They are naturally curious, eager to take responsibility, and most engaged when they can work directly with animals, equipment, and environments that reflect the agricultural industry. These resources will allow students to build confidence, practice proper animal care, and connect classroom instruction to future agricultural and career opportunities.\r\n\r\nReptile Enclosure for Classroom Bearded Dragon\r\nThis enclosure has allowed students to safely observe and care for a classroom reptile while learning about habitat requirements, biosecurity, responsible pet ownership, and exotic animal management. Students have gained experience with non-traditional livestock and develop respect for diverse animal species.\r\n\r\nPuppy Pads\r\nPuppy pads support daily animal care routines and help students maintain clean, sanitary learning environments. Through these responsibilities, students practice essential animal-handling skills, sanitation procedures, and animal-welfare standards used in professional agricultural settings.\r\n\r\nRabbit Hutch for Classroom Pet\r\nA secure, comfortable rabbit hutch allows students to take an active role in caring for a small animal. Students have learned about proper housing, nutrition, behavior, and health management while developing accountability and teamwork skills.\r\n\r\nArena Timer for FFA and High School Rodeo Students\r\nAn arena timer has provided student competitors with a professional-level tool to track performance, set measurable goals, and compete fairly in timed events. This resource builds accuracy, responsibility, confidence, and sportsmanship as students represent their school, FFA chapter, and rodeo program.\r\n\r\nTogether, these resources have created engaging, real-world learning experiences that help students grow into knowledgeable, responsible, and passionate agricultural leaders—both in the classroom and in the arena.","fullyFundedDate":1767212965916,"projectUrl":"project/rodeo-bound-investing-in-the-next-gener/9889084/","projectTitle":"Rodeo Bound: Investing in the Next Generation of FFA Athletes","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10055953_orig.jpg?crop=1283,1284,x0,y205&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749830318813","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jgreenagteach"},{"teacherId":10055953,"projectId":9929427,"letterContent":"Impact of a Generator for Classroom Farm Animal Projects\r\n\r\nA generator has provided a reliable power source that is essential for maintaining the health, safety, and well-being of our classroom farm animal projects. Students have gained firsthand experience managing real-world agricultural challenges by ensuring animals receive consistent care, even during power outages and when working in remote or outdoor learning spaces.\r\n\r\nWith access to a generator, students can safely operate heat lamps, fans, automatic waterers, clippers, and other essential equipment used in animal care and livestock management. This allows them to learn proper environmental control, animal comfort practices, and emergency preparedness—skills that are critical in modern agricultural operations.\r\n\r\nThe generator also supports hands-on learning by allowing students to continue daily care routines without interruption. Students develop responsibility, problem-solving skills, and confidence as they learn how to respond to unexpected situations while prioritizing animal welfare.\r\n\r\nOverall, this resource strengthens experiential learning by mirroring real agricultural practices and teaching students the importance of planning, adaptability, and stewardship. A generator ensures our students are prepared to become knowledgeable, dependable, and safety-conscious agricultural leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1765777213193,"projectUrl":"project/powering-learning-a-generator-to-keep/9929427/","projectTitle":"“Powering Learning: A Generator to Keep Our AG Students Growing”","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10055953_orig.jpg?crop=1283,1284,x0,y205&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749830318813","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jgreenagteach"},{"teacherId":10055953,"projectId":9412875,"letterContent":"Our students have jumped right into using the new toolbox incubators, brooding boxes, and egg candler, and they have completely transformed our poultry unit. With the incubators, students are able to monitor temperature, humidity, and egg rotation just like real poultry producers. The brooding boxes give the newly hatched chicks a safe, warm space where students can learn about proper heat management, bedding, and nutrition. The egg candler has become a favorite tool—students love checking embryo development and tracking growth from day to day.\r\n\r\nStudent Reactions\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the incubators and brooding boxes set up, their excitement filled the room. Many had never seen an egg candler before, and watching their faces light up when they saw a tiny heartbeat inside an egg was unforgettable. They were eager to take ownership of the process and immediately started making predictions and observations.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat's Next for Our Classroom Project\r\n\r\nThe next step in our poultry unit is for students to create their own data logs, tracking hatch rates, chick growth, and environmental conditions. They'll compare their findings to real poultry industry standards and present what they learned about responsible breeding and animal care. As the chicks grow, students will also practice safe handling techniques and learn about nutrition, housing, and biosecurity.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students now have access to hands-on, meaningful agricultural experiences that spark curiosity and build real-life skills.
