I now have essential tools to seamlessly integrate hands-on learning into every subject. The Magnetic Tiles and Wooden Blocks are invaluable technological tools that help my students understand complex concepts in engineering and geometry through tactile construction. This active experimentation is vital to how I teach them to approach challenges with an open mind, unlocking their potential as future scientists and engineers.\r\n\r\nThe new materials are most exciting to my students because they offer both creative freedom and engaging stories. The Magnetic Tiles are an instant hit, quickly turning our flexible learning zones into collaborative design studios where students work together to build complex 3D structures. Furthermore, the inclusion of The Wild Robot series in both English and Spanish has become the most beloved series on our shelves. They are inspired by Roz's problem-solving journey, leading to spontaneous discussions about artificial intelligence and survival. The Double Dice and Math Games have transformed skill practice from rote memorization into a fun group challenge. Meanwhile, the TPT gift card allows me to secure resources that directly align with my students' current interests whether it's a detailed lesson plan on planets sparked by Jupiter the Gassy Giant or a creative writing prompt inspired by our new books. Finally, the organizational tools, from the pencil pouches to the curtain rods, have created a clean, defined, and inviting space where my students feel proud and ready to discover. Thank you for making my classroom a true place of discovery and innovation.","fullyFundedDate":1752165205659,"projectUrl":"project/sparking-young-innovators/9389901/","projectTitle":"Sparking Young Innovators","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eversole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7812843_orig.jpg?crop=516,516,x333,y158&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651500882734","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-eversole"},{"teacherId":7812843,"projectId":9349163,"letterContent":"The materials from the Growing Green Futures project have transformed my classroom into a hands-on space to learn more about environmental science. The most powerful addition is the \"Ecosystem\" card game, which is a form of educational technology that makes abstract concepts about ecology and interdependence tangible and engaging. The game is a physical simulation that requires them to build balanced food webs. This active, high-stakes game play has replaced passive learning, allowing my students to see the immediate cause and effect of conservation decisions, which is exactly how I can cultivate the empathy and sense of responsibility I want for them.\r\n\r\nThe resources that my students find most exciting was this game! They love the challenge of the \"Ecosystem\" game, competing to be the group that builds the most resilient habitat. They also like the new books like The Whale Who Ate Plastic which sparked such powerful discussions that my students made posters reminding classes to recycle.","fullyFundedDate":1747768657020,"projectUrl":"project/growing-green-futures/9349163/","projectTitle":"Growing Green Futures:","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eversole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7812843_orig.jpg?crop=516,516,x333,y158&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651500882734","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-eversole"},{"teacherId":7812843,"projectId":9268251,"letterContent":"The new collection of books has been an incredible success and has allowed me to directly fuel my third-grade students' enthusiasm for our planet. Now, with books like Over and Under the Canyon, Save the Ocean, and My Friend Earth, I have been able to integrate meaningful science content directly into our literacy block. These books are powerful tools that offer stunning visuals and accessible narratives that help my students grasp complex ideas like biodiversity and our role in environmental protection. This gift has strengthened my teaching by providing a rich, shared experience that builds both literacy skills and a deep, lasting appreciation for the natural world.\r\n\r\nThe product that is most exciting to my students was the Over and Under series. They love getting to see the hidden worlds of the pond, the snow, and the canyon come to life. I have seen particular students, who were already interested in animals but struggled with longer texts, truly warm to these resources. This collection has empowered all my students to become curious explorers and responsible citizens of the Earth, fostering a sense of hope for the future.","fullyFundedDate":1746785467672,"projectUrl":"project/learning-to-love-our-planet/9268251/","projectTitle":"Learning to Love Our Planet!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eversole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7812843_orig.jpg?crop=516,516,x333,y158&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651500882734","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-eversole"},{"teacherId":7812843,"projectId":9100856,"letterContent":"The new materials for improving reading comprehension have had an immediate and tangible impact in my third-grade classroom. This project, which provided me with a gift card for new resources, allowed me to select specialized books and activity sets that directly target key reading strategies like identifying cause and effect and recognizing themes. Before, I often had to rely on a limited number of materials for these crucial skills, which made it hard to differentiate instruction. Now, I have a wider variety of texts and engaging activities, which means every student can practice the same skill at their just-right reading level. These resources are helping my students to not just read words, but truly understand and connect with the stories.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting aspect for the students has been the introduction of new, engaging texts that directly correlate with our science and social studies units. They are thrilled to make real-world connections between what they read and what they are learning in other subjects. I've noticed a particular warming to these materials from students who previously struggled with attention during reading time. Thank you so much for investing in these fundamental skills.

Your donation of books and art supplies has profoundly impacted my students, sparking their excitement about different cultures and traditions. The new texts have introduced them to diverse perspectives and ways of life, fostering empathy and a broader understanding of the world. Through engaging activities and discussions, my students have been able to explore the richness of global holidays, enriching their learning experience beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nIn my classroom, my students were so excited to open up the new books we got. They were on display through today and my students have chosen to go read the book on their own to learn more and explore the different holidays around the world. We read some of these books whole class and learned about all sorts of winter holidays through out winter. The new books have not only enhanced their literacy skills but have also encouraged critical thinking and meaningful conversations. Students are learning to analyze characters, identify themes, and make connections to their own lives and cultures. These skills are invaluable in building their comprehension and fostering a love for reading. One student, in particular, was so excited to \"finally see a book about what they celebrate\" in a classroom at our school!\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your kindness and support.
