With these supplies, students didn't just read about science—they participated in real life science. From exploring chemical changes by making pancakes, to investigating Newton's Laws using playground equipment, students will actively engage in experiments that build curiosity and deepen understanding.\r\n\r\nMaterials like Oreos and modeling clay allowed students to model moon phases and the solar system, helping abstract concepts become concrete and memorable. The hydroponics kit will gave students a real-world way to observe photosynthesis in action, encouraging critical thinking and connections to environmental science. Everyday supplies such as crayons, glue, and sharpeners support ongoing projects that reinforce creativity, collaboration, and scientific communication.\r\n\r\nFlexible seating with wobble stools has helped students stay focused and engaged, while small rewards encourage effort, responsibility, and perseverance. Stencils and sun-sensitivity paper will be used for inquiry-based labs that spark excitement and discovery in the spring.\r\n\r\nBy supporting this project, donors invested in active, student-centered science learning that builds confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of STEM.

Throughout the year, students worked toward clear academic and behavioral goals during lessons, labs, and review activities. They participated actively in discussions, collaborated during classroom review games, and pushed themselves to master challenging science standards.\r\n\r\nThe candy and desk pets were used as positive reinforcement for engagement, effort, and achievement. Students earned rewards for participating in lessons, staying focused, demonstrating positive behavior, and showing growth in their understanding of science concepts. Desk pets and holders became powerful incentives—students were excited to earn them by meeting expectations and mastering unit standards, which increased motivation and confidence across the classroom.\r\n\r\nThese incentives helped create a positive, goal-oriented learning environment where students felt encouraged to do their best. As a result, students showed improved focus, stronger participation, and greater pride in their accomplishments. This project helped reinforce the idea that hard work and dedication lead to success, while making 5th grade science an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all learners.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting my students and helping create a classroom where effort, growth, and achievement are celebrated every day.","fullyFundedDate":1752758441421,"projectUrl":"project/ready-to-wobble-into-next-year/9275659/","projectTitle":"Ready to Wobble into Next Year","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kimberly Vaughn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1599815_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720499779979","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kimberlyvaughn"},{"teacherId":6481997,"projectId":9275990,"letterContent":"I apologize for the late 'thank you' response.
