Another very memorable moment was rock painting with the little ones. One kindergartener was so proud of his work that he showed other students in the building as he walked the halls - he loved his rock-ladybug! All of the supplies were extremely helpful in supporting our students' needs and they will continue to be of great help throughout the years.

With the addition of Legos, building blocks, and crafting materials, my students now engage in hands-on, inquiry-based learning that fosters creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. These resources have transformed our classroom into a space where students can design, build, test, and improve their ideas—developing essential engineering and design-thinking skills. Legos and building blocks help students explore structural concepts and spatial reasoning, while crafting materials like glue, tape, and organized storage give them the tools to construct real prototypes and bring their ideas to life. Most importantly, these materials support open-ended exploration and teamwork, empowering students to take ownership of their learning and preparing them to become the next generation of STEM innovators.","fullyFundedDate":1740108474785,"projectUrl":"project/stemtechnology-exploration/9120783/","projectTitle":"STEM/Technology Exploration","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Perito","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9927182"},{"teacherId":4900126,"projectId":9104027,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in funding my Donors Choose project called \"Coding for Everyone.\" Your contribution has made a significant impact on my students' learning experiences.

This opportunity has not only enhanced their understanding of coding but has also encouraged teamwork and creativity. Although we won't receive the results from the technology fair until May 23, my students are buzzing with excitement. They are learning to debug their coding when they run into problems, which is a crucial skill for their development. Your support truly makes a difference in their education!

One memorable moment was when a group of students designed and built their own animal habitats displaying animals with prosthetics and adaptative equipment using recycled materials, craft sticks, gears, and motors—they tested, adjusted, and proudly shared their working models with the class. The new resources have completely transformed our STEM station rotations, encouraging collaboration and imaginative thinking across all grade levels.
