Your generosity in funding the Strawbees STEAM kit has made a huge difference in my classroom and with our after school students. It's truly helped us transform abstract concepts into hands-on, engaging experiences. My students and I are using the Strawbees kit to explore the fundamentals of engineering, design, and physics. Our first project was using Strawbees to construct 3D shapes and identify characteristics of each shape with my afterschool students. \r\n\r\nWhen the boxes of Strawbees first arrived, the initial reaction was a mixture of curiosity and slight confusion. The students were used to traditional building blocks, not flexible straws and brightly colored connectors. This kit is allowing my students to move beyond traditional learning and instead become active creators and innovators. Thank you again for giving them this powerful opportunity!","fullyFundedDate":1752947285274,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-hands-on-learning-with-strawbe/9307227/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Hands-On Learning with Strawbees","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wolfe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3482292_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1458613614494","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nicolefwolfe"},{"teacherId":4754146,"projectId":9084248,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supplying these hands on games for my students.

Students also learned about pollinators and how they help plants reproduce. In our raised bed we made healthy soil by bedding our raised bed with newspaper and covering it with a nice mixture of soil and compost. We topped our bed with mulch and students learned how mulch helps keep moisture in our soil. We have planted a variety of perennial herbs, kale and perennial flowers that will be beneficial to pollinators like bees and butterflies. \r\n\r\nYou have made a difference in the lives of my students by creating hands on learning experiences that the kids are 100% engaged in. They love looking out our window each day and checking on our plants.
