Your donations have made a meaningful difference in my students' learning experience, providing them with valuable resources and opportunities that may not have otherwise been possible. Because of your kindness, my students have been able to strengthen important academic skills and grow in ways that truly matter.\r\n\r\nI am excited to share that your support has helped students show noticeable improvement as they prepared for their SBAC and MAP testing. Beyond test scores, I have seen a wonderful increase in their confidence in the classroom. Students are more willing to participate, take risks in their learning, and believe in their abilities. That growth is just as important as their academic progress, and it would not have been possible without you.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and their future.

Because of you, our students had access to high-quality STEM materials and tools that transformed the way they learn and explore science.\r\n\r\nWith these hands-on resources, students were able to design experiments, build models, and think like real scientists. The excitement and curiosity in our classroom and Science Engineering Club grew every day. Most importantly, your support directly contributed to our students achieving outstanding success—we proudly earned gold medals in Nevada Science Olympiad held in Vegas on the 28th of March 2026.\r\n\r\nThis achievement would not have been possible without your belief in our students. You didn't just donate materials—you invested in confidence, creativity, and future innovators.\r\n\r\nOur students now see themselves as problem-solvers, engineers, and scientists. Many of them are inspired to pursue STEM careers because of the opportunities you made possible.\r\n\r\nThank you for making a lasting impact on our classroom and for supporting our journey toward excellence.\r\n\r\nNow our students are working on Arduino projects and drones thanks to having a solid foundation with the materials you donated and ensured the purchase. They want to join competitions about drones and Arduino projects and represent Coral and Nevada proudly.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,\r\nSaban Kara\r\nCoral Academy of Science - South Elementary- Reno, Nevada","fullyFundedDate":1769191958198,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-science-kits-for-future-olympia/10040843/","projectTitle":"Hands on Science Kits for Future Olympians","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10412380_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768771266127","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10412380"},{"teacherId":10406611,"projectId":10029041,"letterContent":"Words cannot explain the gratitude I have for your generous donation to my classroom project, Cricut Crafts in the Classroom. \r\n\r\nBecause of your support, I now gained access to a Cricut machine.

I have used the cricut to make papers and art decals to go along with the progress of our vegetables in the root viewer, and the students were mesmerized watching the cricut work its magic.

Because of your generosity, our students now have access to hands-on STEM materials that allow them to explore, build, and think creatively.\r\n\r\nOur students have been using these materials during classroom activities and small group projects. One of the most exciting moments was seeing students collaborate to design simple engineering solutions and test their ideas. They were highly engaged, asking questions, and showing curiosity and excitement while learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were thrilled. Many of them immediately wanted to explore and start building. These resources have helped create a more interactive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident to try, make mistakes, and learn from them.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we plan to continue integrating these STEM stations into our lessons to support problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking skills.

I introduced the items during small group time. The students would take a word and write either the beginning, middle, or ending sound. They would then sound out a word using the sounds they wrote using the item provided by your donation. In doing this the students visualized the letters and learn how to write the letter at the same. The students used the white board markers with the boards, and they used the tablets as well. They enjoyed the bright colors, and having their own individual items to write with. The students found writing fun with the boards, paper, pencils, pens, and other wonderful donations.\r\nThe sand boxes that were provided, students really enjoyed the green sand. They practiced their shapes, slanted lines, and even their names. It was a great alternative to paper.

Today's lesson was describing and exploring soil. First, students were instructed to use only their naked eye and sketch what they saw in their soil sample. Once they practiced using the basics of the microscopes (light and focus) they were able to then observe the composition of soil and boy did they go to town on this! Students were practically screaming on all the microscopic elements that they couldn't simply see with their naked eye! I personally was so inspired to see them and hear them say they love science!\r\n\r\nWith donors like you, our classroom would not have the same experience of having easy to use microscopes.
