The pencils have, obviously, gone to use in creating artwork, and it's been wonderful to have a supply that I don't have to worry about running out of. Keeping them in the organizer has allowed students to have autonomy over getting their materials, including returning pencils that need to be sharpened, thus helping us keep track of everything as a whole group. It's worked seamlessly and I am so grateful to these donations. Your help keeps us going! :)","fullyFundedDate":1782398561527,"projectUrl":"project/sketching-up-a-storm/10186554/","projectTitle":"Sketching Up a Storm!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Peterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2970147_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1547769561312","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/petersont1"},{"teacherId":2970147,"projectId":10178793,"letterContent":"Yesterday we dove into our first major painting lesson, and it was a huge success. The new paintbrushes were a hit: so many students expressed joy at getting to be the first ones to \"dye\" the bristles as they painted. The long, clear handles are excellent for students of all levels to hold, and provide a good reach so that they can access colors and water cups from a further distance than before. The paints themselves are super bright, and again, students were gleeful at being able to use new materials.

Many of the materials in this project have already been used to create meaningful, engaging STEM projects for our students. Students have enthusiastically jumped into our project-based learning units this school year, and they are demonstrating both creativity and critical thinking as they apply what they've learned in the classroom to solve real-world problems. In fact, elementary students have even been able to recreate simplified versions of our \"Samsung National Finalist\" adaptive video game controller project. In addition to the project-specific supplies, we were also able to create non-consumable \"STEM bins\" thanks to your donation that can be used repeatedly in a variety of contexts.\r\n\r\nIn addition to STEM-specific supplies, we have also been able to improve our extracurricular and SEL offerings at school. For example, thanks to your support of this project, we were able to create a \"Brain Lab\" space in our school. The Brain Lab serves as a dedicated place where students can visit to help improve their self-regulation skills when experiencing stressful emotions. Additionally, we were able to buy additional supplies for our Esports club, which helped inspire our original Samsung Solve for Tomorrow project.\r\n\r\nThis year, we have seen students truly take ownership of their learning, speak positively about school, and most importantly speak positively about themselves as their confidence grows. We are truly grateful for your support. It is making a difference in the lives of many students!","fullyFundedDate":1747933192675,"projectUrl":"project/stem-success-samsung-solve-for-tomorrow/9262330/","projectTitle":"STEM Success: Samsung Solve for Tomorrow","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mitch Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7855718_orig.jpg?crop=418,418,x170,y288&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1637114775797","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7855718"},{"teacherId":7855718,"projectId":9308593,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support! My students and I feel truly blessed by your donation.\r\n\r\nThe project supplies have already had a positive impact in our school by improving our \"brain lab\". The brain lab serves as a safe space to allow students to self-regulate when experiencing stressful emotions, and it has been a welcome addition to the school. If a student is having a rough day, they know they can ask to \"chill\" in the brain lab for a bit and play with a fidget toy, squeeze a stress ball, or draw in the coloring book. This allows the student to learn how to self-regulate and process their emotions in a healthy way.\r\n\r\nThanks again for your donation.
