Yesterday was our first day of school. My students were introduced to the STEM bins during our morning meeting. I then allowed them to explore the bins and their materials and ask questions about how to use them. They were so excited!\r\n These hands-on STEM activities will continue to capture students' interest and make learning fun and exciting, especially at the start of the day. This will lead to a smoother transition into the school day and allow students to have a more positive attitude in the classroom. They will be more focused and ready to learn when the formal instruction begins.\r\n STEM bins require students to think creatively, analyze information, evaluate solutions, troubleshoot challenges, and develop essential problem-solving and logical reasoning skills. Activities like building with blocks, manipulating materials, and using tools found in STEM bins strengthen hand muscles and improve dexterity, benefiting skills such as writing and drawing. Your donation created STEM bin activities that encourage students to work together, communicate ideas, debate solutions, and collaborate on projects, fostering teamwork and social skills.","fullyFundedDate":1750213011426,"projectUrl":"project/help-give-my-students-the-opportunity-to/9387835/","projectTitle":"Help Give My Students the Opportunity to Create Stem Projects","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Freeman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047117"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_91362","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":700,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":60,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":67.1,"schoolId":91362,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lincoln Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lincoln Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/pennsylvania-department-of-education/lincoln-charter-school/91362"}
