Because of you, our students were able to use hands-on STEM equipment to strengthen both their scientific thinking *and* their literacy skills in meaningful, engaging ways.\r\n\r\nWith the hot plate, scale, and stopwatches, students conducted simple investigations that required them to read procedures closely, make predictions, and record observations using academic vocabulary. They practiced sequencing steps, interpreting data, and explaining results—skills that directly support reading comprehension and written expression. Students were especially excited to write lab reflections and informational paragraphs describing what they observed and learned.\r\n\r\nThe science-related books you provided helped students connect hands-on experiments to text. They used these books to build background knowledge, identify key ideas, and practice nonfiction reading strategies. Many students independently referenced the books during experiments, strengthening their ability to gather information from multiple sources and apply it to real-world tasks.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project helped students see reading and writing as essential tools for learning—not just in language arts, but across subjects. Your generosity made learning interactive, inclusive, and inspiring, and it sparked curiosity and confidence in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in their growth.
