Thank you for supporting this classroom of 5th graders with your donations. The 5th grade students anticipate this project all year long. The model rocket project, at the end of the school year, is a celebration of all the hard work they have done in elementary school and their launch into middle school. We had a great time learning about gravity and forces, specifically thrust.\r\n\tThe students were incredibly excited to see the model rocket materials. They knew that the launch was only a couple weeks away. Building the model rockets was a new experience for the majority of the students. They demonstrated patience during the challenging assembly process. All the students were delighted when the rockets were built, painted, and ready for launch.","fullyFundedDate":1745863115104,"projectUrl":"project/launch-to-middle-school/9113072/","projectTitle":"Launch to Middle School","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. McCallen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9923284_orig.jpg?crop=458,458,x0,y138&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739474550980","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9923284"},{"teacherId":1107750,"projectId":7664916,"letterContent":"Students loved being able to grow their own plants by learning which plants could be propagated from clippings.

The Kindergarten Writing Curriculum by ThatKinderMama from Teachers Pay Teachers has transformed our young learners into confident writers who can now compose complete sentences and explore different writing genres. With the structured, step-by-step lessons, our students have developed strong sentence-building skills using labeled picture supports, sentence stems, and interactive writing prompts. The genre-based units—ranging from personal narratives to informational and opinion writing—have provided engaging, developmentally appropriate ways for our students to express their ideas.\r\n\r\nOne of the most heartwarming moments came when a student, who once struggled to put thoughts on paper, eagerly used the \"I can write a sentence\" anchor chart to craft her very first independent sentence. Watching her proudly read her work to the class was a testament to the confidence and creativity this curriculum has fostered. Another student excitedly used the \"How-To Writing\" template to explain the steps for making his favorite snack, demonstrating his growing ability to sequence and organize thoughts. These breakthroughs would not have been possible without your generosity. Your donation has not only equipped our students with essential writing skills but has also ignited a love for storytelling and self-expression that will stay with them for years to come.
