  • The Magic Of Rocks, Minerals And Crystals!

    Funded Oct 28, 2008

    Thank you so much for funding our "Magic of Rocks, Crystals and Minerals" project. You can't imagine the impact and difference this will make in my classroom. I can just see how my students' eyes will light up when they get to examine the different rocks and minerals. Making crystals will turn my science classroom into a discovery zone. You have opened the doors to their curiosity and imagination. There may be a future geologist in our mist. I cannot wait to get started and watch them examine everything with their magnifying lenses. Your investment in my students is an investment in the future. There are no words to thank you enough for your wonderful donation.

    Sincerely,

  • Volcanoes In Illinois!

    Funded Oct 21, 2008

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom! My students love science and they particularly love to learn using hands-on activities. Your donation is making this possible. Our typical science curriculum consists of a textbook and worksheets. BORING!!! Who can learn science like that? We will be able to really learn about the earth and landforms with your donation. I can't wait to see the excitement in my students' faces when I show them out new science kits. Thank you again!”

  • Science is Hot Stuff!

    Funded Oct 2, 2008

    I am thrilled, and very thankful, that you have chosen to help fund the hot plates for my classroom. My kids open up to science when it's hands-on...and you have just provided another way for them to become interested and involved in learning!

    Last week, my physical science students did a very simple experiment regarding density where we put raisins in club soda and watched them 'dance'. They were all on task--and many asked legitimate scientific questions. ("What would happen if we put salt in the club soda?" "Why do only some of the raisins float?" "Why do some of them float longer than others?"). Just think of how excited they will be to experience more stunning activities using the hot plates!

    All of my students this year, and students in years to come, will benefit from your generosity! Thank you!

  • Science Exploration

    Funded Oct 14, 2008

    Thank you so much for making a difference in our classroom. We are so excited to receive all of these wonderful science objects. Without you it would not have been possible to integrate science into our curriculum, and make it fun at the same time. It is terrific people like you who make education so much more than reading books at our seats. We will never forget you for opening your heart to our classroom during these difficult times. Words cannot describe how grateful we are!!!

  • Students Can't Learn Science Without Paper

    Funded Nov 24, 2008

    Thank you so much for helping fund my project to get my students paper and composition notebooks. I have been doing research about how well interactive "notebooking" works and actually started with one of my sections to test the waters. I have been pleasantly surprised with how excited and invested students get in their laboratory notebooks. I can truly say that my students will be thankful for your gift as they are truly in need”

  • Rocks And Minerals Science Stations

    Funded Nov 3, 2008

    You are the greatest! We have just exhausted all my rocks and minerals resources, so this comes at the perfect time. I can't thank you enough to help support my class to learn with these great materials. My students are going to expand their learning horizon and all because of you.

    Thank you so much for all the good you are doing.
