The students that stay for this program are excited to learn programming of the Lego robots and possibly enter a competition. Before getting this mat we were drawing the training spaces on poster paper to learn on. \r\nAgain thank you for choosing our classroom to donate to.","fullyFundedDate":1741384501566,"projectUrl":"project/robot-rescue/8953747/","projectTitle":"Robot Rescue","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fulcher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5263163_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522357994154","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/donatefulcher"},{"teacherId":5263163,"projectId":9322464,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations to my project for the TI calculators.

My students use these calculators everyday during class and on their STAAR test at the end of the year. Using these calculators will help them with the calculations that they typically struggle with so they can focus on the problem solving. They can also use the calculators to check their work.","fullyFundedDate":1747333505868,"projectUrl":"project/calculating-our-success/9322464/","projectTitle":"Calculating Our Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fulcher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5263163_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522357994154","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/donatefulcher"},{"teacherId":10113790,"projectId":9562619,"letterContent":"Thank you for your purchase of colored pencils, whiteboards, and headphones. These essential classroom items help students to be both creative and successful in class. The impact has turned out to be greater than anticipated. Other teachers are aware of these supplies and borrow them as well for even greater student success. \r\n Let me share just a few examples of the students using the colored pencils. The G.T. students created Dot-A-Math creations. By coloring different portions of circles, different visuals were created. Another teacher used the colors to create a patriotic agamograph, which is a type of artwork with different designs on the folds of the paper. Based on the way a person views the folds, two different designs can be viewed.\r\n The headphones are frequently used to help different students access learning accommodations in multiple classrooms. They are also used by individual students when they are researching and want to listen to a video as a creative aspect of their research. \r\n Whiteboards are used daily for multiple purposes. Sometimes students creatively brainstorm their ideas for writing by using the whiteboards. At other times, students race to write quick answers to grammar and writing questions or take reading notes. \r\n Please know, all of your donations are positively impacting student learning.","fullyFundedDate":1755885221360,"projectUrl":"project/creative-class/9562619/","projectTitle":"Creative Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10113790"},{"teacherId":10039310,"projectId":9366507,"letterContent":"As a teacher for over 25 years, it is such a blessing to receive items for my students and my use that I didn't have to pay for out of my own pocket!
