Your kindness has already made a huge impact on my students and our science curriculum.\r\n\r\nWe just completed our water bottle rockets, and this new tool was the star of the show! In the past, cutting precise shapes from cardboard for 40+ students was a job I had to do myself, long after the school day ended. This time, everything was different.\r\n\r\nThe Chomp Saw is an amazing tool that not only saved me, the teacher, time, but it also allowed my students to feel grown up being able to use the saw themselves. They were so proud of themselves for cutting out the wings for their water bottle rockets. It's safe and age-appropriate, which allowed the students true ownership over their engineering project from start to finish.\r\n\r\nYou can see the looks of concentration and pride on their faces! They weren't just \"doing a craft\"; they were engineers using a real tool to solve a problem. Your donation provided so much more than a piece of equipment—it provided confidence, hands-on learning, and a memory they will never forget.\r\n\r\nWe are so excited to use the Chomp Saw for many more STEM challenges and creative projects to come. We are incredibly grateful for your support of our classroom.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1758136183181,"projectUrl":"project/engineering-excellence-sawing-our-way-t/9646775/","projectTitle":"Engineering Excellence: Sawing Our Way to Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4238404_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506772937425","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4238404"},{"teacherId":4238404,"projectId":9324064,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and for supporting our students' education!\r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled to put on their new lab coats during science time. The moment they wore them, they truly felt like real scientists. We've already used them in one of our first labs, where students observed apples, created detailed drawings, and labeled their work in their science journals. The coats added a special sense of excitement and importance to the activity.\r\n\r\nSince then, students have been eagerly exploring with a variety of science tools, and their engagement has increased tremendously. This week, they will begin the engineering design process by creating paintbrushes out of everyday materials like feathers, pom-poms, popsicle sticks, and string. They will design, build, test, and improve their creations—a lesson that always becomes a highlight of the year.\r\n\r\nAs a STEAM Gold school, we participate in many hands-on projects, and these lab coats will continue to make each experience even more meaningful and memorable.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and for making such a difference in our classroom.
