I have put the STEM Building Kit and the Small Group Math Kit to great use. \r\nMy students had just started our annual science fair project. This year we were making a playground model with simple machines. We used the stem materials to investigate making ramps (see photos), as slides. Students quickly grasped concepts such as slope by testing their model with counting bears. It was gratifying to see such deep connections being made with high engagement and discovery. We ended up winning First Place in our grade level. \r\nI love using the Math Kit for small spontaneous groups. During our unit on counting to 100, I noticed that the kit included a 2 sided 100s chart (that is dry erase). This allowed me to give an impromptu lesson on noticing patterns in a 100s chart and then have them flip it over and attempt to count and write numbers. I am able to do this we ease, and have whipped out number lines and counters to help students add and subtract, etc. I am so appreciative to have these tools at my fingertips.","fullyFundedDate":1768083535472,"projectUrl":"project/stem-and-math-for-young-engineers/9991941/","projectTitle":"Stem and Math for Young Engineers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lenze","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8030768"},{"teacherId":3244773,"projectId":9994933,"letterContent":"Our class greatly appreciates your contribution to this project.

They not only learned about the history of 3D printing and how it works, but then got to make their own custom designed 3D printed prototypes to take home. Many students were so inspired that they have gone on to purchase their own 3D printers at home. Students see the practical use of 3D printers and how they can used to solve everyday problems as well as being a tool to inspire creativity. Now that they know how to use the printers and how to design their own prints, throughout the school year the printer is going constantly as students create and print objects for classroom projects and just for fun.

Several students asked questions right away and were eager to dive in, which made the moment especially rewarding to witness.\r\n\r\nWe are using these new resources during our daily lessons, where students are actively engaged in hands-on learning and collaborative work. I've already seen an increase in participation and confidence as students use the materials to deepen their understanding and practice new skills. One especially memorable moment was seeing students help one another and proudly share what they had learned using the new resources.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for our class include building on this momentum as we continue our current unit. Students will use these materials to complete projects, strengthen key skills, and apply their learning in more meaningful ways throughout the year.

When students have a cozy, comfortable area set aside just for reading, they are more likely to see reading as an enjoyable and meaningful activity rather than a task. Soft seating, inviting books, and a quiet atmosphere help students feel relaxed and focused, allowing them to fully engage with texts. This kind of environment is especially beneficial for young readers who may feel overwhelmed or distracted in a traditional classroom setting, as it gives them a sense of ownership and excitement about choosing and exploring books.\r\nBeyond improving reading engagement, a reading nook supports students' emotional and academic growth. It offers a safe, peaceful space where students can reset, build independence, and develop stamina for sustained reading. As students spend more time reading in a comfortable environment, they strengthen comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency skills. Additionally, a reading nook promotes social-emotional well-being by providing a space where students can self-regulate, reduce stress, and gain confidence as readers. Overall, a well-designed reading nook helps foster lifelong readers while supporting the diverse needs of elementary learners.","fullyFundedDate":1768620540913,"projectUrl":"project/reading-nook/10022049/","projectTitle":"Reading Nook","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ben Kessous","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8230159_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768501176600","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8230159"},{"teacherId":8230159,"projectId":9988080,"letterContent":"The iPad supports my students' new learning by making lessons more engaging, accessible, and personalized.

Immediate feedback helps students correct mistakes right away and build confidence in their abilities.\r\n\r\nThe iPad also supports different learning styles. Visual learners benefit from videos and images, auditory learners gain from read-aloud features and recorded directions, and kinesthetic learners stay engaged through touch-based activities.
