They are able to freshen up in the morning or get supplies throughout the day when they need them. This project also provided an incredible learning opportunity for the students who manage the hygiene closet.

This project will be used throughout the school year to give my 5th and 6th grade students meaningful, hands-on opportunities to explore STEM, creativity, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship.\r\n\r\nOur students are naturally curious and love opportunities to create and experiment. The 3D printer will allow them to move beyond traditional paper-and-pencil assignments and actually see their ideas come to life. Throughout the year, students will learn how to design, test, troubleshoot, revise, and improve their creations. They will develop important skills in measurement, precision, critical thinking, engineering, and perseverance while learning that mistakes are simply part of the design process.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students will be watching something they designed digitally transform into a real object they can hold in their hands. I anticipate that students who sometimes struggle to connect with traditional classroom activities will especially enjoy the hands-on nature of this technology. It will give them an opportunity to explore their creativity, solve authentic problems, and take ownership of something they created themselves.\r\n\r\nAs the year progresses, students will also have opportunities to explore entrepreneurship by creating selected prints that can be sold to help raise funds for school programs. This will help them see that the skills they are learning in the classroom can be applied to real-world situations.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful to our donors for making this opportunity possible. These supplies will allow our students to become designers, engineers, problem-solvers, and creators throughout the school year while building confidence and excitement for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1784044893626,"projectUrl":"project/a-classroom-for-innovation-purposeful-p/10258462/","projectTitle":"A Classroom for Innovation: Purposeful Printing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Montgomery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7875929_orig.jpg?crop=848,848,x0,y141&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755817418041","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7875929"},{"teacherId":9777760,"projectId":9687800,"letterContent":"Our students were excited to begin using the new mixer and blender in our cooking class. These tools have allowed our 5th and 6th grade students to participate in hands-on learning experiences that they would not have had otherwise. One of the first projects we completed with the new equipment was making smoothies and mixing simple batter for baked goods. Students took turns measuring ingredients, blending fruits, and watching how the mixer combined ingredients smoothly. It was a great opportunity for them to practice teamwork, follow step-by-step instructions, and learn basic kitchen skills. Students also made guacamole that they shared with all staff members. \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the mixer and blender, their reactions were full of excitement and curiosity. Many of them had never used kitchen appliances like these before, so they were eager to learn how they worked. They asked questions about the different speeds, safety rules, and what kinds of recipes we could make. Seeing their enthusiasm made the experience even more meaningful, especially knowing that many of our students come from low-income households and may not have access to these tools at home.\r\n\r\nNext, our class will continue building on these skills by exploring new recipes and learning more about nutrition and food preparation. Students will practice measuring, mixing, and blending ingredients while working together in small groups. We are also planning simple cooking projects such as healthy snacks and basic baked items so students can gain confidence in the kitchen. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, our students now have the opportunity to learn practical life skills that they can carry with them beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1767211124197,"projectUrl":"project/power-in-the-mix-teaching-kids-to-cook/9687800/","projectTitle":"Power in the Mix: Teaching Kids to Cook","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coots","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9777760"},{"teacherId":10066495,"projectId":9562346,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting this \"Good Vibes Only\" project!
