This crucial tool has brightened and brought to life our student collaborative work and our crucial notebooks in a very meaningful way.

It can be completely overwhelming for them. However, step by step, with engaging, thoughtful group collaboration, we have been able to work well together to depend our knowledge and understanding of Biology concepts which will benefit them not only for these exam requirements, but for the deeper and most important lifelong learning your gift has helped them experience this year. \r\n\r\nThey now each have their own notebook full of our group thinking and sense making to support them as they prepare for these final weeks of difficult exams. Most importantly, they can reflect on all the hard work they did this year and this finished, impressive product now knowing they have new skills. They can do it! They can be successful! I have heard their own acknowledgement of their \"completely full\" notebooks and how proud they are of them. \r\n\r\nAs a teacher, it is very heartwarming to feel community support in this often thankless work.
