Thank you for your donation to make projects like these and many more to come possible!!! In the first 3 weeks of school, we have worked on our creative drawing & coloring skills using Zentangle pictures and book marks with fresh & juicy markers and sharp/vibrant coloring pencils. We used our cups and tape to create 3-D animals, letters, and objects. We then covered them with Gesso & painted designs on them. They had a blast creating these projects and enjoyed showing their friends which one was theirs when it was on display. Thanks for making learning so enjoyable for these kids.","fullyFundedDate":1746461610277,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-it-started-for-artsome-project/9303230/","projectTitle":"Let's Get it Started for ARTsome projects!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Henke","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4189871_orig.jpg?crop=469,470,x0,y4&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673447633110","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4189871"},{"teacherId":4189871,"projectId":9115024,"letterContent":"The kids LOVED making freshies for their teachers...each had a smell they created for a special teacher in mind and made additional ones for other staff at our school.\r\nThis was a great project to show our teachers how much we appreciate them.\r\nThey were able to describe in detail every step of the process and it also taught the kids how to be little entrepreneurs for a product everyone loves.

Your donation made a big difference—not just in terms of materials, but in how my students view learning, problem-solving, and their own potential.\r\n\r\nWhen the robotics kits arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students couldn't wait to dive in, and it didn't take long before the classroom buzzed with collaboration, creativity, and discovery. For many of them, it was their first time building and programming something with their own hands. The sense of accomplishment they felt when their robots moved, turned, or completed a task was unforgettable.\r\n\r\nThese kits helped us explore key STEM concepts in a way that was hands-on, meaningful, and fun. Students learned to code, debug, and think like engineers—all while practicing teamwork and perseverance. One student said, \"I didn't know learning could feel like this—it's like building the future!\"\r\n\r\nYour support gave them more than just supplies; you gave them confidence, curiosity, and a glimpse into what they might become. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for believing in them and investing in their growth.","fullyFundedDate":1737237706751,"projectUrl":"project/wedo-youdowe-want-to-code/9063035/","projectTitle":"Wedo Youdo...We want to code!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9895736"},{"teacherId":4189871,"projectId":9062796,"letterContent":"Our classroom smells like all kinds of fragrances!
