Science can have many abstract concepts. However, now with these Science kits, they can experiment with items. So, they have concrete images of what they are learning about in regards to light or fossils. It is really powerful to see them exploring. Then, they are more engaged and asking continous questions while they're learning. In fact, now they want to ask questions constantly. They are thrilled to discover new information and want to tell other peers and teachers. It's become a culture of learning, thanks to your donations!","fullyFundedDate":1762529825751,"projectUrl":"project/scientific-power/9790199/","projectTitle":"Scientific Power","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brecque","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp845535_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1512921429395","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ilya-brecque"},{"teacherId":845535,"projectId":9873917,"letterContent":"We are very grateful for the food. Many of my students are lacking food at home, especially during the government shut down and lack of resources. So, it is exciting to be able to provide regular snacks for them. Now, they can focus on teaching and learning, rather than their hunger. I have four classes and have enough snacks that any of them can eat before lunch. Our lunch isn't until 12:55. So, they get extremely hungry and it is hard to concentrate. Thanks to your support, I don't have to worry about that now.","fullyFundedDate":1762874366950,"projectUrl":"project/food-concerns/9873917/","projectTitle":"Food Concerns","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brecque","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp845535_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1512921429395","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ilya-brecque"},{"teacherId":845535,"projectId":9597831,"letterContent":"My students were so excited to receive these books, that look like them. The books show them examples of leadership in Science, politics, dance, and activism. So, they are reading about important figures in history and learning they can reach these heights too. In fact, I've had two sets of friends tell me they read the books during their sleep over. In all my years teaching, I've never had students share they were reading during their visits with friends for the weekend. They let me know what chapter they were on and were eager to continue reading. It was really wonderful to see such joy about these new books. Thank you for providing such an opportunity for them.","fullyFundedDate":1761046232856,"projectUrl":"project/powerful-literature-thats-black-like-me/9597831/","projectTitle":"Powerful Literature that's Black Like Me!!!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brecque","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp845535_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1512921429395","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ilya-brecque"},{"teacherId":845535,"projectId":8967530,"letterContent":"Our school is extremely diverse. However, many have one parent that happens to be African American. So, much of the richness within the population is over looked. Many families also have Native American heritage. Therefore, your donation have allowed students to learn about their own native cultural richness or that of their peers. Books that discuss experiences with eating fry bread, going to the Pow Wow, and/or visons, are so beautiful to see with bright and colorful illustrations! In fact, these books prompt students to share family experiences they may have not shared previously because they see themselves inside the pages of these indigenous books!","fullyFundedDate":1737313801503,"projectUrl":"project/books-honor-native-american-heritage/8967530/","projectTitle":"Books Honor Native American Heritage!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brecque","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp845535_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1512921429395","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ilya-brecque"},{"teacherId":845535,"projectId":8967566,"letterContent":"Our classes were so excited to receive food, toiletries, and warm clothing items! Your donations are so useful and kind! Our economy is really causing families to struggle extra. So, having noodles, fruit snacks, and pasta helps to ensure students are eating. Having a bit of extra food, even for a few meals ensures they are eating regularly! Toiletries allow students to stay clean and healthy. Plus, as upper elementary, it helps them to be more autonomous. Finally, extra socks, hats, and gloves help them to stay warm during these frigid days.","fullyFundedDate":1737574736559,"projectUrl":"project/warm-and-fed-for-the-holidays/8967566/","projectTitle":"Warm and Fed for the Holidays!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brecque","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp845535_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1512921429395","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ilya-brecque"},{"teacherId":845535,"projectId":8634361,"letterContent":"We appreciate the support for basic supplies. Now, students do not have to worry about finding glue for projects, looking for crayons or colored pencils for graphing or art, or having a place to put their materials. Their pencil bags allow them a contained spot for items they need. It saves time and helps us learn better with all of these materials at their ready. It also helps with their self-esteem and self worth. When they don't have basic supplies and can't afford to bring them, they feel uncomfortable and it impacts their perception of themselves.
