Thank you so much for supporting our students! 💛\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were beyond excited. There were so many \"oohs\" and \"wait, we get to use these?!\" moments, and you could instantly feel their curiosity and engagement. It was so special to see them light up and feel like they were being invested in.\r\n\r\nWe've already started using the STEM materials during our hands-on learning time, and it has completely changed the way students approach problem-solving. Instead of just talking about ideas, they are building, testing, and collaborating with each other. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of students work together to design and improve their project, they were so focused, encouraging each other, and thinking critically the entire time.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue to use these materials to support deeper learning in science and engineering projects. Students will be working on more open-ended challenges where they can apply creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking skills. Your donation has not only provided resources, but it has also inspired confidence, excitement, and a love for learning in my students.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making such a meaningful difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1769870625495,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-minds-logic-stem-learning-be/10019722/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Minds: Logic & STEM Learning Beyond Screens","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reynolds","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10297155_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1771711458738","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10297155"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31333","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":845,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"24.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":78.8,"schoolId":31333,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ellerth E Larson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ellerth E Larson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/lodi-unified-school-district/ellerth-e-larson-elementary-school/31333"}
