My students were able to use the resources and tools we received to discover new things. Their favorite science activity is taking the tools out to the playground and exploring. \r\nNot only did the donations enrich their science experience, it also helped to expand their vocabulary and fine motor skills. So many things are done on computers, I was so excited to give them hands on experiences. We used the tweezers and tubes to collect samples from the playground and then investigate them (rocks, grass, flowers) in the classroom.\r\nI think we have some future scientists among us.","fullyFundedDate":1701094722195,"projectUrl":"project/little-people-big-investigations/7705436/","projectTitle":"Little People Big Investigations","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dennis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9203822"},{"teacherId":262970,"projectId":9212341,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity.

Your contribution has made a meaningful impact on both my students and our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, we were able to purchase a book and stuffed animal to go along with it. The excitement and curiosity I know I will see in my students as they engage with these new resources is truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nYour support not only enhanced our curriculum but will also remind my students that there are people who believe in their potential and care about their education. That lesson is just as valuable as the tools your donation provided.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us in Mrs. Simmons' classroom, thank you for being a part of our learning journey.

My scholars and I were so excited when our materials got delivered. This project helped me to keep my wonderful scholars engaged in their learning and keeping them motivated. I was able to add a lot of new, fun and engaging activities to our daily learning. With the Teacherspayteachers gift card I was able to buy some fun, hands on activities. I was able to print and create wonderful hands-on activities where my scholars are able to build words instead of just writing them with a pencil something a little different to keep their hands and minds engaged in the ongoing work and activities.
