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"},{"teacherId":5741627,"projectId":8558126,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and myself, I want to express our sincere thanks for your generous donation of books for our classroom project. Your support has made an incredible impact on our students' learning, and we are truly grateful for the resources you've provided.\r\n\r\nThe books you donated have significantly enriched our project and classroom activities. They have allowed students to explore topics on Neurodivergence in greater depth, enhancing both their understanding and their enthusiasm for the subject matter. \r\n\r\nMany students have shared how the materials helped them approach the project from new angles, which would not have been possible without these additional resources. \r\n\r\nThese resources have not only supported their academic growth but also inspired a deeper engagement with the subject, allowing them to develop critical thinking and analytical skills that will benefit them beyond this project. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your support. We look forward to continuing to utilize these materials in future projects and lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1723468091528,"projectUrl":"project/neurodivergent-childrens-book-investiga/8558126/","projectTitle":"Neurodivergent Children’s Book Investigation","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":81.8,"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"}
