Your gift has already made a tremendous difference in our classroom community. The table has become a hub where students gather to collaborate, share ideas, and problem-solve together. As they build and design, I've seen their confidence grow—students are proudly sharing their creations and explaining their thinking to peers. The table has truly fostered stronger communication skills, teamwork, and a sense of belonging, giving each student the opportunity to feel successful and valued.\r\n\r\nBeyond the social-emotional benefits, the LEGO table directly supports hands-on learning, aligned with engineering and design standards. Students are practicing critical skills such as planning, testing, revising, and persevering through challenges as they bring their imaginative concepts to life. These authentic experiences in problem-solving and innovation not only strengthen their understanding of engineering practices, but also build resilience and self-efficacy that extend far beyond the classroom. Your support has empowered our students to see themselves as capable creators and engineers, and for that, we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1749869115667,"projectUrl":"project/building-future-innovators-brick-by/9402838/","projectTitle":"Building Future Innovators -- Brick By Brick","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Encinias","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10052258_orig.jpg?crop=858,858,x0,y37&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749529056010","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10052258"},{"teacherId":9931114,"projectId":9129909,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my students.
