Because of you, my classroom now has a refreshed and engaging collection of books that has already sparked excitement and curiosity among my students.\r\n\r\nThese books are being used to update our independent reading list, where students choose titles that genuinely interest them. As they read, students rate and review their books and make meaningful connections between the text and concepts from our psychology curriculum. This approach not only strengthens reading comprehension and critical thinking, but also helps students see psychology reflected in real people, stories, and experiences.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, students are more motivated to read, more confident sharing their opinions, and more engaged in thoughtful discussions about human behavior and mental processes. Having access to a wider variety of relevant and appealing books has made independent reading feel personal and exciting rather than required.\r\n\r\nYour support has had a direct and lasting impact on my students' learning and enthusiasm for reading. Thank you for believing in our classroom and helping make learning come alive.","fullyFundedDate":1767223781766,"projectUrl":"project/psyched-about-reading/9650865/","projectTitle":"Psyched About Reading!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. DiMase","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5741627"},{"teacherId":5741627,"projectId":9529895,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my psychology students were able to bring their learning to life through our Sock Babies Project. With the new resources, each student created a \"sock baby\" and then applied psychological concepts to real-life scenarios. They tracked developmental milestones using Piaget's stages of cognitive development, and they explored Erikson's psychosocial stages by imagining how their sock babies would respond to different challenges.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, the classroom buzzed with excitement—they couldn't wait to design their babies and start applying the theories they had been reading about. One of my favorite moments was when a group of students proudly compared their babies' \"first steps\" and debated which developmental stage each baby had reached. It turned abstract concepts into tangible, funny, and memorable lessons.\r\n\r\nThis project gave students a peek into what it means to connect theory with real-world application, and they were both engaged and invested in the process. The next step is for students to reflect on how these theories play out in actual human development and to connect their sock baby experiences with case studies of real children. Your contribution has made these lessons meaningful and unforgettable—thank you for making this project possible!","fullyFundedDate":1755747138289,"projectUrl":"project/sock-babies/9529895/","projectTitle":"Sock Babies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. DiMase","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5741627"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_23835","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":901,"numTeachers":70,"percentFrplEligible":6,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":23835,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Eastchester High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Eastchester High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/eastchester-union-free-school-district/eastchester-high-school/23835"}
