We were able to acquire a wonderful machine called an XTool. This machine can engrave any image on almost any surface. It has helped the students create artwork that will live on for years. They wrote a letter to their mothers for Mother's Day. We engraved the letters onto cutting boards. The mothers were very touched and several students reported that their mothers cried upon reading the letters. Please see image for an example of a letter. The students also created logos that we engraved on dog tags. The students were amazed by the power and endless possibilities of our XTool engraver. It has been an amazing addition to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1743287051703,"projectUrl":"project/lasers-and-learning/9201313/","projectTitle":"Lasers and Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Olivia Guevara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1150745_orig.png?crop=281,281,x76,y117&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659844376957","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/oguevara"},{"teacherId":1150745,"projectId":9195684,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating to our project.

They are excited to know that they get to write margin notes on their very own copy of the book/s. \r\nParents appreciate that their kids are learning to annotate by writing margin notes on their own copy of the books we will be reading. One parent expressed to me that he loves that his daughter and the whole class is doing something in fourth grade that they will be doing in college.
