I waited to open the boxes until they all arrived. Several kids screamed they were so amped up over the project. That day, without any instruction, was one of the best question/answer and exploration activities I 've had in my class.\r\n\r\nThe students were curious and when the veterinarians and Medical doctors came in to work with them, they had well developed questions. This were questions that were important to the students and showed they excitement for this unit and exploring the medical fields. \r\n\r\nOur visitors were great and explained the equipment, showed the students how to use them and practiced with follow up. It was great. They also explained that this equipment was also used for research and how many fields in science (even engineering ) use this equipment. The whole project was amazing because of this gift!","fullyFundedDate":1715099784744,"projectUrl":"project/medical-marvels/8307944/","projectTitle":"Medical Marvels","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lehr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7400606_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1669999773523","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lehrsci"},{"teacherId":7400606,"projectId":8385744,"letterContent":"The students truly enjoyed the hands-on activities and most did the extensions for FUN! The pre and post tests for the unit showed a higher gain on understanding following the lab. As part of a \"quick check\" I follow up with the students about their understanding, where they gained the deepest knowledge and when they became most comfortable with being able to teach their learning to someone else. Most students stated that the lab, which used the items from this grant, helped them understand the concepts and answer the essential question with ease. Several parents have reached out about the labs and shared that their children came home talking about the experience.","fullyFundedDate":1725559580704,"projectUrl":"project/stem-motion-waves-and-magnets/8385744/","projectTitle":"STEM: Motion, Waves and Magnets","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lehr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7400606_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1669999773523","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lehrsci"},{"teacherId":9708856,"projectId":8707173,"letterContent":"THANK YOU! We appreciate your generous donation! Because of you, my students have had the chance to experience hands-on learning with snap circuits, and it's made a world of difference. This technology has transformed the way they learn, offering interactive lessons that meet their individual needs and helping them grasp complex concepts in ways that traditional methods never could. The excitement and curiosity it's sparked in them has been incredible, and it's inspiring them to engage with the material in a whole new way.\r\n\r\nI've seen a real difference in my students, especially those who've struggled with focus or organization in the past. One student with special needs, in particular, has become much more confident and engaged, and it's truly rewarding to see how their comprehension and participation have improved. These snap circuits have done so much more than just teach—they've opened the door to deeper learning and inspired my students to explore in ways I never thought possible. I can't thank you enough for making this possible!","fullyFundedDate":1726591148827,"projectUrl":"project/snap-circuit-detective-tracing-the-path/8707173/","projectTitle":"Snap Circuit Detective: Tracing the Path of Electricity","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Austin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9708856_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724700193740","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9708856"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57385","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":755,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.1,"schoolId":57385,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Haysville Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Haysville Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/haysville-unified-school-district-261/haysville-middle-school/57385"}
