Thanks to your support, our middle school will be able to offer a ukulele class for the 2026-2027 school year, setting a precedent as the only middle school in our district able to provide such an opportunity. This addition to our curriculum is a significant step forward in enriching our music program.\r\n\r\nYour support will provide students with a new musical avenue but will also facilitate the educational collaboration between the music and science department when student study sound waves. This interdisciplinary approach will enhance our students' understanding of both music and science, aligning perfectly with our educational goals.

Many were surprised that something so small could make them feel so supported and cared for. They immediately understood that these items weren't just treats—they were tools to help them learn and thrive. That sense of being valued created a positive classroom moment I'll never forget.\r\n\r\n Having these resources available keeps them motivated and ready to fully participate, especially during their more demanding work sessions.

This new setup encourages students to immerse themselves in the learning process.\r\nAccess to this technology allows our students to explore music production software, develop their technical skills, and engage in hands-on learning. They are able to record, edit, and produce their own music tracks, which fosters creativity and critical thinking.

The new resources have truly transformed our classroom experience. When my students first saw the Magnetic Atom Model Set, their eyes lit up. They couldn't wait to start building atoms and exploring how protons, neutrons, and electrons fit together. One student even said, \"This is really helpful!\" It was such a great moment because they immediately connected hands on learning with real-world concepts.\r\n\r\nWe kicked off a project called \"Build an Atom Challenge\" where students work in teams to construct models of different elements and explain their properties. The magnetic pieces make it easy for them to visualize atomic structure, which is something that's hard to grasp from a textbook alone. The excitement was contagious, students were asking questions like, \"What happens if we add more neutrons?\" and \"Can we make an atom have different number of protons and neutrons?\"\r\n\r\nThe snacks and fidget toys have been a huge hit too! They've helped create a positive, focused environment during our longer lab sessions. The headphone covers and cleaning supplies ensure everything stays safe and sanitary, which is so important for hands on science.","fullyFundedDate":1758824901868,"projectUrl":"project/see-it-to-believe-it/9750372/","projectTitle":"See It to Believe It","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nesbitt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp546507_orig.jpg?crop=469,469,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1596678893273","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/546507"},{"teacherId":10164489,"projectId":9565156,"letterContent":"I would like to share with immense gratitude, all of my appreciation for your gift towards my class.

By allowing students to have a sense of choice in how they are rewarded, it has helped students feel that they are not receiving a generic reward for their hard work, but something they can genuinely appreciate.
