They LOVE using our Lego supplies to complete different STEM challenges and activities. My students have explored how the sun provides heat and light energy and then designed solar-powered vehicles. They explored friction by testing different road surfaces to see which surface allowed their vehicle to travel the farthest. One of their favorite challenges was designing a vehicle that could carry the most weight using the least amount of materials. There are so many more challenges and explorations ahead and I can't wait to watch their love of science grow.

Beat the Bell has become the hit of the school - students are constantly asking when their number is going to be called to win and engaging consistently with the incentive. When the students see the prizes they can choose from, they light up and often say that it is hard to pick just one thing. \r\n\r\nAs I described in my request, frequent absences are an issue for our school - it impacts student's learning and participation in their education. These resources make it possible to help kids become more eager to come to school and encourage them that school is important. By helping me provide this, you have helped change the trajectory of student's educational paths. Thank you for your generosity and your support, it means more than I could every say.","fullyFundedDate":1726702069983,"projectUrl":"project/come-to-school-and-beat-the-bell/8616561/","projectTitle":"Come to School and Beat the Bell!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Phillips","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8353529"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_70706","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":832,"numTeachers":64,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":69,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.9,"schoolId":70706,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oak Grove Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oak Grove Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/hillsborough-county-public-school-district/oak-grove-elementary-school/70706"}
