I do believe they actually broke into a cheer!\r\nMy students absolutely loved drawing and painting in them. I told them about your generosity, and they couldn't believe it. Thank you so much for bringing this awesome experience to my class this year. We plan on using a variety of art materials in our sketch book. Bringing art into the classroom is so important. It allows my students to express themselves. Thank you for giving that to them.","fullyFundedDate":1746889539371,"projectUrl":"project/seeking-our-inner-artist/9272005/","projectTitle":"Seeking Our Inner Artist","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Strattner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp920_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1539728520370","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-strattner"},{"teacherId":7148353,"projectId":8635420,"letterContent":"The grant you funded allows our students the opportunity to understand their electricity and circuit unit in a way they never could before.

They can re-follow the steps to make sure the connection is correct and the lights work.\r\n\r\nThe ownership and pride they feel and will feel when THEIR creation lights their own show is immeasurable.
