Larry Newton Elementary, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous support in purchasing our classroom set of Ozobot robots and our accompanying Solar System STEAM kits. Your contribution has already made a profound impact on our science and STEAM learning.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these innovative tools, our students have been more engaged than ever. The Ozobots allow them to explore coding, problem-solving, and critical thinking in hands-on, interactive ways, while the Solar System STEAM kits bring our lessons about planets, orbits, and space exploration to life. The combination of robotics and STEAM projects has not only reinforced our curriculum but also sparked curiosity and creativity in every student.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students most is the new technology itself. Watching robots follow their own code or seeing their models of the solar system come alive has inspired excitement, collaboration, and pride. Many of our students do not have access to technology like this at home, so being able to use these tools in the classroom is especially meaningful. They take great pride in learning and creating with equipment that feels cutting-edge, helping to build confidence and a love for science and technology that will stay with them for years to come.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is more than just a donation—it is an investment in our students' curiosity, learning, and future. We are deeply grateful for your support in helping us provide engaging, hands-on STEAM experiences for all of our students, regardless of their access to technology outside of school.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping make our classroom a place where science, creativity, and innovation thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1746786494121,"projectUrl":"project/sparking-creativity-with-ozobots-in-our/9156641/","projectTitle":"Sparking Creativity with Ozobots in Our Title 1 School","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lewis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9509968_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y36&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1712847435819","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrlewissteam"},{"teacherId":7711738,"projectId":8883689,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my Small Group table stools. It has been a game changer. No longer are my students struggling to see the paper to read. Beacuse they are littles it is hard to sit in the desk chairs that were provided to me by the county. The angle of there eyes to the top of the table is all wrong and students struggled to see what they were reading. My students LOVE them!!! They fight over which color they will sit in. Which is a good thing, it means they are excited to come to the small group table and learn. I could not have gotten these stools without your generosity, thank you.\r\n\r\nThe seat cushions are a hit too! Students love to sit on these around the classroom as their personal space for reading. These help because I don't have enough rug space for all the students to read on the rug, but these allow a soft cushioned surface when students are sitting on the hard floor. Your support does not go unnoticed!! \r\n\r\nThank you for supporting the literacy of young children.","fullyFundedDate":1739553498769,"projectUrl":"project/small-group-table-seating/8883689/","projectTitle":"Small Group Table Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pierce","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7711738_orig.jpg?crop=2594,2595,x0,y302&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720017359275","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7711738"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11053","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":754,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":71.1,"schoolId":11053,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about J Larry Newton School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"J Larry Newton School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/baldwin-county-school-district/j-larry-newton-school/11053"}
