Your contribution has had a meaningful and immediate impact on my students, and I want to take a moment to share the incredible progress we've seen because of you.\r\n\r\nWith the funds you provided, the Dash Robots was able to be purchased and the necessary instructional materials to integrate robotics into our technology curriculum. These tools have opened the door for students to engage with coding, engineering, and problem-solving in ways that are both exciting and accessible.\r\n\r\nAlready, students have begun exploring block-based coding, learning how to program movement, lights, and sound, and developing early robotics skills. More importantly, this hands-on project has sparked collaboration, creativity, and confidence. Many of my students are experimenting with technology for the first time, and they are discovering new strengths, new interests, and new possibilities for their futures.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create an environment where students feel empowered, curious, and eager to learn. The Dash Robots are more than educational tools—they are vehicles for innovation, and they are helping our students build skills that will prepare them for high school, college, and careers in the growing fields of technology and computer science.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of our entire classroom, thank you for believing in us and investing in their success. We are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1759265421328,"projectUrl":"project/stem-can-be-fun/9722914/","projectTitle":"STEM Can Be Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Norman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10267149"},{"teacherId":9509282,"projectId":9809064,"letterContent":"Since you were able to fund our project, students have been able to learn crochet and build their own snowglobes! Students were excited to create their own projects, especially as the holiday season approached.\r\n\r\nWe started with the crochet kits, and students began making their dinosaurs. They were so happy to see the accessories that went with the dinosaurs. One student created a professor dino with glasses, and the other made an angel dino! \r\n\r\nLater, we made snowglobes, and that was a massive success! Due to your help, students were able to create their own scenes, and everyone had fun! It was the most successful craft of the year so far! Students who were not interested previously jumped at the chance to make snowglobes for the season! It was so wonderful to see and we have you to thank!\r\n\r\nSo, with this holiday season, please have my heartfelt thanks and gratitude for donating to our classroom and helping students find and create handcrafted love and joy!","fullyFundedDate":1760903141162,"projectUrl":"project/handcrafted-love-and-joy/9809064/","projectTitle":"Handcrafted Love and Joy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Franklin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9509282"},{"teacherId":10276168,"projectId":9752221,"letterContent":"On behalf of my club students, my co-sponsor Mr. Roper, I want to express my appreciation for your donor of a Karaoke machine.
