The Botley robots, batteries, and coding grid mat have already made a big difference in our library STEAM lessons. Many people use technology every day, but don't always get to see how it helps kids learn. For our students, these tools make things like step-by-step directions, sequencing, and repetition much easier to understand. Instead of just talking about coding, they get to try it out, make mistakes, fix them, and see the robot respond right away.\r\n\r\nThe thing students love most is watching Botley move around the grid based on the code they created. Whether they're solving a coding challenge or using the robots to answer Battle of the Books questions, they get so excited to test their ideas and see if their plan works.\r\n\r\nWe've had kids from kindergarten through fifth grade really connect with this new technology. Some of our quieter students, in particular, have surprised us by stepping up and taking the lead during the activities. They enjoy planning the robot's path and working with classmates to solve problems, and it's been great to see their confidence grow.\r\n\r\nThis project truly wouldn't have happened without Donors Choose. Thank you for giving our students the chance to explore coding in such a fun, hands-on way. They absolutely love using the Botley robots, and we're so grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1755655594087,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-minds-with-botley-bots/9626803/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Minds with Botley Bots","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stortz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8890911_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1670426275227","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8890911"},{"teacherId":4131489,"projectId":9598790,"letterContent":"Thank you for making StoryWorks 2 possible in my classroom.

The debates have been especially impactful, giving students a chance to think critically, express their opinions, and build confidence in their communication skills. Your generosity has provided them with resources that make reading and learning both exciting and meaningful.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, I deeply appreciate the thoughtful design of StoryWorks 2. The paired texts allow me to connect ideas across different readings, while the variety of genres ensures that every student finds something that resonates with them. The skill pages provide targeted practice, and the clear alignment with standards makes planning and instruction seamless. With these tools, I can challenge my students while also supporting their growth in literacy.

Your contribution has provided our classroom with a resource that has quickly become indispensable, especially in small group instruction. \r\n\r\nOne of the most immediate benefits of the mobile whiteboard is its flexibility. Because it can be moved easily around the classroom, it allows us to bring instruction directly to small groups rather than requiring students to gather in one fixed location. This mobility has transformed the way we facilitate group work. Whether students are working on math problem‑solving, brainstorming ideas for writing, or practicing vocabulary, the whiteboard can be positioned right where they are, making learning more accessible and interactive.\r\n\r\nStudents enjoy taking turns as \"teacher,\" using the board to explain their reasoning or demonstrate strategies to peers.
