When the students first saw the rug they were so excited to get to use it. By fostering an environment where students can design and build their own projects, we are cultivating creative problem-solving skills that are essential for their future success.\r\n\r\nMoreover, your donation will help us promote teamwork and communication through collaborative projects and activities. This collaborative spirit is crucial in preparing our students for careers in STEM-related fields, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in these areas.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is truly making a difference, and we are excited to see the positive outcomes that will emerge from this project.","fullyFundedDate":1754456287077,"projectUrl":"project/stem-lab-gets-a-face-lift/9449061/","projectTitle":"Stem Lab Gets a Face Lift!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Armentrout","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1066068"},{"teacherId":1644590,"projectId":9109271,"letterContent":"I would like to thank you for your generous donations that enabled my students to have an amazing Earth Day experience.

It's wonderful to see their creativity and imaginations soar.\r\n\r\nThe students were elated to see all the different items that we received through this project.

We have just finished up blends and are moving into our diagraphs. We purchased a word hunt game where they have to sift through sand to find and read the words with blends or diagraphs.
