One of the first projects I created was a paper computer model that I shared with my students during our online class. They were very excited to see how the Cricut could create detailed learning materials that connect directly to our computer science lessons.\r\n\r\nWhen students first heard about the Cricut, they were immediately curious and enthusiastic. Many students asked questions about how the machine works and what kinds of projects I could create with it. They especially loved seeing the computer model and hearing that future lessons could include hands-on interactive activities instead of only digital lessons on the screen.\r\n\r\nOver the summer break, I plan to create reusable coding manipulatives kits using the Cricut. These materials will help students practice sequencing, algorithms, debugging, and other coding concepts in a more hands-on and engaging way. My goal is to have a collection of interactive activities ready for students to pick up with their other supplies when the new school year begins.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping bring these opportunities into our classroom. Attending a fully online school, my students often miss out on hands-on practice. Your support is allowing me to create engaging learning experiences that make computer science more interactive, accessible, and fun for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1768676037301,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-computer-science-lessons-to-lif/10023744/","projectTitle":"Bringing Computer Science Lessons to Life with Hands-On Coding","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gerdes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2939717_orig.png?crop=431,431,x25,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699420655048","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2939717"},{"teacherId":5298027,"projectId":10062288,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom project and helping provide resources that will make a meaningful difference for my students. Your generosity and kindness are truly appreciated.\r\n\r\nMy students are curious, energetic learners who thrive when expectations are clear and routines are consistent. Because of your support, we can now create a more organized, structured, and student-centered classroom environment where students feel confident, capable, and ready to learn each day.\r\n\r\nThe digital classroom calendar has already become an important part of our daily routine. Many of my students benefit greatly from visual supports, and having a clear display of schedules, upcoming events, and important reminders helps reduce anxiety and improve time awareness. Students are more focused and prepared because they know what to expect throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe digital chore chart has also had a wonderful impact on our classroom community. Students are excited to take ownership of meaningful classroom jobs and responsibilities. They love seeing their names connected to important tasks, and this system encourages independence, accountability, and leadership skills. When students feel trusted and valued, their confidence grows.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom feels calmer, more organized, and more engaging for everyone. Your support is helping my students develop responsibility, self-management skills, and pride in contributing to our learning community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and investing in their success.
