As a school we are able to use the materials to create bulletin boards throughout the school. The students and teachers were excited to get the news that our Cricut is up and running. I would like to start a Cricut club with some students to teach a select few how to run the Cricut and allow them to be the ones that do the creating for teachers and students. I would also like to have them create items to sell in our student store, to fundraise money for the school.","fullyFundedDate":1768653161094,"projectUrl":"project/cutting-edge-learning-empowering-studen/10023243/","projectTitle":"Cutting Edge Learning: Empowering Students Through Design","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Donmore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp320228_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1532542488105","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-donmore"},{"teacherId":9350557,"projectId":9996317,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our Kindergarten classroom at William V. Wright Elementary School in Las Vegas. Your generosity is making a meaningful difference for our young learners as they build essential skills in reading, math, and social development.\r\n\r\nBecause of your gift, our students now have access to important learning tools like headphones for literacy activities, Ticonderoga pencils and classroom supplies for writing, engaging literacy and math games, and social-emotional resources that help them understand their feelings and build positive relationships. For many of our students, these materials are only available at school, making your support even more impactful.\r\n\r\nWe especially love using the writing boards during our Tier II small group instruction each day. They have quickly become a favorite tool, helping students practice their writing skills in a hands-on, interactive way that builds both confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is helping ensure that all students in our Title I classroom—many from low-income households—have equitable access to the resources they need to succeed academically and emotionally.

Being able to provide students with technology and opportunities that they may not get at home something that is one of the greatest goals as a teacher. Giving students experience with real world technology also helps them to see themselves in the future and be able to get experiences with things that may if they're interested into what they want their future careers to be.\r\n\r\nThe supplies are much appreciated and we are so grateful for the donation.

My students have been so excited to use the new roll up pianos and headphones as part of our daily lessons. We use them on the floor as a learning station where up to six students at a time can practice while others are engaged in different activities. One special moment was watching students work together to figure out simple melodies by ear. They were helping each other find the right notes and celebrating when they recognized a familiar tune. The headphones allow them to focus and build confidence as they explore and create.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. Many of them had never played a piano before, and they were eager to jump in and try. Even my younger students quickly became comfortable experimenting with the keys, while older students began making connections to note names and patterns we have been learning in class. It was wonderful to see such immediate engagement and joy.\r\n\r\nAs we continue, students will use the pianos to build their skills in reading simple notation, practicing rhythms, and performing short pieces. We are working toward small group performances where students can demonstrate what they have learned and even begin creating their own melodies. Your support has opened the door to new musical experiences and meaningful learning opportunities for every student. Thank you again for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1768525979150,"projectUrl":"project/the-keys-to-music-creation/10017979/","projectTitle":"The Keys to Music Creation","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mathiasmeier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8120910_orig.jpg?crop=1491,1491,x2096,y147&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634091071543","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8120910"},{"teacherId":9375142,"projectId":10030279,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible support of my project, \"STEAM Classrooms Are Our Future.\" Your generosity has directly impacted my students' ability to engage with hands-on, real-world engineering.\r\nFollowing the advice of Donors Choose, I wanted to share specific details about how your gift is being used in our classroom.\r\nOur First Success: Mini Wind Turbines We recently completed our first activity using the Teacher Geek Mini Wind Turbine kits. It was a thrill to watch the classroom transform into a design lab. Here is how your donation came to life:\r\nHands-on Engineering: Students didn't just read about renewable energy; they built it. They experimented with blade angles and shapes to see which designs generated the most power.\r\nCritical Thinking: There were moments of frustration when a turbine wouldn't spin, but those turned into the best \"aha!\" moments as students troubleshot their builds and refined their designs.\r\nCollaboration: I saw students who usually struggle with traditional lectures leading their groups, explaining gear ratios and wind resistance to their peers.\r\nBy providing these materials, you've given my students more than just a science lesson you've given them the tools to see themselves as future engineers and problem-solvers.

These resources arrived at the perfect time, allowing me to integrate the project directly into the design unit of our third-grade science curriculum.\r\n\r\nIn science, we have been learning how bioengineers use specific traits from organisms to inform designs that solve human problems. After reviewing various organisms and their unique survival traits in our textbooks, students worked in table groups to brainstorm, plan, and sketch their own designs. They then used the new materials to build rubber-band-powered racers based on their plans.\r\n\r\nThis project truly brought the design cycle to life in our classroom: learn, design, make, and test. My students were challenged to actively collaborate, communicate, and revise their designs when things didn't work the first time.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to integrate other STEAM resources into our upcoming unit on environmental science. The students will be designing solutions to protect local habitats and conserve energy. You have not just provided supplies; you have provided my students with the confidence to see themselves as future scientists and innovators.","fullyFundedDate":1768161880131,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-steam-classroom/9997854/","projectTitle":"Creating a STEAM Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9365965"},{"teacherId":8025478,"projectId":10038831,"letterContent":"Most of the items from this generous donation are going to be used in my new classroom next year.

I used the snacks that were purchased as rewards for the students with the most cards at the end of the round.
