We have enjoyed using all our new resources. The students had a great time decorating their personalized crowns with the new stickers. They also decorated their own frames with the stickers and we printed their photo using the ink we received! They were so excited to see their photo frame hung on the cabinet doors. In addition, we have also been able to print many color games and activities using the ink. We were able to create name plate cards for the \"Question of the day\" pocket chart, in which the students respond to as they arrive in the morning.\r\n\r\nWatercolor activities have also been a joy for them! With our new watercolor paper we have made: rainbows, free choice painting, marigolds, and a class \"Thanksgiving Quilt.\" This watercolor paper makes a huge difference because regular print paper can become soggy with watercolors, but thanks to our special watercolor paper this doesn't happen.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for bringing our project resources to our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1756232263807,"projectUrl":"project/pre-k-first-days/9330442/","projectTitle":"Pre-K First Days!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Salmeron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3010041_orig.jpg?crop=693,693,x412,y132&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1578772817576","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-ysalmeron"},{"teacherId":3163976,"projectId":9731299,"letterContent":"We are very excited about our Butterfly celebration that will take place at the end of our Insects study.

I have a diverse group of curious, creative, and capable TK students. They are eager to learn new routines, make new friends, and find their voice in TK! A huge part of learning new routines is learning to take care of their own things and their own bodies. Which includes learning how to keep things clean and orderly! While the cleaning fluid is for adults to use, the soap and hand sanitizer are definitely for the kids. And they love using them to take care of themselves.

Students coded their Dash robots to simulate a Macy's Day Parade, designing and attaching their own creative floats while programming the robots to follow a specific path. For many, this was their first opportunity to see how coding can bring movement and imagination together, and they were highly engaged throughout the activity.\r\nThe project allowed students to practice sequencing, problem-solving, and debugging their code while also exercising artistic expression in designing the floats. As the robots paraded through the classroom, students celebrated their success and took pride in their teamwork and creativity. The activity showed students that coding can be both fun and meaningful, sparking interest in STEM while also connecting to real-world events in a playful, memorable way.

For many students, this was their very first exposure to coding, and they expressed excitement at seeing their programs come to life on the devices. The hands-on, interactive nature of the micro:bits allowed students to connect abstract coding concepts with real-world applications, making the learning process both accessible and fun.\r\n\r\nBeyond coding, students enjoyed using the micro:bits to collect data outside on the school yard. This real-time data collection helped them see how technology can be used to explore and understand their environment, fostering curiosity and encouraging problem-solving skills. Students collaborated, shared discoveries, and developed a stronger sense of ownership over their learning.\r\n\r\nOverall, the integration of micro:bits not only built foundational skills in computer science but also sparked creativity, critical thinking, and an enthusiasm for exploring STEM in new ways.","fullyFundedDate":1723463901818,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-future-innovators-with-micro/8622320/","projectTitle":"Empowering Future Innovators with Micro:bit","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Celis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6694187"},{"teacherId":1256595,"projectId":8660303,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donations, our new projector has transformed the learning experience in our classroom.
