Your generosity is making a meaningful and lasting impact on my students, and I cannot thank you enough for investing in their learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students now have access to high-quality, interactive science and math lessons that spark curiosity and deepen understanding. Generation Genius brings complex concepts to life through engaging videos, hands-on activities, and real-world examples that truly resonate with young learners. For many of my students—especially those who may struggle with more traditional approaches—this resource opens doors to learning that would otherwise remain closed.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher at a Title I school, I see firsthand how important resources like these are. They don't just enhance our curriculum; they inspire confidence and excitement. My students come to class eager to explore, question, and discover. They talk about what they're learning long after the lesson ends, and they feel proud of the knowledge they're gaining. That spark—that joy—is something your generosity helped create.","fullyFundedDate":1755733439413,"projectUrl":"project/genius-at-work/9502490/","projectTitle":"Genius at Work","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cicero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2511511_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y764&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1638243251548","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cicero"},{"teacherId":2511511,"projectId":9570242,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in helping fund new math supplies for my classroom.
