Your contribution has made a profound impact on my students and has provided us with invaluable tools to inspire curiosity, ignite a passion for science, and deepen our understanding of the natural world. Your generosity is not just an investment in materials; it is an investment in the future of my students and their ability to explore and dream big.\r\n\r\nAs an educator, my primary goal is to create a learning environment that sparks enthusiasm and fosters critical thinking. Science, particularly microscopy, offers a unique opportunity to open up worlds that are invisible to the naked eye. With the materials you have provided, my students now have the ability to explore microscopic organisms, examine intricate structures, and engage in hands-on experiments that make abstract concepts tangible.\r\n\r\nThis new equipment has already begun to transform my classroom. For many of my students, this is their first time using a microscope, and the joy on their faces when they see a single cell or a detailed leaf structure is absolutely priceless. These materials are not just tools—they are gateways to discovery. With every slide prepared and every lens adjusted, my students are learning not only scientific skills but also patience, attention to detail, and the thrill of uncovering something new.\r\n\r\nYour support has also opened doors for interdisciplinary learning. Using the microscopes, students are now able to integrate knowledge from biology, chemistry, and environmental science. For example, they can analyze water samples to study ecosystems or investigate how different materials interact on a microscopic level. These activities cultivate curiosity and inspire innovative thinking that extends beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nIn addition to enhancing our curriculum, your donation has fostered a sense of empowerment and possibility within my students. Many of them have expressed a newfound interest in pursuing STEM careers, something that might not have felt accessible to them before. Your generosity has shown them that there are people who care deeply about their education and believe in their potential to succeed.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, your gift has had a ripple effect. It has encouraged a culture of collaboration and exploration within my classroom. Students are eager to share their findings with one another, creating a community of learners who support and inspire each other. This collaborative spirit will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on their academic and personal growth.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for being a part of this journey. Your kindness and support mean the world to us. You have provided not only the resources we needed but also the encouragement and motivation to strive for excellence.\r\n\r\nWe promise to make the most of the opportunities you have given us. I look forward to sharing the exciting discoveries and progress that your donation has made possible. Thank you for believing in my students and for helping to cultivate the scientists, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow","fullyFundedDate":1692479791126,"projectUrl":"project/a-look-at-the-microscopic-world/7698010/","projectTitle":"A Look at the Microscopic World!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Puccio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8626296_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692480735150","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8626296"},{"teacherId":9636026,"projectId":8618311,"letterContent":"What an amazing gift to have really beautiful literature in my classroom! I almost instantly had students who turn up their noses at reading their whole lives find it interesting to pick up The Blind Side because \"It's sports\" and ELL students flip through The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe picture book because it was accessible. \r\n\r\nI am especially impacted by two students. The first, a girl who tested at a 10th grade reading level in my ICT class who told me she was bored with the material we're doing and asked for something harder. Since our current unit was about how actions define us, I let her borrow To Kill a Mockingbird for independent reading and asked her to include material from the novel in an essay about the characters we studied. She loved the book and the project!\r\n\r\nThe other student is an 8th grader I had last year, who loves drama class and enjoyed ELA but needed independent reading for her current class. I immediately suggested the No Fear Shakespeare Much Ado About Nothing. It was an instant hit, and the student devoured the material quickly! The \"No Fear\" series has really taken off with my students, with ELLs, lower-level, and upper-level students engaging with these texts more than any others. It just goes to prove my theory that the classics are classic for a reason: they are good, riveting stories that transcend time.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has allowed these students to discover that they do not have to feel starved for good stories! Thank you again for helping these children pursue their interests and learn to love the written word.","fullyFundedDate":1727985573902,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-students-to-read-broadly-and/8618311/","projectTitle":"Empowering Students to Read Broadly and Develop Their Interests","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Garzetta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9636026_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723264253252","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9636026"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1138","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":980,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":27,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.9,"schoolId":1138,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Intermediate School 002 George L Egbert on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Intermediate School 002 George L Egbert","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/is-2-george-egbert/1138"}
