It is now their favorite activity. These kits helped them to learn how electric current flows through closed circuits by giving them hands-on real-life learning. The photo I am uploading is how they made a spinning design. There is a really fun spinner that they can actually fly into the air. They then wondered what would happen if they drew a design on a piece of circular paper and put it in the spinner. It was so fun to watch the design spin and change. There are over 40 projects they can create in the book, but they have also tried creating their own designs, which has given them a lot of problem-solving experience. Thank you so much for these wonderful kits!","fullyFundedDate":1779344666216,"projectUrl":"project/stem-enrichment-for-gifted-urban-student/10296259/","projectTitle":"STEM Enrichment for Gifted Urban Students: Snap Circuit Kits","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Huber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10514563"},{"teacherId":1097619,"projectId":9987131,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping our students grow!

These aren't just \"extras\"—they actually help remove some of the biggest obstacles kids face every day: distractions.\r\n\r\nHeadphones are a game changer for focus. Classrooms can get loud and busy, and not every student can tune that out. When students put on headphones, it helps block out background noise so they can really lock in on their work. This is especially helpful during independent work time, tests, or when they're using technology. For students who get distracted easily or feel overwhelmed by noise, headphones can help them stay calm and on task. When they can focus better, they usually get more work done while doing it more accurately.","fullyFundedDate":1763760449072,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-and-organizer/9875690/","projectTitle":"Headphones and Organizer","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Diaz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9921100"},{"teacherId":5353551,"projectId":9771368,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our project.
