I anticipated my students' excitement, but what has surprised me is the interest and questions I get from all of the adults who visit my room! I thought that this would drive the learning of my students (and it has!); I'm thrilled to discover that it has also fueled the curiosity and joy of so many adults and other students who visit my room. The impact your donation has made is so much greater than I had anticipated!\r\nI wish that you could have been there for the big reveal. My shy kids were not shy in this moment! They made incredible predictions and connections between our learning about erosion and what might happen in the tumbler. As we progressed through the 4 different grits, my students talked about the similarities and differences they were seeing, which tied directly into our comparison writing for our literacy unit. Every single kid was able to share a fact they knew about plate tectonics after our unit to earn a freshly tumbled rock!\r\nOur kindergarten buddies have also been enthralled with the rock tumbler. My students have been working with their kindergarten buddies on venn diagrams, and the rocks have been a perfect place to practice their language around comparisons. Thank you so much for this gift. It has indeed rocked their world and made many ripples through our learning community at my school.","fullyFundedDate":1757423440063,"projectUrl":"project/rock-their-world/9568290/","projectTitle":"Rock their World","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.

The excitement in the room was incredible when we opened the sets. These sets help to make the excerpts from \"The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind\" that are about electricity very real and understandable for my students.\r\nMy favorite moment so far has been when one of my student groups suddenly yelled \"we achieved flight!\" They built one of the circuits all by themselves that propelled the fan into the air when they shut it off. The pride on their faces that they decoded a diagram and had an exciting result was awesome. I can't wait to get them deeper into the book so that the projects are as complicated as the ones in the book. \r\nOne of my favorite parts of introducing Snap Circuits into my room has been who has emerged as a leader. Kids who aren't normally a leader in the room, but who have great visual thinking skills and engineering skills have stepped in as experts. To give another set of students a chance to shine has been amazing. They are more confident in the rest of their day!
