My students have been using these resources to explore the intersection of art and science, experimenting with color theory, texture, and even engineering principles as they construct and display their work. One particularly exciting project has been our \"Scientific Landscapes\" unit, where students research different ecosystems and then bring them to life through painting. Watching them mix colors to capture the hues of a coral reef or the shadows of a dense rainforest has been truly inspiring. \r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their excitement was palpable. Their eyes lit up as they unpacked the new paint sets, eagerly flipping through brushes and setting up their easels. Many students immediately started discussing ideas, from abstract designs to detailed nature scenes, thrilled by the possibility of working with high-quality materials. For some, it was their first time using acrylic paint, and they were amazed by the vibrant colors and versatility of the medium. \r\n\r\nWith these new tools, our next steps involve integrating art into our STEAM curriculum even further. Currently, students are preparing for a collaborative mural that will represent different scientific concepts we've studied throughout the year—ranging from the solar system to biological life cycles. This project will allow them to work together, combining their knowledge and artistic expression to create something meaningful and educational. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, our classroom has become a space where creativity and innovation thrive!","fullyFundedDate":1715090216556,"projectUrl":"project/adding-color-to-our-school-by-painting/8335713/","projectTitle":"Adding Color To Our School By Painting!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flaherty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7511137_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y635&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699198226660","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7511137"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44764","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":688,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":56.3,"schoolId":44764,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lynn Haven Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lynn Haven Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/bay-county-school-district/lynn-haven-elementary-school/44764"}
