The new cage was also much more spacious and allowed the ferrets to live more comfortably with each other. \r\n The students are all very ecstatic to see and receive the materials. All the students also greatly enjoyed helping assemble and setting up all the ferret materials and are very thankful for the materials that help the ferrets live comfortably. \r\n As the students continue to care for the ferrets, many years of zoology students will benefit from the hands on care of these engaging little mammals.","fullyFundedDate":1746785796471,"projectUrl":"project/ferret-class-pet/9046933/","projectTitle":"Ferret Class Pet","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Palmer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9741617"},{"teacherId":9741617,"projectId":9339063,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our recent salt dough Earth Science projects. Because of your contribution, our students were able to explore Earth science in a hands-on and engaging way. They worked together to build their own volcano models, shaping the salt dough, painting each layer, and observing how volcanic eruptions can occur. The room was filled with excitement, curiosity, and plenty of proud smiles.\r\n\r\nThis project didn't just make science fun—it helped students make meaningful connections to the concepts we will continue studying throughout the year. By constructing and observing their volcanoes, they deepened their understanding of geological processes, landforms, and the dynamic nature of our planet. The experience will provide a strong foundation as we move forward into more complex Earth science topics.\r\n\r\nWe are sincerely grateful for your support. Your generosity has made a lasting impact on our classroom and has helped inspire a love of learning in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1754321706789,"projectUrl":"project/build-the-earth-with-your-own-hands/9339063/","projectTitle":"Build the Earth With Your Own Hands","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Palmer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9741617"},{"teacherId":9741617,"projectId":8759085,"letterContent":"The molecular model kits have really made a huge impact on our student's ability to understand the structure of the molecules that make up living things.

This has since allowed them to visualize biomolecules much more completely than they otherwise could. \r\n \r\nBeing able to put these models together themselves, the students were very excited, and couldn't wait to get started.
