One of the hardest skills for students to get proficient at is time management. So having these planners in hand is giving me a real boost in teaching students how to budget their time in and out of school efficiently.\r\nWe are spending a lot of time using the planners to schedule out important times such as when students have days off from classes, when big assignments are due, and when important exams are. By using these planners they are getting repetition with time management and it is helping them to be more organized and efficient with their time.\r\nThank you so much for all your support in this endeavor.","fullyFundedDate":1760444557293,"projectUrl":"project/planning-to-be-successful/9793897/","projectTitle":"Planning to Be Successful","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Paradise","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3457267_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1454792785384","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3457267"},{"teacherId":4027519,"projectId":9484449,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom.

With this project we were able to purchase a new refrigerator for my science classes. This opens up a world of opportunity for my students and what types of hands on learning we can do. Often times, biology and environmental courses have biological specimens, or other lab materials that require refrigeration for safety purposes. Now that we have that in place, we can try a lot more experiments that we would not have been able to look at otherwise.
