Students are now able to explore plant and animal cells, tissues, and microorganisms with a level of detail that was previously out of reach. During our recent unit on plant structure, students used the slides to compare different leaf tissues and identify stomata under magnification. Seeing these microscopic features firsthand helped them connect textbook diagrams to real-life examples, deepening their understanding of plant anatomy.\r\n\r\nWhen the slides first arrived, the students could hardly contain their enthusiasm. Many had never looked through a microscope before, and their reactions ranged from wide-eyed amazement to eager discussions about what they were seeing. One student exclaimed, \"It's like a whole new world!\"—a moment that perfectly captured the sense of discovery these materials have inspired.\r\n\r\nOur next steps involve using the slides for a long-term project on local plant biodiversity. Students will collect and prepare their own samples to compare with the prepared slides, learning proper lab techniques and data recording methods. Thanks to your generosity, they now have the tools to explore science in a hands-on, meaningful way.

Our limited budget meant making tough choices—sometimes sharing music between students or relying on outdated copies. Thanks to your generosity, those challenges are now behind us. We can print high-quality music and materials whenever we need them, giving every student the opportunity to learn, prepare, and perform at their very best.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your gift reaches far beyond convenience. You've given our singers the tools to take pride in their work, to study independently, and to grow as musicians and teammates. Your support sends them a powerful message: that their voices, their effort, and their art truly matter.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us here at Murrah High School—thank you.

Unlike digital tools, film photography requires students to be intentional about what they document — whether it's a lab experiment, a specimen under observation, or a group activity. This process encourages them to slow down, reflect on what is most important, and carefully frame their understanding of Biology through images.\r\n\r\nWhen the photos are developed, they become lasting records of discovery that students can look back on with pride. These tangible images bring our lessons to life, sparking conversations and reinforcing key concepts in ways that words alone cannot. The use of film not only adds creativity to science learning but also helps students see Biology as an experience worth remembering and sharing.","fullyFundedDate":1747949617203,"projectUrl":"project/lens-capturing-the-mind-putting-into-f/9365851/","projectTitle":"Lens: Capturing the Mind, Putting Into Films","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lance Montebon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9451602_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706739419246","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9451602"},{"teacherId":9451602,"projectId":9327213,"letterContent":"Having a monitor or desktop in the classroom has greatly enhanced the way my students learn Biology.
