They worked in teams to plan, measure, and construct bridges that met specific size requirements, then tested them with weight to see how strong their designs were. One powerful moment was watching students revise their structures after an initial test failed—students were discussing ratios of vertical to horizontal supports, problem-solving together, and cheering each other on as their bridges held more weight. The materials truly turned our classroom into an engineering lab.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were immediately excited and curious. They began brainstorming ideas, sketching designs, and asking if they could start building right away. Many students who don't always feel confident in traditional math lessons were especially engaged because they could see and touch the learning. There was a strong sense of ownership and pride from the very beginning.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will analyze their bridge results and connect their designs to math concepts like ratios, measurement, and problem-solving. They'll reflect on what worked, what didn't, and how engineers improve designs over time. We'll continue extending this learning into future STEM challenges where students apply the same engineering mindset—planning, testing, revising, and collaborating—to new real-world problems. These materials will continue to support hands-on experiences that build confidence, creativity, and critical thinking in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1768184974944,"projectUrl":"project/bridge-project-time-to-show-your-engine/10006038/","projectTitle":"Bridge Project: Time to Show Your Engineering Skills!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hitchcock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8163517_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768020861093","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8163517"},{"teacherId":1003581,"projectId":10028538,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of pencils, notebooks, reward stickers, books, and poster paper. These simple but essential supplies have truly refreshed my classroom and made it a more welcoming, engaging place for my students. Having fresh pencils and notebooks readily available ensures that every student can fully participate in learning each day without worrying about whether they have the tools they need. It removes barriers and helps create a sense of readiness and confidence the moment they walk through the door.\r\n\r\nThe reward stickers and new books have also brought renewed excitement and motivation into our room. Small incentives like stickers may seem simple, but they make a big difference in celebrating effort, encouraging positive behavior, and helping students feel seen and valued. The books have expanded our classroom library and sparked more independent reading and curiosity. Meanwhile, the poster paper has allowed us to create anchor charts, projects, and student displays that make learning visible and interactive, giving students ownership and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom feels brighter, more organized, and more inspiring—a space where students feel prepared, encouraged, and excited to learn. Your generosity directly impacts their daily experience, and I am deeply grateful for the difference you've made in our learning community.","fullyFundedDate":1768697236304,"projectUrl":"project/refresh-my-room/10028538/","projectTitle":"Refresh My Room","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kendell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1003581"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95282","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1445,"numTeachers":10,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"144.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":51.6,"schoolId":95282,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Delta Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Delta Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/delta-academy/95282"}
