When the school year began, my classroom had zero chairs. I was able to find two old stools that other teachers didn't need, but I was still short more than twenty seats. For weeks, students rotated between sharing stools, standing, or borrowing chairs from other classrooms, which made hands-on engineering lessons stressful and uncomfortable. Your support completely changed that situation.\r\n\r\nWhen the stools arrived, my students were so excited they immediately started counting them and helping unpack and assemble each one. Several students said, \"We finally have real seats!\" For many of them, especially my larger classes, having a safe and sturdy place to sit made a huge difference in how focused and ready they felt to learn. The sense of pride they had in building their own learning environment was truly special.\r\n\r\nNow, thanks to you, our STEM lessons run smoothly. Students can collaborate on engineering projects, take notes in their notebooks, and work on digital design without worrying about where they will sit. Even though I am still short a few stools due to class size, having nearly the full set has completely transformed our space. Your donation didn't just give us furniture—it gave my students dignity, comfort, and a classroom that feels like their own. Thank you for stepping in when our district budget couldn't.","fullyFundedDate":1747342487514,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-into-stem-flexible-seating-for/9088098/","projectTitle":"Rolling into STEM: Flexible Seating for Future Innovators!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Watkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2974108_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690225137919","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/a-watkinsjstem"},{"teacherId":9915354,"projectId":9095874,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your incredible generosity in supporting our art classroom's finish early cart. Your thoughtful donation of craft supplies has transformed our creative learning space and provided students with amazing opportunities to explore their artistic potential. The collection of beads, weaving materials, and additional craft supplies you've provided gives students a wonderful way to engage their creativity during extra moments in class.\r\n\r\nThe finish early cart has become a magical center of inspiration for our students. When students complete their assigned work ahead of schedule, they now have access to beautiful, high-quality materials that encourage self-expression and skill development. The beads allow students to create intricate jewelry and decorative projects, while the weaving supplies help them learn traditional craft techniques and develop fine motor skills. Your support means that every moment in our classroom can be a moment of artistic discovery.\r\n\r\nBeyond the physical supplies, your donation sends a powerful message to our students. It shows them that our community values creativity, supports artistic education, and believes in providing enriching experiences for young learners. The students are thrilled to have these professional-grade materials and have already begun creating stunning projects that showcase their imagination and newfound skills.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students' artistic journey and helping us create a dynamic, inspiring learning environment.

We use them to create vibrant, smooth color blends that bring our illustrations to life. These markers help us work on complex illustration projects, add depth and dimension to our artwork, and practice advanced coloring techniques that make our drawings truly special.\r\n\r\nThe Micron pens are equally magical in our artistic toolkit. They enable us to create precise line work, develop detailed sketches, execute technical drawings, and add intricate details to our illustrations that make each piece unique.\r\n\r\nWhen the package of art supplies arrived, our classroom erupted with cheers! Students were bursting with excitement, eager to open the boxes and start creating. For many of our learners who come from backgrounds where art supplies are considered a luxury, this donation represents more than just tools - it represents an opportunity to explore, express, and grow.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has inspired our entire class.
