My very special littles littles are having a ball using the gear robot. \r\nThey are learning so many new things. They're learning the very basics of coding, they are learning to share, they are learning to communicate with the robot by way of coding and in that way telling it what to do. All of this is only done after they are able to work as a group to put together a robot that will in fact function to begin with, because as they have found, if they don't place the gears just right, the whole robot may malfunction.","fullyFundedDate":1766500430939,"projectUrl":"project/critical-thinking-through-experiential-l/9970564/","projectTitle":"Critical Thinking Through Experiential Learning and Hands on Coding Experiments!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. I.Y.

As a STEM-focused elementary classroom, our time is spent solving problems, collaborating with peers, building ideas, and developing critical thinking skills that will serve students far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nTo ensure this learning happens effectively, students need both reliable access to essential materials and an environment that supports their ability to focus and engage. This project is designed to meet both of those needs.\r\n\r\nBy providing basic classroom supplies—such as pencils, erasers, and color paper—this project ensures that every student has the tools required to fully participate in daily learning activities. These items may seem simple, but they are foundational. Without them, valuable instructional time is often lost, and students may feel unprepared or left out.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, this project introduces flexible seating options to create a more student-centered learning environment. Flexible seating empowers students to choose spaces that help them stay focused, self-regulate, and feel comfortable. When students are physically supported, they are more likely to engage deeply, collaborate effectively, and take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this project goes beyond materials—it creates equitable access, fosters independence, and supports the whole child. With the right tools and environment, students are better equipped to succeed academically and develop confidence in their abilities.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting a classroom where every child has the opportunity to thrive.\r\n\r\nSincerely,","fullyFundedDate":1773417074790,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials-flexible-seating/10101481/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials & Flexible Seating for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Belchi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6147224_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1552969352220","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6147224"},{"teacherId":8533047,"projectId":9959558,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the generosity you have shown towards getting this project funded.
