Because of your kindness, my students were able to experience learning in a hands-on, meaningful way that simply isn't possible with textbooks alone.\r\n\r\nSeeing and examining the actual bones allowed students to better understand bone structure, joints, and how the human body works as a whole. Concepts that were once abstract became real and engaging. Students were excited, curious and eager to ask questions as they explored the skeletons up close. This experience deepened their understanding and made learning both memorable and fun.\r\n\r\nMy students shared one of the skeletons with the other science class and they were equally excited. My students were truly amazed and appreciative of this opportunity. Your support helped spark curiosity, encouraged deeper thinking and made science come alive in our classroom. The skeletons will continue to impact student learning for years to come. Thank you for investing in my students' education.","fullyFundedDate":1758389024268,"projectUrl":"project/sammy-the-saucy-skeleton/9590361/","projectTitle":"Sammy the Saucy Skeleton","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5005128_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755299773946","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5005128"},{"teacherId":8230134,"projectId":9502513,"letterContent":"It is with great appreciation that I submit this message to you, our donors and patron supporters, to humbly express how impactful you are.

This incredible gift has had a profound impact on our students, allowing them to bring their ideas to life in ways we never thought possible. The printer has opened up new avenues for creativity and innovation, enabling students to design and create custom parts for their robots, enhancing both their understanding and application of engineering principles.\r\n\r\nBeyond the technical skills, the 3D printer has fostered a sense of ownership and pride in our students. They are now able to physically see their designs come to life, making their learning experience more engaging and rewarding. The process of designing, testing, and iterating has helped students develop critical problem-solving and collaboration skills, which will serve them well in both their academic and future professional careers.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our robotics program has seen a noticeable increase in student engagement and success. We are able to offer them hands-on experiences that make abstract concepts more tangible, and we've witnessed a boost in their confidence and enthusiasm for STEM. Your donation has made an immeasurable difference, and we are excited to continue building upon this foundation for years to come.
