Your contribution is making a real and lasting impact.\r\n\r\nWith this technology, our students are turning their ideas into tangible creations. The 3D printer is not just a tool; it's a gateway to creativity, innovation, and critical thinking. Students are exploring engineering concepts, experimenting with design, and learning from both their successes and challenges.\r\n\r\nFor our gifted and talented learners, opportunities like this are essential. They thrive when given the space to imagine, create, and push boundaries—and your support makes that possible. You are helping nurture curiosity, confidence, and a passion for discovery that will stay with them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your generosity and belief in our students. Thank you for empowering the next generation of thinkers, creators, and innovators.","fullyFundedDate":1770999958837,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-stem-ideas-to-life-with-3d-prin/10032640/","projectTitle":"Bringing STEM Ideas to Life with 3D Printing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Terrell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9347182"},{"teacherId":9224514,"projectId":9997636,"letterContent":"My students are enjoying their math games and sharpening their math skills in the process!

Students learned about a variety of animals that would be great pets. They use the magnet tiles and magnet blocks that your donation provided to create a safe enclosure for those animals to live as a pet. They used the wiki sticks to develop fine motor skills by bending the sticks to create different pets and spelling out the name of that pet. Then they learned how to spell the word 'pet' through a catchy song that they were able to use the juggling scarves to dance to.

The emotion blocks have helped us see what different emotions look like and learn to recognize them in others. When we see how others are feeling, we can use our skills to help them through their emotions. Thank you again for your support in allowing us to learn about emotions and coping skills!

We have a very diverse population at Steele Elementary. Our families come from every region you can think of. Along with this, come a wide variety of languages spoken. The state of Nevada requires that all English language learners be tested yearly in a language test that involves reading, listening, speaking and writing. If a student shows proficiency, they are exited from the status of English Language Learner. Every year, without fail, our most challenging part of the test is the speaking portion. Some students are not confident in their ability to convey their message through the spoken word. We practice with the students regularly and try to give them practice and confidence in their oral delivery. \r\nHowever, we have very old equipment. We have old Chromebooks and even older headphones, most of which do not have the microphone for the speaking test. The headphones that were provided are of great quality and the students found it to be a treat to use! Even though we are still working on improving their speaking skills, along with all the other domains, we no longer have to worry about how the speakers and microphone will record their performance. The whole school is happy with this donation, and they all thank you sincerely.","fullyFundedDate":1771365503632,"projectUrl":"project/second-language-learners/10049817/","projectTitle":"Second Language Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shipman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10415351"},{"teacherId":6413720,"projectId":10000814,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for all of the social-emotional resources that were purchased for my students.

Some of my students who are usually more hesitant became more involved because they had something tangible to work with and build from. It's been exciting to watch them collaborate, problem-solve, and feel proud of what they're creating. These materials have truly helped to make learning real and personal for them.\r\n\r\nAs we continue with our current lessons and projects, my students will keep using these resources to strengthen their ideas, deepen their learning, and grow their confidence.
