They eagerly began designing their bridges, testing their ideas, and learning from each attempt. \r\n\r\nAs I reviewed the kits over the summer, I realized there are so many ways to extend their use throughout the following school year. To make the most of these materials, I am planning themed engineering days, each focusing on a specific design challenge or concept. Embedding these lessons throughout the year will help students continuously apply and deepen what they learn, rather than experiencing it all in just a few weeks.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support! I'm excited to see the creativity, problem-solving, and growth my students will continue to demonstrate as they work with the bridge-building kits and books this year.","fullyFundedDate":1724771351164,"projectUrl":"project/all-about-bridges/8527245/","projectTitle":"All About Bridges","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gatlin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2360159_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1486329429754","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/wgatlin"},{"teacherId":2360159,"projectId":9200583,"letterContent":"Another successful end of year party for the books.
