My students were absolutely thrilled when the packages arrived. Their excitement was contagious as they opened the materials and discovered all the new opportunities for hands-on learning. We were studying electrical circuits, and thanks to the circuit kits you provided, students were able to take what they had learned on paper and bring it to life. Seeing their faces light up as they built circuits, experimented, and watched their ideas actually work was priceless. They were excited to explore, make connections, and learn through doing rather than simply reading about the concepts.\r\n\r\nWe are now continuing our exploration of energy using the marble run materials. Students are investigating potential and kinetic energy by observing how the marbles move, gain speed, and transfer energy throughout the track. These resources have given my students opportunities to ask questions, make predictions, experiment, and discover scientific concepts firsthand. Your generosity has helped transform our science lessons into exciting learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping make learning come alive. Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and we are so grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1789574359491,"projectUrl":"project/stem-dream/10297266/","projectTitle":"STEM Dream","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Macias","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8941287_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1779857112819","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8941287"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8423","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":740,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.3,"schoolId":8423,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Escontrias Steam Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Escontrias Steam Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/socorro-independent-school-district/escontrias-elementary-school/8423"}
