Because of your support, each of my students now has a dedicated science notebook, and it has made a noticeable difference in how they approach their learning.\r\n\r\nWe use these notebooks every day to record observations, write reflections, complete diagrams, and organize notes from our lessons and labs. One memorable moment was during a recent activity where students observed a demonstration and then used their notebooks to draw labeled diagrams and explain the process in their own words. It was exciting to see them take ownership of their work and refer back to earlier pages to make connections.\r\n\r\nWhen the notebooks were first handed out, many students were genuinely excited to have something that was \"theirs\" to use just for science. Several students flipped through the pages, asked if they could decorate the covers, and immediately began writing in them. For some, this was the first time they had a dedicated space to keep all of their science thinking in one place.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using their notebooks during our upcoming units, where they will record lab data, write claims supported by evidence, and track their progress over time. These notebooks will become a personal record of their growth and understanding throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools they need to stay organized, think more deeply, and engage more fully in science.","fullyFundedDate":1758206844128,"projectUrl":"project/writing-our-way-through-science/9668809/","projectTitle":"Writing Our Way Through Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Satter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8717660_orig.jpg?crop=1100,1100,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1664645656499","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8717660"},{"teacherId":8717660,"projectId":7560838,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my students were able to experience a hands-on science project that they will not soon forget. Using the materials you helped provide, students designed and built their own model volcanoes and then watched them erupt during our class investigation. It was an exciting moment, cheers, laughter, and wide eyes filled the room as each volcano \"exploded\" and brought our lesson to life.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students were immediately curious and eager to get started. Many of them asked questions right away and began brainstorming how they wanted to design their volcanoes. The energy in the classroom was noticeably different, students who are usually quiet were engaged, collaborating with their classmates, and fully invested in the activity.\r\n\r\nThrough this project, students were able to connect chemical reactions to real-world phenomena like volcanic eruptions. They practiced teamwork, observation, and scientific reasoning as they predicted outcomes and analyzed what happened during each eruption.\r\n\r\nAs a next step, students will be using what they learned from this activity to study Earth's internal processes and plate tectonics. They will apply their understanding of volcanic activity to explain how and why volcanoes form in different parts of the world, building on the excitement and curiosity sparked by this hands-on experience.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this memorable learning experience possible for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1695734790264,"projectUrl":"project/new-teacher-means-starting-from-scratch/7560838/","projectTitle":"New Teacher Means Starting From Scratch","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Satter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8717660_orig.jpg?crop=1100,1100,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1664645656499","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8717660"},{"teacherId":8717660,"projectId":9449024,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to our classroom.
