Now my student library has enough seating for the students to enjoy books!\r\n\r\nThis project also added some new release books to my classroom library. I introduce my students to several series of books and they just love them. So it is always a treat to get the new releases from these series.

In first grade we are not always working at our desks.

Not only did their observation skills and sense of wonder increase, but their artistic ability improved by leaps and bounds. Most students claim this was their favorite activity of the school year.\r\nMy goal was to get students engaged in learning science and awaken their curiosity. I taught the Scientific Method which includes observation and asking questions. The students were excited to return to the classroom and see if they could find their discovery on Google and read more about their subject. Students then presented their findings and research to the whole class and we all learned many new things. \r\nThis lesson of using art and discovery was so successful that I plan to continue for future classes.\r\nThis would not have been possible without your support and all of us are very grateful for your donation!","fullyFundedDate":1691201082083,"projectUrl":"project/the-art-of-nature-and-science/7618473/","projectTitle":"The Art of Nature and Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Barbara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8151663_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y694&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745282213516","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8151663"},{"teacherId":6244298,"projectId":9028195,"letterContent":"Thanks you so much for your generous donation.
