When the new microscopes, magnifying glasses, and plant growing kits arrived, the excitement in the room was contagious—my students couldn't wait to dive in and start exploring. These curious young scientists immediately began asking questions, making predictions, and examining everything from leaves and soil to tiny bugs they found during recess. It was incredible to see their faces light up as they looked through a microscope for the very first time and realized just how much detail exists in the world around them.\r\n\r\nThese new tools have transformed how we approach science in our classroom. With hands-on access to real lab equipment, students are learning to observe carefully, ask deeper questions, and make connections between what they see and the scientific concepts we're studying. We've already started a unit on ecosystems, and the students used the Sprout & Grow Windows to watch roots form and plants grow in real-time. Thanks to your generous support our class is developing a lasting love for science and discovery. We're excited to continue this journey, and we can't wait to see where our curiosity takes us next!","fullyFundedDate":1758078861109,"projectUrl":"project/a-closer-look-exploring-the-microscopic/9676672/","projectTitle":"A Closer Look: Exploring the Microscopic World","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5024728"},{"teacherId":5024728,"projectId":9299936,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our class community service project inspired by Service Stars. Your generosity has helped bring our vision to life, empowering our students to spread kindness, creativity, and environmental awareness in meaningful ways. From planting and caring for flowers to creating handmade friendship bracelets and thoughtful gift bags, our students have learned the true value of giving back and working together for a greater good.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our project has been inclusive, engaging, and impactful for children of all ages and abilities. Watching our students take pride in their efforts and share their creations with the community has been truly heartwarming. The smiles, the connections, and the shared moments—captured with printed photos and shared with neighbors—have made a lasting impression on us all. Thank you for helping us grow not only plants, but also compassion, community, and a lasting spirit of kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1746458008882,"projectUrl":"project/creative-community/9299936/","projectTitle":"Creative Community","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5024728"},{"teacherId":9738493,"projectId":9029432,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donations, my speech therapy room has become a more engaging and interactive space for my students. The WH Bingo and category activities have been a big hit, and my students get excited when it's game time, often without realizing they're practicing important language skills. The answer buzzers add a fun, competitive element that keeps everyone motivated and involved, especially during group sessions. When the materials first arrived, their eyes lit up with curiosity and joy. I've laminated custom visuals and sorting cards to make them durable and reusable, which supports our ongoing goals. The manipulatives have been especially helpful for allowing students to categorize, label, and sort vocabulary in hands-on, meaningful ways. These resources have truly enhanced our sessions, and I'm very grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1746490429077,"projectUrl":"project/voices-in-bloom-materials-for-speech-th/9029432/","projectTitle":"Voices in Bloom: Materials for Speech Therapy Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grisanti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9738493"},{"teacherId":9726970,"projectId":8734842,"letterContent":"My students are very happy with the resources they have in the classroom, they are able to participate and engage more in activities now that they have something to look forward to. When they saw the swing and the crash pad they could not wait to use it and take turns. Now they look forward to going to my classroom. The room is also being used for recess time for the little ones in 3k and 4k who love to use the swing and the crash pad. \r\n\r\nI am also able to create more engaging activities now with the resources I have. My next steps for this classroom is to hopefully make it a full sensory room for the school to use for students in crisis, students who just need the space and all students who use it and pass by it all the time it can be a calming place. My students have become much more excited to go to physical education and reach their goals. The students who have been working on their sportsmanship and social interaction have been improving substantially all due to the resources we now have.
