These units help us to share science with our students in a fun learning environment. We use these units during our Science centers to reinforce our science concepts. The students also use these units for their science station at guided exploration time. As a teacher who has to create curriculum for my students, these units make this process a little easier. \r\n\r\nI have been teaching for more than 25 years and I am astonished that I have to ask for curriculum to support my Student With Disabilities. I wish our government would see the value in spending tax dollars on curriculum for Students With Disabilities.\r\nYour support is greatly apprecated.","fullyFundedDate":1778023116220,"projectUrl":"project/stem-learning-in-special-needs-preschool/10012682/","projectTitle":"STEM Learning in Special Needs Preschool","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McGrath SoCC","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9492273"},{"teacherId":6621652,"projectId":9839590,"letterContent":"I can not thank you enough for your generous contributions that brought my donors choose project to life.
