Thanks to your kindness, my students have been able- to transition from simply reading about concepts in a textbook to actively exploring them with their own hands. \r\nThese new resources have completely shifted the energy in our classroom. My students are now more deeply engaged, collaborative, and excited to tackle complex problem-solving activities every single day. \r\n\"When the boxes first arrived and we unboxed the materials together the classroom erupted in pure excitement. The student's eyes immediately lit up, and they flooded me with questions like, \"Are we using theses today?\" There was an instant buzz of curiosity in the room as they crowded around the tables just to set a closer look at what they would be building and experimenting with. \r\nNow that the students have built their initial protypes using the new materials, our next step is the testing stage. This week they will gather data on how well their designs perform under different contrasts. From there, they will work with their teams to analyze what failed, and present their final optimized solutions to the class.","fullyFundedDate":1788894385589,"projectUrl":"project/dynamic-growth/10587384/","projectTitle":"Dynamic Growth","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10647750"},{"teacherId":10108446,"projectId":9528119,"letterContent":"Our Discovery Den was filled with excitement when the new materials arrived! The students could hardly wait to open the boxes and explore everything inside. The hammock chair stands, Big Joe bean bag, fidget toys, and squishy balls instantly brought smiles and curiosity to their faces.\r\n\r\nOne of the best moments was watching the students work together to build the hammock chairs. They took turns holding pieces, helping one another, and cheering as each chair was finished. What started as setting up our new items quickly turned into a wonderful team activity full of laughter, cooperation, and pride in their accomplishment.\r\n\r\nNow, our calming area has become one of the most loved parts of the classroom. The hammock chairs and bean bag provide a cozy place to relax, while the fidget toys and squishy balls offer calming sensory input that helps students stay focused and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create not only a calm and comforting space, but also a special experience that brought our students closer together.","fullyFundedDate":1754679629143,"projectUrl":"project/dr-ds-discovery-den/9528119/","projectTitle":"Dr. D's Discovery Den","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Montano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10108446_orig.jpg?crop=1216,1216,x0,y218&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754270486730","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10108446"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17716","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":334,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":97,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"8.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.8,"schoolId":17716,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Edison Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Edison Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/edison-middle-school/17716"}
