engaged because he wasn't hungry or worried about lunchtime. He had stored his food in the fridge earlier that morning and knew he'd be able to warm it up later. It was a small but deeply meaningful reminder that meeting students' basic needs can dramatically influence their academic behavior and confidence.\r\n\r\nAs for next steps, we're integrating these new resources into our classroom routines in thoughtful and structured ways. Students are now practicing responsibility by keeping the fridge organized and clean, labeling their items, and taking turns using the microwave safely. This has naturally transitioned into a mini-lesson on real-life skills—food safety, heat energy (which ties beautifully into our science curriculum), and personal accountability.\r\n\r\nIn our current science unit on energy transfer, students will soon begin a hands-on project exploring conduction, convection, and radiation. The microwave has become an unexpected but effective conversation starter for understanding how heat energy moves. Students are already asking questions like, \"Does the microwave use conduction?\" or \"Where does the heat come from?\" These moments show just how naturally learning grows when students feel comfortable and supported.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide appliances—it provided dignity, comfort, and opportunity. Thank you for giving my students a classroom where they feel cared for, valued, and ready to learn. Your kindness is making a real difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1758757673109,"projectUrl":"project/lab-life-essentials-keeping-science-fre/9712046/","projectTitle":"Lab Life Essentials: Keeping Science Fresh and Functional","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9706722_orig.jpg?crop=450,450,x491,y962&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724629428143","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9706722"},{"teacherId":9706722,"projectId":9712060,"letterContent":"Thanks to the generous support of our donors, including Ripple, our classroom has been transformed in ways that have made a real difference for my students. The new resources have allowed us to engage more deeply with science concepts and explore topics in ways that were not possible before. One of the most exciting moments came when we first introduced the new materials: the students were immediately curious and energized. When they saw the audio technology and creative supplies, their eyes lit up, and they could not wait to explore them. It was clear that these tools sparked their excitement for learning and helped create a sense of ownership over their projects.\r\n\r\nOne specific example of how we are using these resources is during a hands-on science project about sound waves and vibrations. Previously, explaining concepts like frequency and amplitude was abstract and challenging for many students. With the new audio tools, students could hear subtle differences in sound and see real-time demonstrations, which made the concepts tangible. Students worked in small groups to experiment with different materials and instruments, recording their observations and sharing findings with the class. I noticed that students who usually hesitate to participate were suddenly more confident because they could rely on the clear audio and visual demonstrations to guide their learning. The creative materials allowed students to design their own experiments and illustrate their findings in unique ways, which encouraged collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving.\r\n\r\nAnother memorable moment was during our \"Rewarding Excellence\" initiative, which was made possible by these materials. When students were recognized for completing tasks with care or for contributing thoughtfully to discussions, they were thrilled. This recognition fostered a positive classroom environment where effort and creativity were celebrated, motivating students to continue working hard and engaging fully in their lessons. The combination of tangible resources and positive reinforcement created a classroom culture where learning became both meaningful and fun.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the next steps for our students involve building on their current projects by applying what they have learned to more complex experiments. For example, after mastering the basics of sound waves, students will design experiments to test how sound travels through different materials, predict outcomes, and present their results to the class. They will also have opportunities to create models and visual presentations that demonstrate their understanding. The resources provided by this project will continue to support these activities, ensuring that all students can participate fully and confidently.\r\n\r\nThis project has not only enhanced the way I teach but has also empowered students to take a more active role in their learning. Ripple's support and the contributions of other donors have brought our lessons to life, making abstract concepts concrete and inspiring curiosity and creativity. By providing these tools, you have given my students the ability to explore, experiment, and achieve in ways that will leave a lasting impact on their education. I am incredibly grateful for this support and excited to see the continued growth and enthusiasm of my students as they move forward in their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1758757672020,"projectUrl":"project/science-made-visible-shelves-charts-a/9712060/","projectTitle":"Science Made Visible: Shelves, Charts, and Tools for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9706722_orig.jpg?crop=450,450,x491,y962&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724629428143","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9706722"},{"teacherId":5422171,"projectId":9328688,"letterContent":"My students were curious about why I had so many whiteboards!
