Like the butterflies showed us, out of struggle come's learning and growth. \r\n\r\nMeeting Diverse Needs: The project was especially beneficial for students with special needs because it utilized multiple learning styles (\"modalities\")—some learn through reading, some through seeing and some through doing. This project had what my students needed to make the lesson memorable. Your kind gift will last a lifetime.","fullyFundedDate":1729779355749,"projectUrl":"project/growth-mindset-with-butterflies/8846442/","projectTitle":"Growth Mindset with Butterflies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Arocho","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7808446_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739492430456","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7808446"},{"teacherId":4967981,"projectId":9551603,"letterContent":"On behalf of our entire team and students, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous contribution to our program.
