  • Physical Fitness Fun!

    Funded Nov 30, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generosity! We have been using the equipment cart and PE equipment daily since we received them. It has been so helpful in keeping our stuff organized and easy to find. My students have had a blast using the new parachute and balance boards. We have learned new games to play with the parachute and the children are creating their own obstacle courses almost daily with the balance equipment. The new basketballs and playground balls have also been put to great use. Again, we appreciate your support and are grateful for your donations!”

  • Lights, Camera, Motion!

    Funded Nov 30, 2021

    Thank you to all that supported my project. We had some unexpected setbacks in starting this project, but we are now well on our way to completing all the activities I had planned for the donated materials. From our first activity of making paper circuits with LED lights to learning how to capture various types of movement with LED lights and stop motion camera apps, my 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade students have been engaged, and motivated to learn more throughout this whole process.

    One of the unexpected benefits of this project has been the collaboration, friendship and leadership skills displayed by my students. As we've done different experiments, they've been eager to share their knowledge with each other and have worked together to solve any issues that have occurred. Now, after explaining our activity plan, I've been able to step back and merely facilitate and supervise the activities, because my students are able to help each other accomplish their goals. This is exciting and heartwarming to see in action!

    The next step for my students is to apply all of the knowledge they have learned from observing and tracking motion through LED lights by creating their own vehicle and tracks. I can't wait to see what they create! This project allowed me to do something different and out of the box with my students and has provided opportunities for them to learn and show new skills. We are truly appreciative and grateful for the support you gave us!”

My 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students are budding engineers and artists, full of wonder and creativity! They have a fascination with things that move and are constantly tinkering with materials in our maker and art zones to make things like zip lines, mini catapults, and marble runs. While tinkering, many of our conversations center around how they can improve their designs, and off the cuff lessons in engineering and physics. As an educator that believes in child-centered and hands-on learning, I would like to strengthen this interest and have my students investigate the properties of physics, motion, and kinetics by visually tracking the movement, path, and speed of different objects using LED lights and stop motion photography. The materials in this project would give my students the opportunity to explore and learn science in fun and accessible ways, and hopefully inspire them to continue to pursue STEM/STEAM related endeavors in the future.
