Because of you, my classroom was filled with exciting new books that are already making a meaningful difference in the lives of my students.Teaching children how to read is truly my passion.

Your donation has helped create more of those magical moments.\r\n\r\nWith these new books, my students now have access to stories that inspire, challenge, and reflect their own experiences. I've watched reluctant readers become more confident, and eager readers dive even deeper into their love of books. These texts have sparked meaningful conversations, improved fluency, and most importantly, reminded each child that reading is not just a skill, it's a joy.

This means, more jobs will be based in tech so why not allow them to start learning and understanding at an early age before they go out into the world to seek job opportunities. \r\nThese mini robots will allow my students to work in groups to learn how to collaborate, code, and create new opportunities in peaking interests outside of their regular ideas. Some kids have never worked with robots or coding so they aren't sure whether or not it is something they are interested in. If they have the opportunity then they may discover that one day they do want to work in the tech world. \r\nAll of my students have always tried and been hooked on the idea of working with new tech.
