Because of your generosity, our students were able to participate in hands-on outdoor movement activities that encouraged teamwork, coordination, body control, and active learning.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful parts of this project was giving our students opportunities to move, play, and learn outside together. Students used ribbons, flying discs, hula hoops, and a colorful parachute during our outdoor learning activities. Some of our favorite parachute activities were \"Little Wave,\" \"Big Wave,\" and \"Popcorn,\" where students worked together to keep the balls bouncing on top of the parachute. Seeing students smiling, moving, cooperating, and enjoying fresh air while learning made this experience extra special.\r\n\r\nThese materials helped create meaningful outdoor experiences for our Pre-K, Head Start, and ESE students while giving them opportunities to practice listening skills, social skills, movement, and teamwork in a fun and supportive environment.

With the new resources, students were able to complete the final chapters of the book and rotate through a variety of Wonka‑themed educational games and activities. One especially memorable moment was watching the class enjoy their individual cups of hot cocoa while working—something that felt extra special since the temperatures were well below normal for the season. The resources helped transform our room into a fully decorated Wonka‑inspired space, and it truly brought the story to life for students.\r\n\r\nThe excitement on their faces when they walked into the fully decorated classroom was priceless. Many of them gasped, pointed things out to each other, and couldn't wait to explore every station. The hot cocoa was an added treat that made the experience feel magical and immersive.\r\n\r\nAlthough our Wonka thematic unit has come to an end, we're already in the planning stages for another thematic unit based on a child‑friendly book. The success of Wonka Day has energized the class, and they're eager to dive into a new story-filled adventure. Our next steps include selecting the next book, preparing hands‑on activities, and continuing to use our new materials to enrich literacy learning in creative, engaging ways.","fullyFundedDate":1766268353258,"projectUrl":"project/the-wonka-experience/9910022/","projectTitle":"The Wonka Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8079701_orig.jpg?crop=2714,2714,x1102,y26&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1645833708015","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8079701"},{"teacherId":1405090,"projectId":9948567,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our Imagination Engineers: A Chocolate Factory STEM Lab. Because of your generosity, my students were able to experience learning in a hands-on and meaningful way that connected science, engineering, and literature. When students first saw the materials and stations, their excitement was immediate. They were curious, engaged, and eager to explore, making connections to our reading of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory while asking thoughtful questions.\r\nUsing the new resources, students rotated through STEM stations where they observed chocolate melting, explored cause-and-effect through fizzy reactions, and designed creative solutions inspired by the story. Students worked collaboratively as \"imagination engineers,\" sharing observations, making predictions, and explaining their thinking. These activities increased engagement across grade levels and supported students who learn best through hands-on experiences.\r\nBecause of this project, students are continuing to use scientific vocabulary, ask deeper questions, and apply engineering thinking during future lessons and discussions. Thank you for investing in my students and helping create a learning experience that sparked curiosity, creativity, and a lasting love of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1766268352273,"projectUrl":"project/imagination-engineers-a-chocolate-facto/9948567/","projectTitle":"Imagination Engineers: a Chocolate Factory STEM Lab","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1405090_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749238438708","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/latoya-jones"},{"teacherId":1405090,"projectId":9628265,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our project, Early Learners, Early Coders.

The Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot have already sparked curiosity and boosted confidence in problem-solving and technology.\r\n\r\nWe launched our CODE QUEENS initiative for girls in grades 3–5, and these tools allowed students to not just \"play\" with technology, but to understand programming concepts like sequencing, debugging, and logical thinking. Several students who were previously hesitant to engage in STEM activities came alive while collaborating to program robots through designed paths. One student said, \"I didn't know coding could be like a puzzle I get to solve with friends!\"\r\n\r\nI've also been able to introduce foundational coding concepts during our weekly media specials, creating small centers where students rotate between digital and tactile tech tasks. The hands-on nature of the Bee-Bot helped even my younger and reluctant learners make meaningful connections. We will continue using these tools throughout the year to develop computational thinking and prepare for more complex projects in our after-school coding club.","fullyFundedDate":1755640630015,"projectUrl":"project/buzzing-into-coding-with-bee-bot-and-blu/9624783/","projectTitle":"Buzzing Into Coding with Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1405090_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749238438708","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/latoya-jones"},{"teacherId":1405090,"projectId":9401139,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our Code Queens coding club kicked off with excitement and curiosity!

This helped my students see that coding is not just about computers, but about thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.\r\n\r\nThe headsets and wireless mice are giving them the confidence to work independently on coding platforms, while the stickers and fun extras are helping build a strong sense of identity in our club. The girls are so proud to call themselves Code Queens, and the energy in the room when they collaborate, test ideas, and celebrate successes is inspiring.\r\n\r\nYour support has made it possible for my students to see themselves as creators and coders.
