We watched a few videos of famous bridges in Oklahoma. A lot of my students had experience with local bridges around our school and county. I love that Oklahoma Natural Gas supported our small, rural Oklahoma schools. \r\nMy students worked in cooperative groups to plan, build, and experiment with various bridges. Using The Engineering Design Method, my students were able to envision and rebuild any bridges that did not hold up to the various loads we used as variables.","fullyFundedDate":1755202081330,"projectUrl":"project/stem-in-a-snap/9546030/","projectTitle":"STEM In a Snap","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Madden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8318319_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754879697501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8318319"},{"teacherId":1960022,"projectId":9378444,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supplying the funds to purchase the comfortable classroom seating options for my classroom. The students that I serve are all on IEP's and range from specific learning disabilities to autism to emotional disturbances. The new chairs have been an amazing addition to the classroom. The students come in and automatically jump into the chairs. The two lounge chairs are very comfortable and great for relaxing and/or napping. Some of my students just like to sit in them to decompress. The wobble stools have been used by all of my students at one point or another and have enabled them to work on assignments while moving. \r\n\r\nMy students come and go in my classroom, but made sure to tell everyone in the hallways that I have the best seats in the school. I don't have a traditional classroom, I have an open lab all day.

We've discussed that it is too early to quit, and we often learn more from mistakes.\r\n\r\nMy junior Hope Squad loved \"A Flicker of Hope\". They pointed out that the candle in the story shared hope because he sought opportunities to share his flame. \r\n\r\nWhen I read to my students, we discuss the story, the characters, and the pictures.

Their favorite time came after the lessons when they could explore, create sirens, and try out the many projects available with these Snap Circuit kits.\r\n\r\nThis morning, I had some of my middle school students use them. I had to answer two questions. When are we using these again, and why haven't we seen these before now? \r\n\r\nThe project book in the kit is great.
