Because of your generosity, our 6th grade students now have access to micro:bit sensors that allow them to explore how technology can help us better understand and protect the environment.\r\n\r\nThese sensors give our students the opportunity to move beyond reading about science and instead experience it firsthand. Students will use the micro:bits to collect real environmental data such as temperature, light levels, and other conditions around our campus. They will then analyze that data and use simple coding to understand patterns and think about solutions to environmental challenges. This project helps students see how engineering, data, and environmental science work together to solve real-world problems.\r\n\r\nFor many of our students, this will be their first experience working with sensors and coding tools used by engineers and scientists. Your support helps spark curiosity and builds confidence as they discover that they can use technology to investigate the world around them.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your donation shows our students that people believe in their ideas and their potential. Thank you for helping us create meaningful learning experiences that inspire the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.","fullyFundedDate":1766419751381,"projectUrl":"project/ai-and-the-environment/9909080/","projectTitle":"AI and the Environment","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. White","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4409065"},{"teacherId":1043832,"projectId":9996348,"letterContent":"Thank you for your kind and generous contribution. My students and I really appreciate that you chose to donate your hard earned money to our class. Many of my students come into my classroom not liking math or feeling like they are not capable of doing math. Your kind donation helped to purchase incentives for the students to practice their math. Kids love stickers and shaped mini erasers. The students love choosing an eraser or sticker when they have completed a math task. Several of my students have started earning stickers to give to their friends or younger siblings. \r\n The kids were excited as student helpers brought in the boxes from the office. They kept asking what was in them and why so many were arriving? We have used the colored paper for one of our projects where the students designed wind turbines (pinwheels) as we studied the benefits of wind energy. They are currently in the process of creating a math game to practice a concept. Several students have decided to use the mini erasers that they have earned from completing math tasks to use as game pieces for their games and have designed the graphics of the games around the pieces. \r\nOnce again, thank you for thinking of my students and our classroom. We really appreciate you.","fullyFundedDate":1768174722236,"projectUrl":"project/work-write-stick-erase-repeat/9996348/","projectTitle":"Work! Write! Stick! Erase!

Being able to earn a 3d print has been a great motivator for many of my students to complete workspaces in the district mandated math program that we use. They can earn one small 3d print daily in addition to either a mini eraser or sticker to put on their Chromebook or water bottle. Students that have completed their quarter goal for workspaces get to choose the large prize that they want. The students have chosen large Sour Patch Kids, dragons, Hello Kitty, and dragon eggs just to name a few.\r\n Several students have even designed their own creation to 3d print. Having the printer has allowed me to connect more to students that currently have a printer at home or are saving up to get one. We are able to converse about prints and I am able to ask them for help with stuff that I am doing. The confidence they show when they are able to help me is so wonderful since many of them feel like that because they are young, they don't know as much.

When the materials first arrived, my students were ecstatic; their eyes lit up as they realized these resources were chosen specifically to help them succeed. One student, who often struggles with traditional reading, immediately began exploring the all the craft supplies and posters, noting that he finally felt like he had the \"right tools\" to understand Brian in Hatchet. These supplies provide more than just physical items—they provide the accessibility my students need to engage with complex, grade-level themes of resilience. \r\nRight now, we just finished created diorama scenes from the story. A standout moment occurred last week when a student used the supplies to recreate the plane crash scene, using textual evidence from Hatchet to explain why Brian chose his specific shelter location. Looking ahead, our next steps involve comparing the traditional text to the graphic novel version. Students will use their new supplies to analyze how visual elements impact their understanding of the plot, ultimately building the confidence and memory retention necessary to master rigorous academic standards. Thank you for investing in their growth and proving that their potential is limitless.","fullyFundedDate":1768093017087,"projectUrl":"project/surviving-and-thriving-in-special-educat/9992998/","projectTitle":"Surviving and Thriving in Special Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dadosky","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9702230_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x0,y552&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768244461552","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9702230"},{"teacherId":9686543,"projectId":9572757,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our \"Home of Future Engineers\" project. Because of your generosity, my students now have access to hands-on STEM building materials such as magnetic tiles, creative straw engineering kits, and team building block sets, along with Earth Science posters, anchor chart paper, copy paper, and laminating pouches. These resources have transformed my instructional time from primarily discussion-based lessons to active, student-driven exploration. Instead of just talking about engineering design, force, structure, and problem-solving, students are now physically building, testing, revising, and collaborating in real time. The anchor chart paper and laminated materials allow us to capture student thinking, track revisions, and keep key concepts visible throughout our units, strengthening both retention and academic vocabulary development.\r\n\r\nThe impact on engagement and productivity has been immediate. Students who may struggle with traditional note-taking are thriving in structured, hands-on design challenges. Because materials are readily available and organized, transitions are faster and instructional time is maximized. Classroom posters support visual learning, while supplies like copy paper and laminating pouches help preserve reusable tools that save time over the long term. Your support has not just provided materials, it has increased meaningful learning minutes, deepened collaboration, and empowered my students to see themselves as capable engineers and problem-solvers.","fullyFundedDate":1764629315984,"projectUrl":"project/home-of-future-engineers/9572757/","projectTitle":"Home of Future Engineers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Henry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9686543"},{"teacherId":472254,"projectId":7765663,"letterContent":"We wanted to take a moment and thank you for your support!
