Over 40 parents joined their children in the cafeteria to roll up their sleeves, mix dough, and transform simple ingredients into beautiful, edible \"bread art gardens.\"\r\n\r\nTogether, families explored STEM and creativity in action—learning about the science of yeast, the math behind measuring and rising, and the engineering of dough structure and design. As students decorated their focaccia with colorful vegetables and herbs, they also practiced speech and language skills, describing textures, sharing topping ideas, and proudly explaining their creations.\r\n\r\nThe event brought so much laughter, collaboration, and joy to our school community. We loved seeing families and teachers working side by side, turning learning into something hands-on, meaningful, and delicious.\r\n\r\nA heartfelt thank you to all the parents, teachers, and staff who made this possible. Your enthusiasm, support, and teamwork helped create lasting memories for our students—and some truly beautiful focaccia.","fullyFundedDate":1760723356754,"projectUrl":"project/knead-to-know-a-family-bread-stem-ex/9715436/","projectTitle":"“Knead to Know: A Family Bread + STEM Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Retkinski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3411178_orig.jpg?crop=524,524,x107,y148&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1620001006023","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rretkinski"},{"teacherId":1527681,"projectId":9813271,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for believing in my vision and for helping my children learn and grow with all of these wonderful resources!\r\n\r\nThey have been having a blast with exploring with Stem building activities as well as learning about solid figures!
