My students were excited when they first saw the heat guns, containers, timers, and measuring tools because they immediately knew they were going to be doing science rather than just reading about it. These materials allow students to observe changes, collect accurate measurements, record data, and use evidence to explain what they discover.\r\n\r\nWe are using the supplies as we investigate matter and energy. Students can measure materials before and after an investigation, carefully time changes, and observe how adding or removing heat affects matter. One of the best parts has been watching students compare their results and begin asking their own questions about why something happened. Instead of simply being told a scientific concept, they are able to see it, measure it, and gather evidence for themselves.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue using these materials throughout our fifth-grade science units. Students will design investigations, collect and analyze data, and use their observations as evidence to support scientific explanations. These supplies will be used again and again, giving many groups of students opportunities to think and work like scientists.

Share a specific classroom project or moment.\r\nOur classroom has been buzzing with excitement thanks to the incredible range of materials we received. During our centers, students rotate through stations where they can practice academic skills while using hands-on tools like the Coogam wooden stacking towers, magnetic tiles, and the magnetic fraction circles. One of my favorite moments so far was during a math block: students used the fraction tiles to complete their worksheets, and then proudly checked their work by building the fractions with the magnets. Meanwhile, another group used the stacking game as a reward station, and the room was filled with cheering as they strategized to keep the tower from toppling.\r\n\r\nThe new floor cushions have also transformed our reading corner—students love grabbing a cushion, picking out a book like We're All Wonders or Where the Sidewalk Ends, and settling into a quiet space to read comfortably.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\nThey were ecstatic! The students gasped when they saw the huge set of magnetic tiles and immediately started imagining what they would build. Several students were thrilled to test out the new countdown timer during group challenges, and the carpet sweeper instantly became the \"cool job\" of the day. They couldn't believe how many new books we added to our class library, including favorites like A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue, The Recess Queen, and After the Fall. Their joy and sense of ownership over these materials were incredible to witness.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students on a current classroom lesson or project?\r\nNext, we'll be using the science magnet sets to begin simple investigations during our forces and motion unit. Students will rotate between exploring magnetism, practicing time-management skills with the visual timer, and building STEM structures using the magnetic tiles and cars. In reading, we'll continue using our new social-emotional learning books to guide discussions about kindness, empathy, and cooperation.\r\n\r\nThe variety of tools—academic, behavioral, and organizational—has given us the flexibility to design centers where students can learn, practice, collaborate, reset, and even clean up independently. These materials will support our class all year long, and we are so grateful for the donors who made this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1755710280477,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-swansons-3rd-grade-class/9595071/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Swanson's 3rd Grade Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Swanson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9636312"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33003","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":428,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":2,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.8,"schoolId":33003,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Clinton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Clinton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/davis-school-district/clinton-elementary-school/33003"}
