Because of your generosity, our amazing 5th graders have been diving into hands-on STEAM activities, interactive math stations, and project-based learning that make math come alive in the most fun and exciting ways. I know many of you use technology at home, but what makes this special in our classroom is how these tools help our curious learners explore math concepts through creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving — things that go far beyond just using a device.\r\n\r\nOne of the highlights has been our dinosaur-themed classroom transformation, where the students reviewed key math skills right before their big state test. Watching their excitement as they used the Bridge the Gap! Interlocking Fraction Cubes, Power Pen Learning Cards, and Fraction Number Flash Cards was priceless! These resources printed on colorful Astrobrights paper brought the lessons to life and helped students who usually find math tricky to connect with the material in new ways. Their eagerness to tackle challenges and their smiles of discovery remind me every day why this project is so important.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping our students unlock their full potential and fall in love with learning through STEAM.
