They immediately began planning where to place the garden bed and how to use the flower press kit to create their own nature art. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of students huddle together, carefully spreading the landscape fabric while discussing how it would stop weeds from \"stealing the food from our plants.\" Their excitement turned an ordinary school day into an adventure in discovery.\r\n\r\nSince then, our classroom has truly transformed into a living laboratory. Students are keeping journals where they measure growth, sketch plant parts, and write reflections, which has boosted their reading, writing, and math skills in a meaningful, hands-on way. The butterfly models sparked lively conversations about metamorphosis, and the button maker has been a huge hit—students proudly wear their handmade \"Garden Club\" badges, giving them a sense of community and ownership over the project.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to expand our lessons by connecting what we see in our garden to bigger science concepts like life cycles, ecosystems, and pollination. The kids are already dreaming about inviting families to visit the garden so they can share what they've grown and learned. Thanks to your generosity, you've given them not just supplies, but the confidence to see themselves as scientists, gardeners, and leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1741740432446,"projectUrl":"project/growing-minds-in-our-garden-a-hands-on/9155207/","projectTitle":"Growing Minds in Our Garden: A Hands-On Learning Adventure","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. C","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8354011_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1646381163588","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/candide"},{"teacherId":7405150,"projectId":9141529,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping bring the Sphero BOLT and Indy coding robots into our classroom. These tools have quickly become some of the most exciting parts of our technology lessons and are truly helping my students learn in ways that feel both fun and meaningful. Students watch their robots roll and light up while it interacts with their environment. This hands-on learning with coding has boosted their problem-solving and collaboration skills. It has been amazing to see their confidence grow with each new challenge. \r\n\r\nWith the Indy car robot, even our youngest learners can explore coding by using color tiles to control movement, making programming accessible for everyone. Meanwhile, the Sphero BOLT allows older students to design obstacle courses and use sensors to explore more advanced coding concepts. I've seen students who are usually quiet or hesitant suddenly shine with these tools. One student who is shy has found her voice by working with a partner to design challenges for the Indy robots. \r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students are not only learning how to code but they are also learning how to collaborate and persevere through their coding attempts and successes. These robots have inspired curiosity and joy in our classroom. It's clear that they have made a lasting impact on how my students look at coding and becoming better problem-solvers.
