Some immediately understood and I just stood back and watched the magic happen. Others needed a bit more assistance, so we went through the pieces and talked about how the trajectory and path of the marble woudl be affected. Some wanted to through the cards and take those challenges. Others wanted to go to the expert and advanced level challenges. Some even wanted to create their own challenge cards.\r\n\r\nDonors, thank you! I was able to give my students these critical thinking challenges in an exciting, very different way. These games are so durable so they will be used for years to come. My favorite thing is that my students told other students how much \"STEM\" class was- and I had many students pop by my class during passing periods and lunch to try them out. What a priceless gift.","fullyFundedDate":1748963884412,"projectUrl":"project/gravity-maze-challenge/9162044/","projectTitle":"Gravity Maze Challenge","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hudson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp706970_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1524271543950","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/706970"},{"teacherId":9589124,"projectId":9302501,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation toward a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card.

These seemingly simple materials have dramatically transformed our learning environment and student engagement in ways I never anticipated.\r\n\r\nThe organizational tools you provided have been nothing short of revolutionary for our classroom management. Previously, students struggled to stay focused with independent tasks and find what they needed to work on. Now they are able to easily find the materials they need with little to no assistance!\r\n\r\nThe magnetics and task cards have been particularly transformative for our hands-on learners. Students who previously disengaged during traditional lecture formats are now actively participating, moving task cards, collaborating, and developing critical thinking skills. These interactive resources have created a dynamic learning space where students can visualize complex concepts, work collaboratively, and develop spatial reasoning skills.\r\n\r\nYour donation represents more than material resources—it symbolizes community investment in educational innovation. By providing these tools, you have directly enhanced our students' ability to learn, organize, and engage with academic content. The ripple effect of your generosity will impact not just our current students, but future classes for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1743012487374,"projectUrl":"project/help-hardebecks-hardworkers/9190362/","projectTitle":"Help Hardebeck's Hardworkers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hardebeck","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9589124_orig.jpg?crop=200,200,x0,y35&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746040072243","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9589124"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20033","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":569,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":78.3,"schoolId":20033,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Crawfordsville Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Crawfordsville Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/crawfordsville-community-school-district/joseph-f-tuttle-middle-school/20033"}
