By integrating stepping stones, a floor ten-frame, and hula hoops into daily reading and math instruction, students engage their bodies while strengthening their minds. These tools make abstract concepts tangible, boost engagement, and support whole-child development—enhancing focus, coordination, and retention. With your support, learning becomes active, joyful, and unforgettable.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting our DonorsChoose project!

For many of them, this is their very first experience using technology not just to consume content, but to create, explore, and experiment. With these robots, my students are learning essential 21st-century skills like sequencing, cause and effect, logical reasoning, and problem-solving—all through play-based, hands-on experiences that are perfect for their age and developmental level. What's even more powerful is how the robots naturally encourage collaboration and communication, as students work in pairs or small groups to figure out how to give their robots the right set of instructions.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students the most is the immediate feedback they get from their efforts. When they enter a sequence of commands and see the robot follow their code, they light up with joy and confidence. They cheer when it works, and they try again when it doesn't—without fear of failure. The learning is active, joyful, and deeply meaningful. One student who was previously hesitant to participate in group activities has become one of our most enthusiastic coders. She now takes the lead during robot challenges, patiently helping her peers understand how to adjust their commands and troubleshoot problems. It's been incredibly rewarding to watch her—and others—grow more confident, curious, and willing to take risks.\r\n\r\nThis kind of learning experience would not have been possible without your support. Thank you for helping us open new doors for our youngest learners! Your generosity has truly sparked a love of learning that will last far beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1739813632217,"projectUrl":"project/coding-for-curious-minds-code-go-robo/9063881/","projectTitle":"Coding for Curious Minds: Code & Go Robots in Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rice","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8848896_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1668865155172","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8848896"},{"teacherId":557016,"projectId":8754518,"letterContent":"Wilson Little Falcons room 10 would like to thank all of you for your generous donations to our classroom! We are so happy to have yummy snacks while we are learning. It felt like Christmas morning as we opened package after package of snacks.

This really helps give them that boost to get through our mornings before lunch time.\r\n\r\nWe have already used some of the crafting paper to create x-rays of our hands as we learned about the human body.
