My Sticker Store Binder has already been very popular this school year. I'm so excited to add the heart stickers for Valentine's Day and the St. Patrick's Day stickers to the binder for February and March. This year I'm also celebrating student successes with Accomplishment Necklaces. Each ball chain necklace has a student's name spelled out using the ABC beads from this project. Students have already begun earning beads to put on their individual necklaces! Finally, the paper circles are being used, along with custom thermal printer stickers and a button maker from a previous Donors Choose project, to create custom achievement buttons! No one has earned them yet, but I know they will be a complete surprise once they do.

Students planned and worked hard to create their facades (You can see their finished creations in the photos for this project.). After their creations were completed, I asked our PE Aide and STEAM Teacher to come in and \"judge\" their structures while students were at lunch.

Instead of simply learning about energy and engineering through discussion, students are now building, testing, and problem-solving in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nThrough the use of Snap Circuits, we have been able to directly support Next Generation Science Standards, including 3-5-ETS1-2 by encouraging students to design and improve their own circuit-based solutions, 4-PS3-2 as they investigate energy transfer, and 5-PS1-3 as they explore how materials function within electrical systems. Students are developing critical thinking skills as they troubleshoot designs, collaborate with peers, and persist through challenges.\r\n\r\nBeyond the standards, these kits have sparked excitement and curiosity across all grade levels. Students are more confident in their ability to think like engineers and are beginning to see connections between classroom learning and real-world applications.
