They had been asking for a Lego set for what felt like ages, especially after watching other classes get the opportunity to work with them. There was a real sense of anticipation and joy in the room as they finally got to experience it for themselves. As they began working with the pieces, I noticed something amazing happening: students who had never spoken to each other before suddenly began collaborating and sharing ideas. It was as though the Lego set created an instant bond between them, breaking down barriers that had once seemed impossible to overcome. The classroom atmosphere shifted in a positive way, and it felt like everyone was included and contributing. Not only did it encourage teamwork, but it also fostered a sense of community and cooperation. It was heartwarming to see how something as simple as a Lego set could bring the class together and help create a safer, more welcoming environment for everyone. The experience reminded us all that sometimes, the smallest things can make the biggest impact.","fullyFundedDate":1736443617150,"projectUrl":"project/educational-benefits-of-building-with-le/8955316/","projectTitle":"Educational Benefits of Building With LEGO Bricks: Enhancing Skills Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Girdner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9843513"},{"teacherId":1419670,"projectId":8808796,"letterContent":"First of all let me start off by thanking you so much for your generosity.
