When we receive the package especially the printer, we immediately open and used it. I let the kids load some papers on it so we can print colorful engaging materials to use because they love coloring. When the students first receive the project materials like bags, pens and notebooks, their reaction were filled with excitement and curiosity. Most of them smiled widely, immediately opening the materials and touching it with eagerness. Some express joy by saying \"Is this for us?\" Their eyes lit up as they explore the colorful printer and interactive resources inside the package. The dominant emotions that I observe to my student were happiness, excitement, curiosity and motivation. The project not only provided learning materials but also fostered positive emotional responses that enhanced engagement and participation in the classroom.

The DNA playdough models clarify base pairing, antiparallel strands, and replication visually and kinesthetically. Together, they strengthen scientific reasoning, laboratory and communication skills, and cross‑curricular connections, especially for diverse learners through scaffolded tasks and low‑cost materials.","fullyFundedDate":1768022233183,"projectUrl":"project/handson-dna-models-microbe-detectives/9988361/","projectTitle":"Hands‑On Dna Models & Microbe Detectives","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Urbina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9349810_orig.jpg?crop=304,304,x0,y52&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699675337856","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9349810"},{"teacherId":10403395,"projectId":10016463,"letterContent":"Thank you for believing in my students and in the power of creative, meaningful learning. Your generosity does more than provide supplies—it creates opportunities for students to engage with literature in ways that honor their voices, strengths, and lived experiences.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, students are able to explore complex ideas through hands-on, visual learning that builds confidence, curiosity, and critical thinking. Many of my students thrive when they are given the freedom to create, interpret, and collaborate, and your support makes that possible. The resources you help provide allow every student, regardless of background or learning style, to participate fully and feel valued in the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour contribution affirms that learning can be rigorous, imaginative, and human all at once. It sends a powerful message to students that their ideas matter and that their education is worth investing in.

The first afternoon the supplies arrived, students helped sort sketchbooks, paints, and markers with real excitement. One student said, \"These are actually nice.\" That statement mattered. It signaled dignity. During our first project, students designed visual narratives that connected personal identity to academic goals. They planned drafts, revised designs, and presented final pieces to peers. Engagement remained high throughout the session. No one asked to leave early. Snacks were placed on a side table, and students quietly refueled before working. Focus improved immediately. Conversations shifted from \"I'm tired\" to \"Can I add another layer to this?\"\r\n\r\nWe are using the materials to reinforce core academic skills. In a recent lesson, students created mixed-media infographics that explained a math or literacy concept they struggled with. They had to research, outline key ideas, and visually represent the content with accuracy. This required critical thinking, organization, and revision. Students who typically hesitate to participate volunteered to share their work. The healthy snacks have also changed the tone of our sessions. Behavior issues have decreased. Students stay longer. They complete assignments before leaving. Energy levels remain stable, which allows us to push for deeper thinking and higher expectations.\r\n\r\nNext, students will begin a collaborative design challenge focused on career exploration and goal-setting. They will use the art supplies to prototype solutions to real-world problems in our community. We will integrate reflection journals to strengthen writing skills and metacognition. The snacks will continue to remove a basic barrier, allowing students to sustain effort. Your support did more than fund materials. It strengthened attendance, persistence, and confidence. Students now see after-school as a place to grow, create, and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1768716997949,"projectUrl":"project/student-success-necessities/10034704/","projectTitle":"Student Success Necessities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5635053_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1551470449626","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/madamethompson"},{"teacherId":5622530,"projectId":10002857,"letterContent":"This project has already initiated great motivation for my students!

It allows students to move beyond the classroom and gather information in real time with greater accuracy and better organization. Instead of trying to remember how many times a behavior occurred at the end of the day, an iPad allows for point-of-contact recording. Understanding why a behavior happens is key to supporting a student. iPads make it easy to log the \"ABC\" chain. \r\n\r\nThe most powerful part of digital behavior data is the ability to instantly turn raw notes into visual charts. An iPad can automatically generate a scatterplot to show when behaviors occur. You might notice a student only struggles on Tuesday mornings or right before lunch.","fullyFundedDate":1699234257624,"projectUrl":"project/saftey-first/8000319/","projectTitle":"Saftey First","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bellis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7573351"},{"teacherId":9577771,"projectId":8472219,"letterContent":"The students were extremely thankful for all the materials.\r\n Some of my students don't have safe environments when they leave our school.\r\n Thank you for helping supply my classroom with materials that get in the hands of students.\r\n All of the products were exciting to my students, as many of them are from low-income backgrounds.
