Thanks to your contribution, my students were able to explore the *Magic of Electrons* unit from the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) curriculum in a hands-on and engaging way. \r\n\r\nWith the Snap Circuits kits, students were able to build and experiment with real electrical circuits, deepening their understanding of how electricity works in the world around them. Through these interactive activities, they not only learned about essential concepts like series and parallel circuits, but also developed critical problem-solving and teamwork skills as they worked together to troubleshoot and complete their projects.\r\n\r\nThe Snap Circuits provided an invaluable opportunity for my students to connect theoretical knowledge with practical application. The excitement in the classroom was palpable as students lit up LEDs, powered motors, and created their own unique designs. This experience has sparked an interest in STEM fields and has motivated many students to explore more advanced topics in technology and engineering.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a lasting impact, and I can't thank you enough for helping bring this project to life. It has truly enriched the learning experience of my students and inspired them to think creatively about the possibilities of technology. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1734306333675,"projectUrl":"project/electrifying-technology/8857451/","projectTitle":"Electrifying Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Siruchek","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8608128"},{"teacherId":9748613,"projectId":8781207,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom project!

With these new resources, I am confident we will foster a deeper love for reading while helping my students develop stronger literacy skills in Spanish.

These new texts have had a profound impact on our native and heritage speakers by meeting their unique linguistic and cultural needs. With these books, students are engaging in deeper analysis of themes, character development, and cultural perspectives that resonate with their identities. These texts have allowed us to move beyond basic language comprehension and into advanced literacy skills, such as identifying figurative language, comparing cultural contexts, and crafting written responses that demonstrate critical thinking. The books have also sparked rich class discussions, as students connect with stories that mirror their own experiences or introduce them to new perspectives.\r\n\r\n In our classroom, reading has transformed into a dynamic and joyful activity. Students are excited to select books from our expanded library, often sharing their favorite parts or recommending titles to their peers. These students, who previously struggled with engagement due to lack of challenge, are now devouring books with themes of adventure and self-discovery, frequently asking for more recommendations. These books have not only built their literacy skills but also strengthened their confidence and connection to the Spanish language and their heritage. Your support has truly empowered our students, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunities you've given them to grow academically and personally.","fullyFundedDate":1726446266997,"projectUrl":"project/spanish-independent-reading/8779394/","projectTitle":"Spanish Independent Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Michaels","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9748613"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22804","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":877,"numTeachers":74,"percentFrplEligible":41,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":22804,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Washingtonville Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Washingtonville Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/washingtonville-central-school-district/washingtonville-middle-school/22804"}
