By integrating these interactive tools with reading activities, students explored engineering concepts like problem-solving, critical thinking, and design while reinforcing their literacy skills. These kits made abstract STEM ideas tangible and engaging, giving students a deeper understanding of both language and engineering. In 4th grade last year, they learned about the underwater world and created habitats to match a sea creature they created. In 5th grade they learned about force and motion and programed and created a windmill.","fullyFundedDate":1731503030718,"projectUrl":"project/bridging-reading-and-stem-with-lego-spik/8930345/","projectTitle":"Bridging Reading and STEM With Lego Spike","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ziada Brandt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6993484"},{"teacherId":8338394,"projectId":9027791,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping our school purchase an electronic keyboard with rolling stand and a set of classroom seat cushions. Our students have loved playing keyboard in class and on stage and the seat cushions have provided them with a comfortable spot to sit on in the music room. Students have particularly loved sitting on the cushions when performing ukulele or recorder in small groups. Students love helping around the school and having the rolly stand for the keyboard allows them to safely and easily move the keyboard from the music room to the gym.
