Beyond the technical skills being developed, the supplies have become a powerful catalyst for social connection and bonding. As my students work side-by-side on their canvases, they are sharing more than just tubes of paint; they are sharing ideas, offering encouragement, and building a supportive school community. The collaborative atmosphere is helping to break down barriers, allowing my students from different backgrounds to find common ground through visual expression.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is making a lasting impact on my students' emotional well-being and interpersonal growth. By providing the tools for them to share their stories and perspectives, you have helped create an environment where every voice is valued and every student feels seen. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping my students find a hobby other than their phones.","fullyFundedDate":1764673747412,"projectUrl":"project/bonding-with-art/9936306/","projectTitle":"Bonding With Art","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Manswell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp59378_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1467916488688","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hmanswell"},{"teacherId":59378,"projectId":9875645,"letterContent":"Having the opportunity to Integrate hands-on and luminous art projects provided a multi-sensory gateway to concepts that might otherwise feel abstract or inaccessible for students with special needs. The paintable moon lamps transformed my lesson on lunar topography into a hands-on exploration. As my students apply layers of paint to the textured surface, they engaged physically by being able to feel the simulated craters and highlands. The 3D representation allowed them to internalize the Moon's physical characteristics through touch and sight simultaneously, fostering a deeper cognitive connection to the celestial body than a flat textbook image ever could. \r\n\r\nMoreover, By using to 5D diamond art, they were able to build the planets bead-by-bead, students observe the varying scales, colors, and relative positions of the orbital bodies in a vivid, high-contrast format. This process turns a daunting scientific map into a manageable, rewarding masterpiece, building confidence and ensuring that the wonders of space are felt and seen by every learner, regardless of their individual challenges.Thank you for your contributions to their education.","fullyFundedDate":1763551872919,"projectUrl":"project/stem-with-special-needs-students/9875645/","projectTitle":"STEM With Special Needs Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Manswell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp59378_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1467916488688","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hmanswell"},{"teacherId":3372442,"projectId":9820360,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the assortment of snacks!

Staying adequately hydrated will ensure that my students are able to focus on lessons in the classroom and on sports and other extra curricular activities at the end of the school day.

Apart from the clear risks of dehydration, students who do not consume the recommended amount of fluid may be at a disadvantage in the classroom.
