Dissecting An Owl’s Dinner Part 2
Funded Jun 29, 2023I am incredibly grateful for your generous support of my classroom project. Your contribution enabled us to explore the fascinating world of animal adaptations through the dissection of owl pellets. This hands-on activity captivated their interest and deepened their understanding of how animals survive in their environments. My students were thrilled to piece together the bones and identify the prey, sparking curiosity and engagement in science.
Thanks to your kindness, my students had an enriching experience. Your support helped us create memorable and impactful learning moments that inspire a love for science.”

Funded Jun 5, 2022Thank you so much for providing math visuals for my amazing students. These were incredibly helpful for my students to use to build connections with learning 4th and 5th grade math skills.
When I hung up the place value chart, my kids were using it constantly to help them fully understand whole numbers and decimals. They also loved the using the large protractor on the whiteboard when learning about angle measurement.
Again, thank you so much for your support! These visuals helped my students master challenging math skills.”

Funded Jul 13, 2022Thank you so much for supporting my amazing students. Because of you, learning is exciting and engaging. The materials that we were able to purchase allowed my students to learn through play!
We harvested our farmstand and was able to learn and review fraction skills. We became chefs by dressing the part and created our salads. In addition, we were able to have a bootcamp at the end of the year to review math skills to get ready for our big test. The kids loved it! I believe they learned much more because of it.
Again, thank you so much. We couldn't have done it without you!”

Bringing Learning to Life With 3-D Printing
Funded Nov 29, 2022Thank you so much for your very generous support for my students. My kids were so excited to receive new colors of filament. We use our 3D printer a lot and we needed more filament.
Because of you, my students were able to practice using their problem-solving skills. One of our projects our class was able to complete is 3D printed bookmarks. The kids loved the challenge, and I loved watching them collaborate with each other to accomplish it. Another project we did was making bubble wands. This was a fun challenge that allowed us to observe and measure the bubbles created by our bubble wand designs.
Again, thank you so much! We couldn't have done this without you!”

Bringing Learning to Life!
Funded Nov 30, 2022I am writing to express my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of 3D pens to my amazing students. Your contribution has truly made a significant impact on our classroom and has opened up a whole new world of creativity and learning opportunities for my students.
Since we received the 3D pens, my students have been buzzing with excitement, eager to explore and experiment with them. They have been using the pens to create 3D models of everything from animals to buildings, and they have been amazed at how easy it is to turn their ideas into tangible, three-dimensional objects.
Not only have the 3D pens sparked their imagination, but they have also helped my students develop important skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and spatial reasoning. They have had to think carefully about the designs they want to create, plan out their work, and troubleshoot any problems that arise along the way. These are skills that will serve them well not just in school, but also in their future careers.
Once again, I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and your commitment to supporting education. Your donation will have a lasting impact on my students and will help them grow into confident, capable, and creative learners.”

Funded Aug 9, 2022Thank you so much for supporting my amazing students. Because of you, we learned how to measure angles with large protractors on the whiteboard. This made learning angles much more engaging. We also created Scribble Bots with motors. Our class learned about energy transfer and used problem-solving skills to engineer a robot that scribbled neat designs on paper. Another item that was purchased because of your support were some Utah postcards, so that we could participate in a postcard exchange with other classrooms across the U.S. My students loved researching and writing about Utah and then sending the postcards out.
Again, thank you so much! With this project I was able to make learning much more engaging and exciting for my 4th and 5th graders.”

Funded Oct 8, 2022I can't express fully how grateful my students and I are for your support. This has been one of our favorite new additions to our classroom. My students get so excited when they find out that they have a new "breakout" so solve. While solving a breakout, they are reviewing or learning new math and/or reading skills. I love that it is teaching them to persevere through hard things. The challenges force my students to think outside the box. I also love watching them collaborate with each other. They share ideas and they cheer each other on. The best part is that my students are having a blast! Again, thank you so much for bringing Breakout EDU to our classroom. We couldn't have done it without you.”
