My school prides itself on its curriculum that move the voices and experiences of communities of color from the margins to the center. In our policies and practices, we emphasize student voice, civic engagement, and the free exchange of ideas. We cultivate a respect for diversity of all kinds. Most of all, we strive to be an intellectual community where our students feel comfortable being themselves and expressing their opinions. We do not have any testing requirements to be accepted into our school so students of varying backgrounds enter into our program. All students take semester long physics as incoming 9th grades which present challenges to most students. To assist in the students social and emotional wellness as they navigate this accelerated requirement, I've requested a variety of materials that will serve to support my students in this capacity.","fullyFundedDate":1776132334478,"projectUrl":"project/social-and-emotional-supports-for-learni/10148121/","projectTitle":"Social and Emotional Supports for Learning Physics","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. U","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9363940_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1767708330770","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9363940"},{"teacherId":9364840,"projectId":10195833,"letterContent":"Thanks so much for contributing the fidgets, snacks, and small toys for our NHS goodie bags.

The island building lab generated a lot of interest as students explored how the Hawaiian islands formed. This included making volcanos in beakers and watching convection in action in water tanks to show how plates move. The seafloor spreading lab was also interesting for the students in exploring why subduction happens between oceanic and continental plates, and to see how rock age varies across oceans. The fossil casting and fossil digs were great laid-back activities to follow our quarter exam.\r\nWe'll be using the radiometric dating lab this week as we start to explore fossils and dinosaurs, followed by a pigeon dissection to get an internal look at a modern-day dinosaur. The class has been looking forward to the dinosaur content, so it's a perfect place to begin our fourth quarter in a few weeks.\r\nThanks again for your support and for helping to elevate this early college class to a higher level more in tune with an actual college class.","fullyFundedDate":1762540723814,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-prehistoric-times-with-paleobi/9693399/","projectTitle":"Exploring Prehistoric Times With Paleobiology Lab Activities","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Kurker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9364840_orig.jpg?crop=1157,1157,x286,y640&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777521562285","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rkurker"},{"teacherId":9363940,"projectId":9687872,"letterContent":"Thank you on behalf of my students for your generous donations to this project.
