Knowing that we also took pictures, and had them see in our classroom on the bulletin board the different things we were able to do really made me have to amp things up in our class as well. The fact that they recall making an aqueduct, or clay \"artifacts\" for the second and third graders to come see on display in our \"museum,\" really showed them that school is an experience in addition to being a right. The experiences made have the students I teach telling their younger siblings. Those younger siblings talk about how they, \"Can't wait to do that in your class.\" The big kicker is....\r\n\r\n It wouldn't have been able to be if it weren't for you.\r\n\r\nFrom printing out paper wagons of cardstock and racing them, to using the gavel in debate on which form of government was better; and oligarchy or a democracy (which they LOVE to use the gavel), my students will recall these experiences and have a more positive attitude towards Social Studies even next year. I know I saw a switch this year, and with projects like this being able to come to fruition because of wonderful givers like you, we are all truly blessed :) Thank you for blessing us richly, and we hope it all comes back to your hearts and minds, as this has come to us :) Thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1766952752302,"projectUrl":"project/ancient-civilizations-revived-for-fourth/9670215/","projectTitle":"Ancient Civilizations Revived for Fourth Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sonnier's Stellar Students!","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5445249_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y72&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695227306469","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-sonnier"},{"teacherId":5445249,"projectId":9818000,"letterContent":"This was a project that truly came in as a hero to certain concepts my students had trouble with using the curriculum we have for our district.

So my students were able to see the same information, in a fun or relatable way, and we did not have to pull out the usual workbooks of the curriculum, which had them excited from the beginning of class.\r\nWithout the support of this project, I am sure that only using our curriculum as the basis of this year's learning, some students would not have understood the information.

The squish balls were awesome to have so close to state testing; many students wanting one to help them when they got nervous. The smelly stickers....oh the smelly stickers! These are something that I love to use each year, because it seems the smellier, the better for the children! I always find that hilarious, and have even had students from other classes asking if they could earn one too!

The books have not been with us long, but we have been able to utilize the glossary for various words we have in our curriculum's lessons. There was even a word game we played using words from the glossary specific to what concept we are talking about, and students had to give hints to the person at the front of class to help that student at the front, recall what word they were talking about/written on the board. It was very useful for my ESL students who usually don't have any reference word to have them say anything when we play that game in class.\r\n\r\nComing back from the winter holidays, I will implement the books at the start of our class, doing a couple of review questions at the start of class. I will also give students mini lessons on flex days of questions we have not yet covered in depth yet and that might have been on a previous week's lesson. Being in the middle of the year, this is going to be a consistent way to amp up the review from items we have learned way at the start of the school year, but that students will be expected to provide answers for in the spring on state testing. Additionally, this will make excellent homework on those weeks closer to testing, when there is MUCH to cover in our district's curriculum during the school day. I cannot wait to see the major affects of this project coming to fruition on their testing, and we would not have this without your generosity.

The magazines of this project are such a hit, I have had students ask to bring them home! With three classes of students, it is not possible to give them all one to bring home. But this is where the online access is such a valuable component. Not only do the children get to read the articles online, but they play games and watch videos specific to the article's content. WITHOUT ADS. WITHOUT WORRY OF SOMETHING INAPPROPRIATE POPPING UP. \r\n Scholastic has always been a trusted source, but I believe having these magazines have also given insight to things my students otherwise would never know about. The content is unmatched, students show their friends and children are completing assignments to be able to have time to look at what their friends saw.

What happened was SO. MUCH. MORE. We began using them on our science \"Flex days,\" and the students really enjoyed the dancing scientist, playing Kahoot to test what they have learned, and make connections in vocabulary that is frequently used in our Great Minds curriculum. They have really looked forward to watching them for indoor recess, instead of playing board games, doing a Go Noodle Indoor Recess video, or even using the Chromebooks to go onto teacher approved websites! Mostly, I have had them look at the different experiments from the videos, and decide if there is one they would like to do on flex days. I have not had the opportunity to do one in class yet, but have printed two for students to do at home, and I had a couple of students come back with some information to share during lessons when having whole class discussions.\r\n My favorite part of it all is something unexpected. My students struggle with application of concepts learned. Previous learning made it easy for students to do well in science by being good readers, or having good inferencing skills. The new standards and curriculum we use are now very hands on. This means the students need to apply in \"real-world scenarios what we learned. The \"Real-World-Science\" portions of the Generation Genius videos make their eyes light up, when they see that what we are learning is literally happening all around them! It has given a new lens for them to look out of, and give deeper understanding to the concepts taught. This, is the difference in a basic and a mastery on end of year state testing, and I love that we can take the standards further in a fun and engaging way! Thank you for giving this gem to my students. We wouldn't have these experiences without you.","fullyFundedDate":1757958704754,"projectUrl":"project/generation-genius-making-science-fun/9692634/","projectTitle":"Generation Genius: Making Science F.U.N.!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sonnier's Stellar Students!","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5445249_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y72&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695227306469","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-sonnier"},{"teacherId":2357987,"projectId":9413596,"letterContent":"Thank you from the bottom of my hearts.
