When the students first saw the materials, they were so excited and couldn't wait to try everything. They are already using them to practice collaboration, taking turns, problem-solving, and building friendships that support them throughout the school day. One special moment was watching students work together to build a tower with the magnet tiles, welcome others to join, and share their ideas.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping us plan even more opportunities for learning and connection. Next, we hope to add more science activities and board games, along with a coloring corner and art pages for students to enjoy.

We otherwise would not be able to do such a fun and engaging hands-on science project. The students were so excited when the boxes arrived, and I explained what they were and how we were going to use them.\r\n The students chose teams to be on, and they discussed what part each student would accomplish. Each team would design, build, and launch their rocket. During this process, many teams had to problem solve and work together to fix issues.\r\n Students were learning all about energy and motion. Throughout this process students learned about Newton's 3 Laws of Motion, and kinetic and potential energy. Launching went off perfectly. Afterwards, teams had to report on how their rockets performed, the physics behind it, and how they worked as a team.\r\n Now that we have completed this activity, we are taking the entire 6th grade bowling to continue to learn about energy and motion.","fullyFundedDate":1789053207877,"projectUrl":"project/321-blast-off/10458904/","projectTitle":"3,2,1 Blast Off","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4176649_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756333610024","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4176649"},{"teacherId":4176649,"projectId":9945806,"letterContent":"6th grade science students at Jefferson Middle School are learning about forces and motion, including Newton's laws of motion. Building and launching rockets was the most engaging hands-on activity that would cover all of our standards at once. Our school is a title 1 school, with most students living below the poverty line. This project created excitement about fields of science that may have previously seemed inaccessible to our student body. Our students now have concrete knowledge about the science behind rockets as we lead into a conversation with a NASA scientist and have followed the Artemis II mission. Students practiced skills of working in groups, respecting materials, and using creativity. We are excited to see our students use this experience to stay lifelong scientific thinkers and learners.","fullyFundedDate":1769380577193,"projectUrl":"project/3-2-1-blast-off/9945806/","projectTitle":"3, 2, 1, Blast Off!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4176649_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756333610024","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4176649"},{"teacherId":10161699,"projectId":9555990,"letterContent":"The amazing impact that you made inside this classroom has me tongue-tied.
