Your generosity has brought powerful, hands-on technology into our classroom and has completely transformed the way my students learn. While many people use technology at home for communication or entertainment, this technology allows students to become creators rather than consumers. Through 3D design and printing, students are applying math, science, and problem-solving skills in meaningful, real-world ways. They learn to plan, design, test, revise, and improve their ideas—skills that are essential for future careers but difficult to teach through traditional lessons alone.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is seeing their digital designs become physical objects they can hold in their hands. This immediate connection between imagination and reality makes learning feel purposeful and motivating. Students are deeply engaged as they collaborate, troubleshoot design challenges, and celebrate successful prints. Even when a design doesn't work the first time, students view it as an opportunity to learn and improve rather than a failure, which has helped build resilience and confidence.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who struggled to stay engaged in traditional classroom settings have especially thrived with this technology. Some students who are quiet or hesitant to participate have found their voice through design, proudly explaining their creations to classmates. Others who enjoy hands-on learning now have a space where their strengths shine. Because of your support, my students are gaining not only technical skills, but also confidence, creativity, and a love for learning that will stay with them far beyond this classroom. Thank you for making this opportunity possible.","fullyFundedDate":1758500534987,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-3d-learning-lab/9687826/","projectTitle":"Hands-On 3D Learning Lab","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gutierrez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2159799_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1504018444877","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2159799"},{"teacherId":3099373,"projectId":9622000,"letterContent":"For the second year, I have had the opportunity to teach a reading remediation program through the University of Florida. It is an intensive, interactive program which is multisensory, so that it benefits students with diverse learning styles.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards and erasers are critical to teaching the program itself and are enjoyed very much by the students, especially the paw-print and dog-bone looking erasers. We use the colored pencils for a written assignment in each lesson and the zippered pouches to organize our work materials. At the end of each unit, the students take a quiz. Those who demonstrate proficiency on the lesson quiz get to choose their reward; a motivation pencil, sticker, or bracelet.\r\n\r\nBeside the instructional benefit, I love that the students learn to encourage one another, laugh with, not at, one another, and take ownership of our class routine. Recently, one of my students, who was very upset and in a bad mood, did not want to come to group. I explained that he could just sit with us and listen if he needed to and nothing more. By the end of the lesson he was actively participating and smiling.","fullyFundedDate":1755698894214,"projectUrl":"project/equipped-to-learn/9622000/","projectTitle":"Equipped to Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3099373_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1664907000956","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3099373"},{"teacherId":2159799,"projectId":9619100,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our \"Pumping Up Innovation with Robotics Pneumatics\" project.

Thanks to the science resources you provided, we have transformed an extra classroom into a fully functioning science lab—something our school has never had before. All students in grades 1–5 now complete biweekly science projects using the new equipment, and their excitement has been inspiring. Many of our students experienced hands-on experiments for the very first time, and during the first week in the lab their enthusiasm was overwhelming. Students now ask eagerly for opportunities to do extra experiments, and teachers regularly incorporate the lab into their lessons as enrichment to the science textbook and curriculum.\r\n The science lab has also become a vital support space for our Fifth grade students, who meet before and after school for additional help as they prepare for the State Science Test. Their performance on this exam determines progression to middle school and contributes to our school's letter grade in the state of Florida, making this support especially important. We are proud to report that student test scores across all grades are higher than ever, showing an average 20% progress monitoring learning gain compared to the same time last year. This remarkable growth is a testament to the power of learning by \"doing\" and \"experimenting,\" which helps students retain information more effectively and develop stronger critical and logical thinking skills in science.

When the students first saw the boxes, their faces lit up—there were audible gasps of excitement, and many immediately started organizing their new materials with a heightened sense of ownership and pride.\r\n\r\nWe are actively using the new resources every day. For example, during our recent \"Community Helpers\" and \"International Night\" units, we used the fresh paper and quality markers for a collaborative mural project that required every student to contribute illustrations. Previously, students would have had to share worn-out supplies, but now, everyone has their own set of high-quality tools, leading to richer, more detailed, and fully engaged group work. The sanitation products are also keeping our learning environment healthy and focused.\r\n\r\nNow that we have successfully completed our mural, the next step for our students is to write persuasive letters to local community leaders, using their beautifully illustrated mural as a visual aid to advocate for a new playground.
