Once they were made aware of the items that would be arriving, they couldn't stop talking about how they planned to use them and continued to ask when they would be arriving! Since receiving the STEAM building materials and the hands on math manipulatives, my fourth graders have used them significantly during indoor recess and free choice play times. Currently, they enjoy building bridges and cars with them. I have seen their attention to detail enhanced and a desire to describe with purpose their projects with their peers and myself. Our next project that we will use them for is creating a mockup/model of a rollercoaster to then pinpoint locations on the coaster where potential and kinetic energy are located. I am excited to see how these materials further support our classroom and students in the future. Thank you again for your donation. It is greatly appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1727462818096,"projectUrl":"project/future-engineers-and-architects-of-color/8573474/","projectTitle":"Future Engineers and Architects of Colorado","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9632133"},{"teacherId":9297281,"projectId":8576043,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kind and generous donation.
