This kind of immediate, individualized support simply isn't possible with pencil-and-paper practice alone.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is watching their \"Smart Scores\" climb as they improve.

The cost to purchase these essential things is too great for me to do alone, so as an educator, I appreciate your support greatly. \r\n\r\nWe have already used our new paper to make the beautiful fall trees that are now hanging outside our classroom.

Although the original supplies were unavailable when the project was funded, I was able to select materials that truly enhanced our learning in a new way. With your generosity, my students created STEAM Viewfinders; simple, hands-on tools that help them focus their attention and see the world around them with curiosity and purpose.\r\n\r\nThrough this project, students learned to \"zoom in\" like scientists and artists, noticing shapes, patterns, and textures they might have otherwise walked right past. We took our viewfinders outside to observe nature, used them indoors to explore design and structure, and discussed how changing our perspective can help us think more creatively. The excitement on their faces as they held up their personalized viewfinders and shouted, \"Look what I found!\" was a great moment.\r\n\r\nThis activity will continue throughout the year as we connect it to future STEAM lessons. Each time we use the viewfinders, students are reminded that observation is the first step in innovation.
