Your contribution has had an immediate and meaningful impact on my students, and I'm excited to share how this small robot is making a big difference.\r\n\r\nOzobot has opened the door to coding in a way that feels accessible, creative, and fun. My students are learning foundational programming skills by drawing color-coded commands and building simple sequences that Ozobot follows. This hands-on experience is helping them think logically, problem-solve, and experiment without fear of making mistakes. For many of my students, this is their very first introduction to computer science—and they are thriving.\r\n\r\nIn addition to supporting academic growth, Ozobot has also become a powerful behavior incentive in our classroom. Students work hard to earn \"Ozobot Time,\" and it has helped reinforce positive choices, collaboration, and perseverance. Even students who typically struggle to stay motivated have shown renewed excitement and engagement. Watching them encourage one another, share ideas, and celebrate successes has been one of the true highlights of our year.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students aren't just learning to code—they're learning confidence, creativity, and teamwork. Thank you for investing in their futures. Your support is helping shape curious innovators and responsible leaders, one small robot at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1757444235246,"projectUrl":"project/bot-buddies-using-ozobots-in-the-second/9398363/","projectTitle":"Bot Buddies: Using OzoBots in the Second Grade Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kowalski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1565604_orig.jpg?crop=1284,1284,x0,y321&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749138066327","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1565604"},{"teacherId":3255928,"projectId":9419377,"letterContent":"The class is thriving this year and I'm sure the resources you helped us acquire were part of that!

It is easy to open and close so the students are able to get in and out of the cart on their own. It keeps all of our Chromebooks protected and organized throughout the school year.

We also discussed how there are things we can do now and things we can't do YET.

Because of your kindness, we were able to add much-needed storage solutions and alternative lighting to our learning space. These additions have already made a huge difference in creating a calm and welcoming environment for my students.\r\n\r\nThe storage items are helping my first graders take ownership of materials and keep our classroom organized. Having a place for everything makes transitions smoother and allows more time for learning and exploration. My students feel proud when they can independently find and put away supplies.\r\n\r\nOur new lighting has transformed the feel of our classroom. The softer glow helps reduce overstimulation from harsh overhead lights and makes the space feel cozy and inviting.

Our 4th-grade students have eagerly embraced the opportunity to learn more about the American Revolution. These books have truly sparked their curiosity and deepened their understanding of this pivotal time in history. It is remarkable to see how engaged they are when discussing the events, people, and ideas that shaped the foundation of our nation. Your thoughtful gift has not only enriched our classroom resources but has also fostered a genuine love for history among our students, and for that, we are forever grateful.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the books, our students have been diving headfirst into their study of the American Revolution. The books have become an integral part of our classroom learning, sparking lively discussions and thoughtful questions. Whether they're reading about key figures like George Washington, Abigail Adams, or Benjamin Franklin, or exploring pivotal events like the Boston Tea Party and the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the students are excited to immerse themselves in the stories of courage, struggle, and triumph that define this era. It's heartwarming to see their eyes light up when they connect what they've read to lessons in class or when they eagerly share new facts with their peers.\r\n\r\nThese books have also provided an excellent opportunity for us to incorporate a variety of learning activities into our curriculum. Some students have been working on creative projects, such as writing diary entries from the perspective of a historical figure or designing posters that illustrate significant Revolutionary War battles. Others have been participating in small-group discussions where they analyze primary sources and reflect on how the ideals of liberty and justice are still relevant today. The books have given us a wealth of material to draw from, making our lessons more dynamic and engaging.\r\n\r\nIn addition to enhancing academic learning, the books have also played an important role in fostering a sense of connection and empathy among our students. As they read about the sacrifices made by individuals and families during the Revolution, they are beginning to appreciate the value of perseverance, teamwork, and standing up for what is right. These stories serve as powerful reminders of the resilience and determination that have shaped our country, and they inspire our students to think critically about the challenges we face in the present day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made all of this possible, and we cannot thank you enough for your support. Providing our students with access to high-quality, age-appropriate books is essential to their education and personal growth. By donating these books, you have shown our students that their education matters and that there are people who believe in their potential. This gesture not only enhances their academic journey but also helps build their confidence and sense of belonging.\r\n\r\nI want to express our heartfelt gratitude once again. Your donation has made a meaningful impact on our 4th-grade students, and it will continue to inspire them for years to come. Thank you for helping us bring history to life and for supporting our mission to nurture lifelong learners.","fullyFundedDate":1729383111639,"projectUrl":"project/i-survived-4th-grade/8800453/","projectTitle":"I Survived 4th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Owens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8361703_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687235788007","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tiffanyowens"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92662","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":588,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":81,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":67.4,"schoolId":92662,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Red Bank Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Red Bank Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/hamilton-county-schools/red-bank-elementary-school/92662"}
