I had the boxes of K'NEX on the table in front of the room and students immediately began talking about how they once used them in a previous class or how they had always wanted to use them. I could sense their excitement and eagerness to get their hands on the kits.\r\n During our first week of STEM lessons, I like to work on cooperation, compromise and communication skills. After reading the book, Too Tall Houses by Gianna Marino, students were challenged to work together in small groups. Using the K'NEX kits, students were instructed to build a tower as tall as they could with a 5 inch by 8 inch foundation. It was a competition among the groups. It was so fun to see them begin figuring out how the variety of pieces could fit together forming corners and walls as their elaborate structures grew. \r\n Some of our future projects will include time to read and follow the directions provided in the kits to build cars, planes, cameras and other various items with the K'NEX pieces. We will also use them in class for enrichment lessons to reinforce skills taught in their Math and Science classes. \r\n Your donation will bring lessons to life for many years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1786724432969,"projectUrl":"project/making-a-connection-in-stem-class/10469095/","projectTitle":"Making a Connection in STEM Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. F.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/352901"},{"teacherId":10524563,"projectId":10322141,"letterContent":"On behalf of our entire sixth grade class, I'd like to express my sincere and deep appreciation for supporting our Donor's Choose project. The excitement as we unboxed our books was palpable. Many students even commented that our classroom library now had their favorite book set or author. Additionally, your support provided a class set of Margaret Peterson Haddix's Among the Hidden, allowing each student to have their own copy as we read this together as a class.

The board games have already given the students exciting and new things to play during inside recess and extra time. The problem solving skills and new experiences provide the students with game they have never played before. They are using new ideas, new strategies, and learning to get along with other students while playing these new games. \r\n\r\nBoard games provide them with a way to learn something new, practice skills, and have fun during the school day! Each week we have reviewed and learned to play one of the new games. My hope is that they continue to play and want to teach their families and friends. Thank you for sharing this opportunity with my students! Your donation has changed our classroom for the better.","fullyFundedDate":1756739512707,"projectUrl":"project/learning-with-board-games/9624677/","projectTitle":"Learning with Board Games","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2586478_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y141&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755782848131","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2586478"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56578","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":223,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":14,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":2,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"3 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"10.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":57.6,"schoolId":56578,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Central Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Central Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/baxter-springs-unified-school-district-508/central-elementary-school/56578"}
