Thanks to your generosity, my students now have all the sticky tools they need to bring their wild ideas to life (and sometimes keep them from falling apart mid-build).\r\n\r\nThe glue guns have been an absolute game-changer. My students are now officially experts at sticking things together—sometimes where they're supposed to go, and sometimes... well, let's just say it's all part of the process! Whether it's securing parts or fixing a design disaster, they're learning the value of persistence and problem-solving. They've discovered that their original ideas don't always work, but with a little creativity—and a LOT of glue—they can make changes to make it work.","fullyFundedDate":1744033103028,"projectUrl":"project/glue-guns-robots-stickin-it-together/9127876/","projectTitle":"Glue Guns & Robots: Stickin' It Together!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3025090_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y633&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755869623252","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3025090"},{"teacherId":3025090,"projectId":8983371,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom with something that might look like a simple roll of plastic... but is actually a magical spool of possibility. Thanks to you, our 3D printer is no longer sitting in the corner looking sad and underutilized—it's now humming with purpose and spitting out future innovations, one glorious layer at a time.\r\n\r\nThis filament is teaching my students how to go from idea to design to physical object—and how to troubleshoot every single way things can go hilariously wrong along the way. But hey—that's learning!\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students get to explore engineering, problem-solving, creativity, and perseverance in the most hands-on way possible. They're not just watching—they're designing, building, breaking, reprinting, and (eventually) succeeding. The confidence and excitement that comes from seeing something they made appear on the printer bed? Absolutely priceless.

I can not even describe the relief I feel when I shipment from you all reaches my classroom.\r\n I also relish in the joy in the eyes of my students when they realize that I am able to help them curb their hunger. I doesn't have to be much to put a smile on their faces! Our generous community helps out too, but the amount of need in our rural town outweighs our resources many times over.

The large, high-definition screen makes it easier for everyone to see educational videos, presentations, and interactive lessons, ensuring that no student is left struggling to read small text or follow along. With screen mirroring capabilities, I can display student work instantly, allowing for real-time feedback and class discussions. This technology has made learning more dynamic and accessible, catering to different learning styles by incorporating visual and multimedia elements. \r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting aspects of this new addition is how it has enhanced collaboration. Students are more eager to participate in lessons, whether through interactive quizzes, virtual field trips, or group projects displayed on the big screen. It has also encouraged more student-led discussions, as they feel confident presenting their ideas to the class. The ability to integrate educational apps and online resources has brought subjects to life, making even the most challenging topics more engaging. \r\n\r\nSome students have especially embraced this technology, particularly those who thrive with visual and hands-on learning. For example, one student who previously struggled with reading comprehension now follows along more easily when text is displayed alongside images and videos. \r\n\r\nOverall, the TV has created a more inclusive and interactive classroom environment, helping every student feel more connected to their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1733286167540,"projectUrl":"project/level-up-learning-a-58-inch-tv-for-our/8868151/","projectTitle":"Level Up Learning: A 58-Inch TV for Our Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Free","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9798992"},{"teacherId":6098316,"projectId":8993313,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for allowing us to help the kids in The Calls program by giving them the necessities that all kids need when they move into a new home environment.
