So far we have completed several Science /STEM activities. We have completed creating structures with toothpicks and mini marshmallows and toothpicks and gumdrops. The students had to work with a partner to complete these. It was a great experience of preplanning together and working on a team. They really enjoyed this activity.\r\n\r\nAnother project we tried was building a structure with straws and masking tape that is able to hold a paper cup filled with pennies. Whoever used the most pennies with their structure still standing won. This was hilarious! Once they achieved their goal I allowed them take it a little bit further and they started adding more masking tape and taping the structure to the desk. They got carried away, but had a great time!\r\n\r\nThe final thing we did in class was to make slime. The use of the materials for this would have been costly and I appreciate your contribution. It was messy and they loved it. They were excited that they got to take the slime home once we were finished. I am looking into a better recipe for next year. I truly appreciate your generous donation and look forward to starting our next project!","fullyFundedDate":1760662145865,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-stem-adventures-igniting-curio/9810689/","projectTitle":"Hands-On STEM Adventures: Igniting Curiosity Through Exploration!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Perry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10061910_orig.jpg?crop=956,956,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760047787943","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10061910"},{"teacherId":10043116,"projectId":9377497,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations of the sublimation heat press tumbler, drawing supplies, and heat press tumbler accessories.

It was such a proud teacher moment!Students were so excited when they first saw everything! Now they love choosing books from the shelf and settling into comfy spots to read.
