Students worked together to simple and complex circuits. They clearly were able to see the advantages and disadvantages of series versus parallel circuits and apply into to real life observations. \r\n\r\nTheir faces lit up (literally and figuratively!) as they saw their circuits come to life. My students cheered when the items arrived and their parents couldn't believe their luck. I wanted to send you a special thank you from the parents as well since they wanted me to directly thank you for your kindness towards their children and for helping enrich their science experience in school.\r\n\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my students gained not only knowledge but also confidence and curiosity about how the world works. You've helped spark a love of STEM that will stay with them for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in their learning and making science engaging, meaningful, and fun.","fullyFundedDate":1761184071171,"projectUrl":"project/let-there-be-light/9849983/","projectTitle":"Let There Be Light!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Romero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1938963_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y131&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754544040079","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1938963"},{"teacherId":427690,"projectId":9791014,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation.
