Your donation has allowed me to create a space where gifted learners can explore creativity, collaboration, and coding in meaningful ways. Last year, we enjoyed using the Ozobots to support our 7th-grade ELA assignments. I was able to intertwine coding with reading and writing in a way that helped students develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. This hands-on approach boosted their confidence, encouraged teamwork, and deepened their understanding of language arts standards, all while allowing them to express their creativity in a fun and innovative way.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, I am thrilled to expand our Ozobot activities beyond ELA into Math, Science, and History. The versatility of these tools means we can use them for everything from individual exploration to group challenges, integrating STEM skills into multiple subject areas. Because of your generosity, my students are learning to think like innovators, problem-solvers, and collaborators, skills that will serve them for years to come. Your investment is helping open their minds to new ways of learning, and for that, I am truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1745095225081,"projectUrl":"project/from-lines-to-logic-teaching-programmin/9257832/","projectTitle":"From Lines to Logic: Teaching Programming Concepts With Ozobots","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lewis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10000159"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1724","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":839,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":53,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.4,"schoolId":1724,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Red Oak Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Red Oak Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/nash-rocky-mount-public-schools/red-oak-middle-school/1724"}
