Now, whenever students are doing experiments, they put on their safety glasses with excitement and pride, just like real scientists. This simple resource has elevated the way we approach experiments and has helped us strengthen our commitment to our motto \" Safety is First!\"\r\nOne of the first memorable moments was during a fifth-grade experiment on chemical reactions using vinegar and baking soda. As soon as the students put on their safety glasses, their confidence grew, They leaned closer , observed more carefully, and asked thoughtful questions because they knew they were protected. Many students even commented, \"We look like real scientists!\" The sense of professionalism and ownership in the lab was unmistakable. \r\nThe first day the safety glasses arrived, the excitement was contagious. Students line up eagerly to try them on and admired themselves in the mirror, giggling ang and cheering. Their reactions showed us how something as small as protective eyewear can spark curiosity, joy, and pride in learning.\r\nThe wipes also help in keeping our science areas clean after our experiments.","fullyFundedDate":1746699623697,"projectUrl":"project/stem-lab-safety/9045368/","projectTitle":"STEM Lab Safety","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Makombe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9309867"},{"teacherId":9890762,"projectId":9045391,"letterContent":"Felt story boards may seem simple, but their impact in my classroom will be anything but. These interactive tools will completely transform the way my students engage with literacy and storytelling. In a resource classroom like mine, where many students face unique learning challenges, hands-on learning isn't just helpful—it's necessary. These felt boards will allow my students to physically interact with the material, which helps them stay focused, retain information better, and build confidence in their learning abilities.\r\n\r\nRight now, many of the tools in our classroom are basic and limited. We do our best with what we have, but the truth is, it's hard to meet the needs of every student without access to the right resources. My students are bright, imaginative, and eager to learn, but they often struggle with traditional reading and writing activities. Felt story boards will give them a whole new way to express themselves and connect with stories. By touching, moving, and creating scenes with the felt pieces, they'll be actively participating in the learning process instead of just observing it.\r\n\r\nThese story boards will also help build critical foundational skills. My students will work on sequencing, vocabulary, comprehension, and storytelling—all while using their imagination and creativity. For my students with speech or language delays, the visual prompts will support communication and help build their confidence. For my students who are on the autism spectrum or have ADHD, the tactile nature of the boards will provide a calming way to stay engaged and focused during lessons.\r\n\r\nAnother powerful aspect of these boards is that they'll promote collaborative learning. Students can work together to retell familiar stories, act out social scenarios, or even create their own original tales. This kind of teamwork helps build social skills, problem-solving abilities, and emotional understanding. Watching students light up as they bring a story to life with their hands—that's the kind of magic I want to bring into our room every day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity will make that possible. By donating to this project, you are helping create a classroom environment where every student feels included, supported, and capable of success. You're not just giving felt and fabric—you're giving confidence to the quiet learner, excitement to the struggling reader, and joy to every child who walks through my door. These boards will be used day after day, year after year, benefiting countless students along the way.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in public education and for supporting teachers and students who are doing their best with what they have. Your gift will leave a lasting impact not just on this project, but on the lives of the amazing kids I have the privilege of teaching.","fullyFundedDate":1742582675668,"projectUrl":"project/felt-storyboards-hands-on-fun-for-excep/9045391/","projectTitle":"Felt Storyboards: Hands-On Fun for Exceptional Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dunn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9890762_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745511263703","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9890762"},{"teacherId":3865880,"projectId":8945101,"letterContent":"We have spent the last few months creating a cleaner and more germ-free classroom!
