The 3D pens have opened up a world of imagination and innovation for my students.\r\n\r\nStudents who once struggled to stay engaged are now excited to bring their ideas to life designing 3D models, building geometric shapes, and illustrating concepts from science, art, and technology. They're learning problem solving, teamwork, and patience as they create and explore through 3D design.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact inspiring my students to dream bigger, think deeper, and learn by doing. On behalf of all of us, thank you for believing in our project and helping us doodle our way into learning.","fullyFundedDate":1748298018833,"projectUrl":"project/lets-doodle-our-way-into-learning-with-3/9132743/","projectTitle":"Lets Doodle Our Way Into Learning with 3Dpens","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9499648"},{"teacherId":1402577,"projectId":9711472,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our project, I Need My Monster – Monster Engineering Challenge! Your support helped spark creativity and excitement in our classroom. After listening to the story, the students used a graphic organizer to describe Gabe the monster in detail. Then, they let their imaginations run wild as we brainstormed what features we'd want in our very own monsters.\r\n\r\nAfter exploring the story and imagining their ideal monster, students dove into the Engineering Design Process to bring their own creations to life! They reviewed the available materials and thoughtfully planned their designs. Each student sketched and labeled a drawing of their personal monster, carefully considering its features and personality. Then came the best part—they transformed their ideas into real, tangible monsters using the supplies provided. The classroom was buzzing with creativity and joy!\r\n\r\nOnce their monsters were complete, each student proudly shared their creation with the class, describing its unique features and personality. The excitement was contagious! At the end of the day, they were thrilled to take their personal monsters home and share them with their families—a perfect way to celebrate their creativity and hard work.","fullyFundedDate":1758122695197,"projectUrl":"project/i-need-my-monster-monster-engineering/9711472/","projectTitle":"I Need My Monster – Monster Engineering Challenge","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Neylon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1402577"},{"teacherId":1402577,"projectId":9133227,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support! Our class has been using Squishy Circuits to explore electricity in a fun, hands-on way. The students have really enjoyed learning about electric circuits using dough, LED bulbs, and batteries.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen I first brought out the Squishy Circuit boxes, the students were full of curiosity — they couldn't wait to find out what they were. I explained that we'd be investigating how electric circuits work, and their excitement grew immediately.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe older students experimented independently, testing different configurations and problem-solving as they went. The younger students started by building circuits together as a whole group, and then worked in small teams to try their own ideas.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe activity has been a huge success — students keep asking to use the Squishy Circuits again! It's been a fantastic way to spark curiosity, creativity, and collaboration while learning about the science of electricity.","fullyFundedDate":1748283199684,"projectUrl":"project/using-playdough-to-make-circuits/9133227/","projectTitle":"Using playdough to make circuits!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Neylon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1402577"},{"teacherId":7063630,"projectId":9335426,"letterContent":"These metal storage cabinets are a great asset for our class by offering several practical benefits tailored to create a safe, organized, and supportive learning environment.
