This project allowed me to create lesson plans leveled to all students, not just those with an educational background. Thanks to your donations, I was able to do this in a way that did not make them feel elementary in the creations or in the lesson objectives. \r\nMy students have truly appreciated the chance to get to create with such wonderful tools and variety. I, as their teacher have been able to appreciate the joy on their faces and the pride they take in their work. We have all cultivated such valuable relationships through this project.
