My students have been so excited to embark on hands-on activities using the items purchased through this Donors Choose. \r\n\r\nDuring quarter one, the 6th-grade crafted clay models of the planets in our solar system and used our new solar system model as a reference. The 7th-grade crafted human and animal cells out of clay using our new cell models as a reference. 8th-grade students crafted volcanoes using the National Geographic kits and held a competition to see who could cause the most destructive, contained explosion. \r\n\r\nMy 7th-grade students were especially excited to get their hands on the colorful clay and create accurate cell models. Their models will be preserved and used for educational purposes for years to come, thanks to your generosity!\r\n\r\nThank you for all of your kindness in supporting rural education.","fullyFundedDate":1758546590091,"projectUrl":"project/katahdins-stem-student-supply-scrounge/9652276/","projectTitle":"Katahdin's STEM Student Supply Scrounge","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hannah DeTour","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10225189_orig.png?crop=691,691,x52,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758242063578","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10225189"},{"teacherId":9931806,"projectId":9131936,"letterContent":"My students and I would like to thank you for the snacks, and other items for our classroom.

This organization not only saves valuable time but also creates a calmer, more focused environment.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these items move our classroom forward. Students benefit from a space that is structured, efficient, and supportive of their learning.
