They learned how a tiny computer works and used makecode to make their micro:bits react with different expressions at the push of a button.\r\n\r\nWatching their excitement as they solved problems, fixed bugs, and celebrated their successes has been amazing. Students who were unsure about coding at first quickly gained confidence and couldn't wait to show off what they created.\r\n\r\nYour support has given my students the chance to think like engineers, be creative, and discover that they can build technology, not just use it.

We ask that students bring headphones for the year, but with not all families can provide that. Headphones are essential because the students use their computers daily. Whether we give digital activities tied to their learning, they use the literacy program provided by the curriculum, or a computer game we found. We do not shy away from online resources but want to teach the importance of individual time. The headphones really reiterated the individual part. \r\n\r\nWith the other items fulfilled, I want to say thank you! A classroom is only as welcoming as the teacher can make it. With limited resources, I appreciated this platform to provide some things that I couldn't at the time. You saw this listing, took time to read it, and gift which meant so much to me and my students.

I was able to add tools to the classroom like a cozy carpet, calm down corner regulators, books, and literacy tools. With this being my second year teaching a new curriculum, I was looking for ways to expand my reach and fill the gaps the curriculum left. How can I better help the students read? How can I better help the students feel community in the classroom? How can I strive for higher which is what they deserve. \r\n\r\nAnother aspect to this was the snacks. This year, Kindergarten had the latest lunch and the students really felt that. We needed to provide snacks every day to keep them energized and ready for the following lessons. I am happy I was able to give the students the fuel they needed to keep pushing through their learning. This donation allowed me to expand what I thought I knew teaching and added more of a community for these students. Thank you so much for taking the time to even look at the listing.
