Because of your generosity, our science lab is now stocked with materials such as magnets, pipe cleaners, wooden dowels, foam sheets, glue sticks, paper plates, thermometers, and other supplies that allow our students to learn science through exploration and experimentation. Instead of simply reading about scientific concepts, students can now build, test, observe, and problem-solve using real materials. They were incredibly excited to see all of the new supplies and even more excited to begin using them during our science and STEM activities.\r\n\r\nThese materials will continue to be used throughout the school year for investigations, STEM challenges, engineering projects, and collaborative learning experiences. Students will have opportunities to design solutions, test their ideas, make improvements, and apply the concepts they are learning in class. Your support has helped us create a science lab where curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning can thrive.
