Students who need a charged Chromebook for a variety of reasons, have been able to consistently access a fully charged device, allowing them to actively participate in class and complete assignments and assessments without interruption. The cart has eliminated concerns about running out of charged devices and has provided an organized, secure solution in place of a small, cluttered storage cabinet.\r\nI am confident this charging cart will support my students for years to come. I am truly grateful to have this resource, as it has significantly reduced the stress of ensuring my students have access to the devices they need during class time. Overall, the cart is sturdy, well-constructed, and made with high-quality materials.","fullyFundedDate":1768693717522,"projectUrl":"project/a-charging-cart-to-keep-learning-going/10030293/","projectTitle":"A Charging Cart to Keep Learning Going","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Key","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10407185"},{"teacherId":9348005,"projectId":9987030,"letterContent":"Through all of these different supplies and resources that I've gotten, my students are gonna be able to take their learning to the next level. Often times many of my students are very fidgety and so the Play-Doh and other fidget toys will help with that. These items are placed on the students desks, and they have access to them throughout the class. To help them focus instead of turning to their cell phones.\r\n\r\nI am looking forward to using Legos in the classroom to help them. Learn about United States history. I'm still trying to nail down exactly what I want to do, but I'm thinking it could be a great culminating unit activity where they create something out of Legos regarding a topic which we covered in class.","fullyFundedDate":1767988037383,"projectUrl":"project/us-history-for-the-win/9987030/","projectTitle":"US History for the WIN!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Moulton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9348005_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704739044287","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9348005"},{"teacherId":8123247,"projectId":9998922,"letterContent":"This project has turned my classroom into a small studio where stories begin in students' hands. With LEGO bricks, students build worlds, design sets, and bring ideas to life through stop-motion animation and multimedia storytelling. Each frame they create builds patience, focus, and confidence—one brick, one shot at a time.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, this process is both creative and calming. Working together to animate scenes encourages collaboration, communication, and trust, while giving students a powerful sense of ownership over their work. In a classroom serving primarily low-income students, this project provides more than materials—it offers a space where imagination leads, voices matter, and students can see themselves as creators with something worth sharing.\r\n\r\nThis isn't just about building with LEGO bricks; it's about building belief, resilience, and a future shaped by creativity.","fullyFundedDate":1768158691331,"projectUrl":"project/lego-my-creativity-bricking-news-in-mul/9998922/","projectTitle":"Lego My Creativity: Bricking News in Multimedia!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Reffner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8123247_orig.jpg?crop=401,401,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633814206543","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-reffner"},{"teacherId":9791427,"projectId":9836235,"letterContent":"On behalf of my entire classroom, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your generous support and investment in our students' education.

Seeing the \"aha!\" moment when the physics clicked for them was the highlight of my week.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes first arrived, the energy in the room shifted instantly.

Your contribution made it possible for us to purchase zombie makeup, props, and sound equipment for our fall production. We are deep in rehearsals right now, and these resources are already transforming the experience for my students.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting moments so far was our first makeup workshop. Students were wide-eyed as they experimented with special effects makeup, turning their classmates into creepy, hilarious, and sometimes surprisingly realistic zombies. The props immediately sparked their imaginations, inspiring them to add new layers of physicality and comedy to their performances. The sound equipment has also been a huge hit—students are practicing with microphones for the first time, learning projection, clarity, and timing in ways that make them feel like true professionals on stage.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the makeup kits and props, the room lit up with excitement. One student said, \"I can't believe we get to do this for real!\" That sense of ownership and professionalism is something they will carry with them long after the show closes.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our rehearsals, students are learning their lines, experimenting with character choices, and practicing their stagecraft with these new tools. In November, they will showcase all of their hard work when the curtain rises on our production. None of this would be possible without your support.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you again for helping us bring creativity, laughter, and a touch of zombie mischief to our stage this fall.","fullyFundedDate":1747229115522,"projectUrl":"project/stage-fright-bite-zombie-acting-for/9322708/","projectTitle":"Stage Fright & Bite: Zombie Acting for High School Theatre","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vlaming","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9349166_orig.jpg?crop=879,879,x0,y58&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764634007311","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9349166"},{"teacherId":8142052,"projectId":8793838,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our recent ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ project.

Through this activity, they explored the concepts of potential and kinetic energy, calculating how energy transformed during launch. Seeing their faces light up as their rockets soared was unforgettable and demonstrated just how impactful your donation has been.\r\n\r\nBut the learning doesn't stop there! In the coming weeks, we will be diving into projects on light and circular motion. These upcoming activities will continue to challenge students to apply scientific principles in meaningful, memorable ways. I know these experiences will leave a lasting impression and deepen their understanding of the world around them.\r\n\r\nYour support has made all of this possible, and I can't thank you enough for investing in my students' education.
