Unfortunately, it does take a while to acquire all the things that students need to learn, grow, and have fun. However, your donations have made a great difference in my classroom. We have enjoyed each and every STEM toy that was donated! \r\n\r\nConnecting, building, problem solving, and questioning are all skills that students gain from your donations. We use these donations each day. Students use these in the morning as a soft start to their school day. I have had so many students begin to come out of their shell during the times that they got to explore with these materials. Friendships have been made, students' love for STEM has grown, and overall class environment has been boosted. These are not just toys they are tools in reaching new heights! \r\nThank you so much!","fullyFundedDate":1755716268916,"projectUrl":"project/crash-oops-wow/9447282/","projectTitle":"Crash! Oops!
