With your unwavering support and unconditional commitment, my students were able to have a hands on experience using clay to model the architectural designs from Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as creatively learn how to determine the area of shapes using the geoboards to assist with counting square units.\r\n\r\nThis project was not only insightful, but it unleashed creativity within our classroom. Students were able to use their minds to extend their knowledge beyond the norm. They created some of their own designs as well as modeled designs displayed to them within the content being taught. Without your support this wouldn't have been possible. Thank you for your generosity. It is not taken lightly. Thank you for igniting a passion in my students to use models and inspire those within our space. \r\n\r\nThis school year will truly be one I will always remember. Thank you for your support toward a community of students who are so deserving and worthy of learning and developing.
