I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous support in providing Dash robots for our 3rd grade classroom. Thanks to your contribution, my students have experienced a transformation in how they learn, collaborate, and engage with technology. \r\n\r\n Since the arrival of our Dash robots, a new level of excitement and curiosity has taken over our classroom. Students who were once hesitant in STEM activities now eagerly take on coding challenges. They are learning to write code to navigate Dash through obstacles, play interactive games, and even perform simple tasks - all while developing essential problem solving and critical thinking skills. \r\n\r\n The robots have also opened doors for creative expression and teamwork. I've watched students come together to brainstorm ideas, troubleshoot code, and celebrate their successes — often cheering each other on as they watch Dash complete a mission they programmed themselves. One particularly touching moment was seeing a student who typically struggles with reading confidently explain a coding sequence to a group of peers.\r\n\r\nDash has truly brought computer science to life in our classroom. Your gift has helped lay a foundation for our students to become confident learners and future innovators. More importantly, you've shown them that their ideas matter and that learning can be both challenging and fun.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and supporting their journey.\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n.","fullyFundedDate":1745474071984,"projectUrl":"project/robots-kids-future-innovators/9262817/","projectTitle":"Robots + Kids = Future Innovators!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10002856_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745139843616","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10002856"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28167","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":561,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":25,"percentAsian":80,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"26.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":92.3,"schoolId":28167,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maple Hill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maple Hill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/walnut-valley-unified-school-district/maple-hill-elementary-school/28167"}
