Your contributions have had a meaningful impact on how our students experience and understand science in the classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our class now has access to a subscription to Generation Genius, an engaging online collection of science videos that helps bring complex concepts to life. These videos support student understanding by explaining scientific ideas in a clear, exciting, and student-friendly way. They spark curiosity, encourage questions, and help students build a strong foundation before diving deeper into each topic.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the science tools you provided have allowed students to conduct a variety of hands-on experiments throughout the year. Being able to actively explore, test ideas, and observe results helps students better understand the science we are learning and makes lessons more meaningful. These tools turn abstract concepts into real experiences and give students the opportunity to think and work like real scientists.","fullyFundedDate":1758599126637,"projectUrl":"project/stem-kitchen-sink/9700346/","projectTitle":"STEM Kitchen Sink","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1824983_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x0,y368&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758600438578","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/seahawksteacher"},{"teacherId":1824983,"projectId":9666370,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our 5th grade classroom and for helping us bring an amazing vending machine to our students.

The pride, creativity, and motivation this project sparked in our classroom was incredible to witness.\r\n\r\nBeyond the excitement, this experience was a powerful lesson in financial literacy. Students had to think critically, plan carefully, and execute their ideas using math every step of the way. They practiced budgeting, pricing, problem-solving, and decision-making while learning how math applies to real-world situations.
