Their final piece was to create an artist statement with specific animal and habitat information as well as their materials and process.

With the new curriculum and materials we purchased through the TPT gift card, students are no longer just reading about scientific concepts — they're experiencing them firsthand. From building simple circuits to experimenting with magnets and energy, every lab has become an opportunity to ask questions, test ideas, and discover how the world works.\r\nThe excitement in the classroom is contagious! When my students first powered a light bulb using their own circuit, you could see the spark of curiosity light up right along with it. They love working together to solve problems and share their discoveries, and it's been incredible to watch their confidence grow with each experiment.\r\nSeveral students who were once hesitant about science now can't wait for \"Discovery Lab Day.\" They've found joy in troubleshooting, teamwork, and realizing that mistakes are just part of learning. This project has helped them see themselves as real scientists — capable, curious, and creative thinkers.\r\nBecause of your support, my students are not only learning science; they're developing a lifelong love for discovery.

Many shared stories about babies in their own families and how excited they were to make something that would keep another child warm.\r\nThe highlight of our project came when we donated the finished blankets to a local family resource center. Seeing the appreciation from the staff and knowing their work would directly help families in our community was an unforgettable moment for the students.\r\nOur next step is to continue exploring service learning by identifying new ways to use our creativity to give back.
