Thank you for choosing our classroom to help students create vibrant pieces of art that coincide with the lessons that we are doing in our class. For this submission, I will be sharing student work that showcases their talents, as well as their understanding of the water cycle. A process that is undoubtedly very confusing for many students. With the illustrations of the cycle, it is my firm belief that their learning of the stages of the water cycle will stay with them throughout their lives.\r\n\r\nUpon receiving the new materials, students were awed by the amount of creative materials they would be able to use for our content related concepts they were learning. Not only did one exclaim, \"I don't think I've seen that many colored pencils in one box,\" another student started waving his hands and smiled the biggest smile I had seen him show! I have to say, I, equally, smiled at the sheer joy of receiving the gift of your donations. Oftentimes, these expenses come out of our pockets, leaving us short on other items. It is through donors like you, that we can bring learning alive through art. \r\n\r\nIn the days ahead and hopefully for the next couple of years, these materials will continue to enhance the learning opportunities in my class and to truly allow students to take pride in their creations either individually or in cooperative learning groups. I have thoroughly reminded students of the value of these gifts and that we must take care, to take great care of them so that they will last. \r\n\r\nWith the utmost sincerity, thank you from the bottom of my heart.","fullyFundedDate":1741797202944,"projectUrl":"project/help-students-bring-their-creative-imagi/8982149/","projectTitle":"Help Students Bring their Creative Imaginations Alive!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gleason","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5115221_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516838402091","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5115221"},{"teacherId":8548855,"projectId":8832927,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions to my DonorsChoose project!
