They were eager to dive in and start exploring right away. The classroom buzzed with excitement as they unpacked the interlocking discs, magnetic tiles, gears, and building sets. One student even exclaimed, \"This is the best morning ever!\"\r\n\r\nNow, each morning begins with creativity and imagination. Students use the materials to build whatever inspires them that day—castles, cars, animals, robots, and even miniature towns. It's been incredible to watch them collaborate, share ideas, and problem-solve together as their creations come to life. The sense of pride they feel when showing off their work to classmates has been so rewarding to see.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was when a small group of students combined different materials to make a working Ferris wheel. They cheered when it finally stood on its own, and others gathered around to admire their creation and teamwork.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our mornings now begin with curiosity, collaboration, and joy. These materials have transformed our classroom into a space where creativity thrives. I am so eager to see my students continue to explore new ways to design, build, and create--pushing their imaginations even further each day.","fullyFundedDate":1756577530355,"projectUrl":"project/starting-the-day-the-stem-way/9618443/","projectTitle":"Starting the Day the STEM Way","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eberhardy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10186186_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755603876796","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10186186"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57703","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":531,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":69.4,"schoolId":57703,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oak Grove Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oak Grove Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/turner-unified-school-district-202/oak-grove-elementary-school/57703"}
