Come on, peeps! Between October 10 and November 9, the LabSpaces crew is recruiting donations for DonorsChoose. Please chip in whatever you can - and really, can't we all manage a couple bucks? - and we'll be able to fund some really worthwhile projects for elementary school classrooms. Pick a classroom project from the list to support.
This is just a small expression of my thanks for your donations to my project. Without your donations, I would not have been able to get the aquarium for my classroom. An aquarium is an added feature in a preschool classroom, and not something deemed necessary for their education.
However, since the addition of the aquarium into my classroom, the children in my class have received so much more learning than they would have gotten without it. They have been able to observe the frogs live in their habitat; they have commented on changes in the frogs' growth; and they have observed the differences between the individual frogs. All of these observations have enhanced their learning in the classroom.
Again, thank you so much for your generous donations to my project. Your participation has greatly enhanced my children's educational experience.”
I'm writing to thank you again for you generosity. The class set of lab coats and clipboards you donated have allowed my students to not only feel like real scientists, but also to do labs that we were previously unable to do.
I teach in an urban school district; in such a setting financial constraints mean safety and teaching aids like these lab coats and clipboards are ordinarily out of reach. Your donation has allowed our class to overcome these constraints, and the foundational safety and confidence my students now have will in turn enable them to succeed in high school and beyond.
Thank you so much for your generosity, it truly is an inspiration, from myself and my 140 scientists.”
With gratitude,

Once the material arrived; I introduced my students to the interesting science we will be doing in class. Just looking and the materials caused a stir. My students were so excited and ready to begin learning about science right then and there. I allowed my students to pick what activity and materials we would do first. The decision was unanimous; all of the children wanted to figure what would sink and what would float.
The following day we began with the sink or float activity. Every child was engaged in every aspect of the experiment and the collection of data. When I say every child; I also mean my ELL students and my inclusion students. All of the children were full of questions, observations, and ideas concerning the experiment.
Seeing these children so excited about learning about science and ready to come back to school the next day; was heart warming. My 21 students are all excited about learning all the new things this material will help me teach to these children. The children of my class have been telling all of their friends at school about what we do in our classroom. This has gotten all of the other first graders excited about science. Now that the whole grade level is excited; I am going to try and involve the other first grade classes in learning about science. So not only are my 21 students impacted from all this wonderful materials 6 other classes will now also have the opportunity to benefit from this material. Six other classes will get to share in the excitement in learning about science.”

Thank you to all the wonderful donors that helped make this project a reality. I know my students will be inspired and motivated to participate in scientific experiments, ask questions, research, or use their observation skills. You all have given these students an opportunity to touch and hold science in their hands rather then read about it in a book. I am very excited to post pictures of my class using these microscopes, discussing their findings, taking their stories home to their families... Thank you for your generosity.”
With gratitude,
