Your kindness had an immediate and meaningful impact on my students' learning.\r\n\r\nWith these kits, my students were able to explore forces and motion in a hands-on, engaging way. Instead of just reading about concepts like push, pull, thrust, and speed, they experienced them firsthand. Students tested their designs, made predictions, observed results, and excitedly revised their rockets to improve performance. The room was filled with curiosity, problem-solving, and genuine enthusiasm for science.\r\n\r\nThe balloon rocket activity also encouraged collaboration and communication. Students worked together to share ideas, explain their thinking, and learn from both successes and mistakes. Some students who are typically hesitant to participate were eager to engage (particularly my very quiet autistic student) ask questions, and take part in discussions because the learning felt fun.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students were able to learn like real scientists—experimenting, observing, and discovering through play and inquiry. Thank you for believing in my students and investing in their education. Your support helped create an unforgettable learning experience that sparked excitement and confidence in science.

People like you truly make a difference in our kids education and it makes you an angel in my opinion. The hands-on experience using the clean water kit gave them a first hand experience of the process of filtering contaminants and ensuring safe drinking water. The experience not only deepened their understanding of environmental science, but also instilled a sense of responsibility and curiosity about global water challenges. I consider it a real win when I can get them to translate their learning to the real world. \r\n\r\n Additionally. the cork board you helped provide has transformed our classroom into a space that celebrate student achievement. Now we have a dedicated space to showcase exceptional work and provide examples for future classes to draw ideas from and see what grade A work looks like. I also feel hanging student work gives them a sense of belonging in the room; a comfortable place that they helped create. \r\n\r\n Thank you again for making such a meaningful impact on our classroom.
