This has helped with focus in the classroom and connecting content with what students are most interested in doing and learning. \r\n\r\nMy students and I have used the thermometers to measure temperature of water to learn about conduction, convection, and radiation and energy transfer. We have used the rulers to create posters of ecosystems and atoms/elements to wrap up Unit 2, applying vocabulary words to a creative project, and on our scavenger hunt around the outside of the school. We have used the whiteboards to play Jeopardy to review before our tests!\r\n\r\nMy students were very excited and grateful to learn that you all had chosen to send materials to the classroom. Now that my chemistry students understand the structure of atoms, we will begin to discuss compounds and use the molecule kit in Unit 3. Thank you for being a supporter of education and the future of our young people!","fullyFundedDate":1787016623978,"projectUrl":"project/science-lab-essentials-modeling-and-mea/10501199/","projectTitle":"Science Lab Essentials: Modeling and Measurement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Macy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10573956"},{"teacherId":9212226,"projectId":9546043,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for supporting my project. As a veteran teacher, I have learned through experience how simple items and trinkets can sometimes provide the most lasting impact. Working with Diverse Learners for the vast majority of my academic career has helped me identify materials that can provide the most comfort within the classroom, and your funding helped me in supporting those needs. Between the stickers, the various fidgets, and general supplies, my students immediately made use of the materials to help them remain engaged while trying to manage the stress and anxiety that often comes with classroom instruction. \r\n\r\nThe materials you helped provide were immediately put to good use, as students grabbed their favorite items to suit their personal preferences. The stickers were quickly sorted and picked through to decorate personal folders and other materials. The item most appreciated, however, was the bracelets. Several students were quick to identify one, two, or more that they wanted to place around their wrists, signifying a personal statement and/or feeling they had for themselves.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your contribution, and I hope you consider supporting additional programs going forward.","fullyFundedDate":1757356181935,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-and-classroom-supplies-for-diver/9546043/","projectTitle":"Sensory and Classroom Supplies for Diverse Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. McNamara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9212226"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5390","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":307,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":94,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.8,"schoolId":5390,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Perspectives Charter School - Joslin on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Perspectives Charter School - Joslin","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/perspectives-charter-schools/perspectives-charter-school-rodney-d-joslin-campus/5390"}
