We have already completed 1 of our projects and have just started the second. Students used our science newspapers to learn all about how organisms are connected in ecosystems. Then we were able to bring it to life by dissecting owl pellets right in our classrooms. Students were excited and a little grossed out! It made for a memorable lessons and helped them to see the food chain in action. \r\n\r\nWe have since started learning about the earth and will be learning about volcanoes. They can't wait to bring out our volcano kits and start exploring how volcanoes are formed and what happens when they erupt!\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous donations and for helping bring science to life for our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1748020823950,"projectUrl":"project/science-explorers/9080299/","projectTitle":"Science Explorers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4806148_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x298,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1595455043643","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/elizabeth-sanchez"},{"teacherId":7665209,"projectId":9130154,"letterContent":"I would like to thank the generous donors for funding our Tree Bookshelf project!

My students now have the option to listen to a book while following along.

The puppets are an incredible tool to use with my emotionally disabled students.\r\n It is incredible to see the motivation and excitement with my students when we begin to work with puppets. It shows that given the right tools, anyone no matter what, is able to be creative.\r\n One of my students has become a great story teller with the puppets. He knows how to develop characters and can come up with the beginning, middle, and end of a storyline. Academics are incredibly difficult for him, but I have seen him build confidence, creativity, and a spark that I hope can flow into other areas of his life.\r\n I honestly didn't know how this would work with this group, but they are able to improvise scenes and understand lip-synching now. From my youngest to the oldest, they all have shown such growth.","fullyFundedDate":1746472630145,"projectUrl":"project/improvising-and-singing-with-puppets-wit/9274939/","projectTitle":"Improvising and Singing with Puppets with the Emotionally Disabled","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Law","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7868943_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745278853388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pete-law"},{"teacherId":7868943,"projectId":9242386,"letterContent":"I am so grateful to you all for donating for this project. I have so many resources for my students. \r\n\r\n They were so excited to see all the books on display in my classroom. I allowed them to look at the books when we had a few minutes of free time. Many of them had no idea who some of the entertainers were which made me excited. I knew they were hungry for more information on them.\r\n\r\n Now that school is in session, I have begun my lessons for my students K-6. We began with William Shakespeare last week. I gave them the biography of him. I also gave them the importance of him as the founder of entertainment and that without him we wouldn't have Broadway, plays, maybe even movies and tv. We also watched a clip of the movie Hamlet and tied it to The Lion King. Students were excited and wanted to know more about Shakespeare. This made the project so much more meaningful!","fullyFundedDate":1745328114803,"projectUrl":"project/dream-big-with-performing-arts-biographi/9242386/","projectTitle":"Dream Big with Performing Arts Biographies","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Law","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7868943_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745278853388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pete-law"},{"teacherId":4806148,"projectId":8176804,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supplying my students with whiteboards that we have used every single day since they have arrived!

Our new journals have been an amazing asset. It has helped to make our writing time organized with our new journals.

We used these to practice the comprehension skills we have been learning all year. We learned about new vocabulary. We got to explore New York. We got to go on an adventure with a little mouse named Stuart! We had so much fun! \r\n By giving our students the opportunity to do novel studies, we are helping students love learning. The biggest impact I see in my classroom when we do novel studies is growing the students love of reading. Students see how reading takes us on adventures and to places that we may never get to visit. \r\n My entire 1st grade class loved the book so much. Each day they were excited to read and see what happened. Students had so much fun making predictions and discussing what happened and why. Their favorite characters were Stuart and Margalo. A few students really loved Snowbell too!","fullyFundedDate":1740191416167,"projectUrl":"project/chapter-books-inspire-students/9110233/","projectTitle":"Chapter Books Inspire Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9017389_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689243992373","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9017389"},{"teacherId":7665209,"projectId":8396181,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment and thank you for your donation to our classroom and our classroom items.

They love feeding the animals and they are developing their grasp while doing so. The Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads have been a huge hit as well. They have also been good for identifying body parts.

Students gained such valuable background knowledge. \r\nChemical reactions are always a hit in elementary school. My class was so exited to move beyond the baking soda and vinegar and make something that they could actually keep! We made our bouncy balls, learned about the science behind it, and then practiced our measuring skills while we had a contest to see whose ball could bounce the highest. \r\nThank you again for bringing these amazing science projects into my class.
