Your support allows us to enhance our learning environment with a color printer, laminator, and laminating sheets — resources that are vital for inspiring curiosity and fostering hands-on exploration.\r\n\r\nSince this project was fulfilled so quickly, we are just beginning our science fair projects. To help guide our students, I printed two of last year's science fair boards as exemplars, showing them where to paste components on their own mini boards. This visual reference has been very helpful as they start their projects and learn to present their work.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, I have started replacing our old Everglades Literacy animal cards with vibrant, high-quality prints that we have laminated for durability. This new material helps make the lessons more engaging and visually appealing for the students, enriching their learning experience.\r\n\r\nI also took the opportunity to create and laminate items specifically for my students with autism, so they can participate more fully in the Everglades Literacy lessons alongside their peers. These tailored materials are making a meaningful difference by providing equal opportunities for participation and learning.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our classroom has become a more colorful, engaging, and inclusive space where students can explore, create, and thrive in their STEM and environmental education. Your generosity makes a true impact on our students' lives, and we are deeply thankful.","fullyFundedDate":1751081057628,"projectUrl":"project/creating-printing-and-preserving-stem/9421041/","projectTitle":"Creating, Printing, and Preserving STEM Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schuler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10058816_orig.jpg?crop=4640,4640,x0,y1160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750241042076","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10058816"},{"teacherId":9562317,"projectId":8696720,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my classroom library.

It is hard to find a love for reading with just informational texts , so my goal was to start building a library that any young 1st grader would love. \r\nWith your donation I was able to get book shelves, book bins as well as so many books!
