Funded May 7, 2024I cannot thank you enough for your generous contribution to our classroom's STEM materials. These resources have had a profound impact on my students, both during our lessons and even during their free time at recess.
From the moment the boxes arrived, the excitement was palpable. The students' faces lit up when they saw the assortment of hands-on materials—building sets, kits, and other fun tools. They couldn't wait to dive in! One memorable moment occurred during our first project using the kits. The students were tasked with building their own simple machines, and within minutes, small groups were buzzing with creativity and collaboration. It was incredible to witness the way these materials encouraged problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
But the impact of your donation doesn't stop with our structured lessons. The STEM materials have also become a huge hit during recess. Students are constantly challenging themselves to build taller towers, create new designs, or experiment with the physics of their designs—all while learning without even realizing it! What's particularly rewarding is watching how these activities have sparked new interests. Many students who were initially hesitant about science and engineering are now diving in with enthusiasm and confidence.
Your generosity has opened doors for my students, allowing them to explore STEM in ways that are engaging, fun, and deeply educational. From recess challenges to classroom projects, these resources have become an integral part of their learning journey. Thank you for giving them the tools to dream, design, and discover.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Kreps
