It took a lot of filament just to learn how to use the 3D pens and it is wonderful to have enough filament to build new projects this semester. We will begin examining objects with the microscope for them to build 3D models of now that they have the skills with the 3D pen. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and support so my students can have these experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1760734764998,"projectUrl":"project/i-see-it-i-build-it/9689712/","projectTitle":"I See It, I Build It","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gasperecz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6031105_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1541101698314","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6031105"},{"teacherId":4159410,"projectId":9548701,"letterContent":"Our new Lakeshore Carpet in calming colors has already proven to be such an asset to our classroom!

Students are also able to wiggle and move during brain break times and sit in a comfortable area when learning and working.

Building a STEAM Theme park was an absolute favorite activity for Kindergartners through 5th graders. The 5th graders surprised me because I thought they may not be into it since the pieces are bigger and designed for smaller hands. But there were different levels of building options so they could choose the level that fit their abilities and interests. It was wonderful to see them build, then play with their creations. \r\n\r\nI think we forget about the benefits of play in school. We are so standards and curriculum focused that play gets overlooked as a learning experience. These materials help to bring play into my labs and bring students a fun learning experience, regardless of their age or ability level.
