From magnifying glasses to measuring tools and simple experiments, our classroom has come alive with curiosity. Seeing their eyes light up as they observe insects, test what floats or sinks, or simply explore nature up close has been nothing short of magical.\r\n\r\nYou didn't just donate equipment—you invested in wonder. You showed our students that science is for everyone, including them, and that their questions matter. For many of our children, this may be their first hands-on experience with science, and because of you, it won't be their last.\r\n\r\nYour kindness reminds us all that community matters, and that when people come together to support education, amazing things happen.","fullyFundedDate":1742256834006,"projectUrl":"project/scientific-artifacts/9179612/","projectTitle":"Scientific Artifacts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dynes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2722915_orig.png?crop=538,538,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1671660823223","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-dynes"},{"teacherId":2722915,"projectId":9082171,"letterContent":"So much fun happening out on the Charnock play yard!

Some students enjoy putting the stumps in numerical order, while others find enjoyment with sorting the stumps according to their attributes (a UTK standard!).

For instance, Melanie has been captivated by the stories with girl hair styles, often sharing her favorite passages with her classmates, which has sparked lively discussions during our reading circles. Similarly, Lucina, who previously struggled with communicating, has found immense joy in the colorful illustrations and familiar musical sounds which speaks to her unique way of expressing herself.
