This gift has made such a difference in our learning environment, giving our students a cozy and welcoming place to gather together each day. The carpet has truly transformed our room into a space where children feel comfortable, safe, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nOur class uses the carpet for many important parts of our day—morning meetings, story time, partner work, and small group activities. The children love having their own special space to sit, and it helps create a sense of community as we come together in a central spot. It has quickly become one of the most loved areas of our classroom, and we see the positive impact it has on both focus and collaboration.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your support in making our classroom a brighter, more welcoming place for our young learners. Your generosity directly impacts their daily experience and helps set the stage for a joyful start to their education.

The children have been absolutely delighted by this hands-on experience, and it has quickly become one of the most engaging parts of their learning day. Watching the robots move in response to their instructions makes coding come alive in a way that feels like both play and discovery.\r\n\r\nThis opportunity has introduced our youngest learners to the foundations of problem-solving, sequencing, and collaboration. As they program the mice robots to reach specific goals, the children are not only learning early coding concepts but also practicing teamwork and perseverance. They cheer each other on, work through challenges together, and celebrate each success with excitement and pride.\r\n\r\nYour support has truly made a difference in nurturing curiosity and creativity in our classroom. The joy and confidence these students feel when they see their coding come to life will stay with them as they continue their educational journey.

As the technology coach, I get to work with all of our students—from transitional kindergarten through 5th grade—and these robotics blocks have been a huge hit across every grade level. Cubelets are helping our students explore big ideas like how robots sense, think, and act—all in a hands-on, playful way that doesn't even require screens. It's been amazing to watch students of all ages light up as they connect the blocks and discover how their creations move, light up, or react to their environment.\r\n\r\nWhat makes Cubelets especially exciting is how accessible and creative they are. Our younger students love snapping the blocks together and watching what happens, while our older students are diving deeper into experimenting with different combinations and problem-solving as a team. One 5th grader who's usually hesitant to share ideas quickly became a leader during a Cubelets session, confidently showing others how to create a light-sensing robot. Moments like that remind us how powerful this kind of technology can be.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, every student in our school is getting a chance to experience robotics in a way that sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and encourages collaboration.
