The day the boxes arrived, students immediately volunteered to set up stations and jumped into labs and quick checks-for-understanding with a level of excitement I don't always see. Even my quiet learners found ways to participate through visuals, modeling, and gallery walks.\r\n\r\nYour specific gifts have been game changers. Construction paper and markers were used to create eye-catching posters that helped students organize key ideas and explain concepts to peers. The sticky posters were especially powerful for our one-pager tasks, students could stand, think aloud, and capture their thoughts clearly and creatively. Scissors, glue, and other supplies made our manipulatives work smooth and successful, letting students build models, compare structures, and revise their thinking in real time. Your generosity didn't just add supplies; it opened doors for expression, collaboration, and deeper understanding.","fullyFundedDate":1745630763658,"projectUrl":"project/stock-the-future-give-them-tools-for-su/9206376/","projectTitle":"Stock the Future: Give them Tools for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jaleco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9484669_orig.jpg?crop=2580,2580,x413,y534&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726607286613","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9484669"},{"teacherId":88573,"projectId":8763621,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting chemical inquiry in my classroom for my students.\r\nMy original intent was to provide more accurate tools or instruments for my students to refine their experimental results and become more precise in analyzing their results.\r\n\r\nTriple beam balances can be quite accurate when well maintained and the user is experiences in the techniques for getting good measurements. However, today's students are much more comfortable using digital tools. They have a hard time having the patience to repeat measurements to be sure it is accurate.\r\n\r\nWith a digital scale, the measurements are automatic as well as the scales being programmable to measure multiple units making conversion math less prone to human error. We are also able to measure very tiny amounts of substances accurately.\r\n\r\nThanks again for supporting student inquiry and critical thinking experiences in my classes!","fullyFundedDate":1736440988741,"projectUrl":"project/safer-chemistry-by-micro-measuring/8763621/","projectTitle":"Safer Chemistry by Micro Measuring","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Price","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp88573_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y64&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724356114174","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/88573"},{"teacherId":254931,"projectId":9059126,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support!
