The STEM kits and play dough have transformed our classroom into a place where children can build, create, experiment, and learn while having fun.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite activities was using the STEM kits to build different structures, such as bridges and towers, while discussing what made them strong or weak. The students also used play dough to form letters, numbers, shapes, and animals, helping them strengthen their fine motor skills while practicing early literacy and math concepts. Watching them work together, solve problems, and proudly share their creations has been one of the most rewarding moments this year.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students' faces lit up with excitement. They couldn't wait to open the boxes and immediately started asking questions about what they could build and create. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and they were eager to explore every item. Even students who are usually shy became more engaged and confident during our hands-on activities.\r\n\r\nThese new resources continue to support our daily learning. Next, we will use the STEM kits and play dough to explore science concepts, engineering challenges, counting, patterns, and storytelling through creative play. My students will continue developing teamwork, critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills while learning in meaningful and enjoyable ways.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their future. Your kindness has made our classroom a more engaging, creative, and joyful place to learn. Every activity reminds us that your generosity is helping our young learners build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1776088796558,"projectUrl":"project/kinder-hands-on-learning-through-stem-ki/9970075/","projectTitle":"Kinder Hands-On Learning Through STEM Kits and Play Dough","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tuazon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8677828_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720465338137","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8677828"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122986","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":367,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":100,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":14.1,"schoolId":122986,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Isna Wica Owayawa Bia School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Isna Wica Owayawa Bia School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-dakota/-bureau-of-indian-affairs-/isna-wica-owayawa-bia-school/122986"}
