These supplies will help us keep our students safe while they explore, experiment, and learn through hands-on science activities. My students were excited to see the new materials and are eager to put them to use during our upcoming labs.\r\n\r\nAs we continue learning about physical science, students will participate in experiments that allow them to observe scientific concepts in action. The safety glasses will help protect their eyes during investigations, while the alcohol wipes will help us maintain a clean learning environment and sanitize our equipment when appropriate.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helps make hands-on learning possible and shows our students that others believe in their education. Thank you for investing in our young scientists and helping us create a safe, engaging classroom where curiosity and discovery can thrive!","fullyFundedDate":1792671170868,"projectUrl":"project/eyes-on-science-/10356520/","projectTitle":"Eyes on Science !","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rakes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5084534_orig.jpg?crop=4291,4291,x0,y700&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1793033726044","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-samantha-king"},{"teacherId":10492679,"projectId":10524275,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for this donation! I really appreciate how much it has helped me in the classroom. The clicker helps me to be more mobile as I am teaching. This allows me to engage students more and use proximity to redirect students as I am teaching. \r\nThe document camera is particularly helpful in the classroom. The students love to see what they are working on, on the board. The students are able to clearly see what they are supposed to do for their work and I am able to give them explicit directions. \r\nThe students are also excited about the pencil toppers that they can buy with good behavior.

These books have helped introduce important reading skills such as understanding plot development, character traits, inference, sequencing, and interpreting visual clues alongside text. Many students who previously struggled with reading stamina or confidence are now eagerly picking up books and discussing stories with their classmates. The combination of illustrations and text has helped students strengthen comprehension while making reading feel exciting and approachable.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom has become a much more engaging and student-driven experience. Students are constantly recommending books to one another, reading during free moments, and even asking to take books home to continue reading. Our classroom library has become a place of excitement where students gather to talk about their favorite characters and storylines. The graphic novels have also encouraged reluctant readers to participate more during reading discussions because they feel successful and connected to the stories.\r\n\r\nSeveral students in particular have truly blossomed because of these new books. Some students who once avoided independent reading are now some of the first to grab a graphic novel and become fully immersed in a story. I have watched students build confidence, improve fluency, and develop a genuine love for reading through these texts. Your generosity has not only provided books for our classroom, but it has also helped create joyful reading experiences and lifelong readers. Thank you so much for supporting our students and making such a meaningful difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1778089139434,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-stories-to-life-with-graphic-no/10001611/","projectTitle":"Bringing Stories to Life With Graphic Novels","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rakes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5084534_orig.jpg?crop=4291,4291,x0,y700&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1793033726044","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-samantha-king"},{"teacherId":2382742,"projectId":9424241,"letterContent":"The ChompSaw has had a powerful impact on my classroom by transforming how students engage in hands-on learning. It allows third graders to safely and independently cut cardboard, giving them ownership of their projects and building confidence. Academically, the ChompSaw strengthens cross-curricular learning by helping students apply math skills like measurement, area, perimeter, and fractions through real-world building tasks. In science and social studies, students create models that deepen understanding and improve retention. The ChompSaw also promotes collaboration, problem-solving, and the use of academic language as students plan and build together. Most importantly, it has increased engagement, inclusivity, and excitement for learning, empowering students to see themselves as capable creators and critical thinkers.","fullyFundedDate":1760712216633,"projectUrl":"project/chomp-shop/9424241/","projectTitle":"Chomp Shop","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Amick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2382742_orig.jpg?crop=2191,2191,x104,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686644912463","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-amick"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_131069","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":310,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":84.0,"schoolId":131069,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Libertas Academy - Boiling Springs on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Libertas Academy - Boiling Springs","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/south-carolina-department-of-education/libertas-academy-boiling-springs/131069"}
