Having snacks available allowed me to support students who came to class or stayed for clubs hungry, helping them feel cared for and ready to learn. This was especially valuable during longer STEM and robotics activities, when students needed to maintain their focus and energy. Providing snacks also helped create a welcoming environment where students knew their basic needs were important and that they were supported.\r\n\r\nThe cleaning supplies were equally valuable in a hands-on STEM classroom. PreK–5 students regularly work with building materials, robotics equipment, craft supplies, and other materials that can become messy through exploration and engineering challenges. The donated cleaning supplies allowed me to keep tables, workspaces, tools, and shared materials clean and ready for the next group of students. This is particularly important because students from many different classes use the STEM space throughout the day.\r\n\r\nTogether, these donations made a difference far beyond simply providing snacks and cleaning products. They helped me create a classroom that is safe, welcoming, and prepared for students to explore, build, create, and solve problems. The support allowed more of my classroom resources to be used directly for STEM learning while helping ensure that students were comfortable, cared for, and able to fully participate in their learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1775749989222,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-and-supplies/10016127/","projectTitle":"Snacks and Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pillow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8630466_orig.jpg?crop=385,385,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660919199297","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8630466"},{"teacherId":8630466,"projectId":9901671,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our students now have a dedicated tablet that allows them to fully engage with Dash robots during hands-on STEM learning. Instead of watching from the sidelines or waiting for a turn, students can actively program, test, and refine their ideas in real time. This single device has opened the door for meaningful access to robotics for learners across our entire PreK–5 school.\r\n\r\nIn the classroom, the tablet has transformed how students interact with Dash. Our youngest learners practice sequencing, directionality, and cause-and-effect as they make Dash move and respond, while older students explore block-based coding, problem-solving, and debugging. Students collaborate, communicate, and think critically as they work together to bring their programs to life, building both technical skills and confidence along the way.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this tablet has helped spark excitement and curiosity about STEM for all students. Learners see themselves as coders, engineers, and creators, regardless of age or prior experience. Your support didn't just provide a piece of technology—it empowered students to explore, experiment, and imagine what they can create. Thank you for helping us inspire the next generation of innovators.","fullyFundedDate":1763591257699,"projectUrl":"project/need-another-tablet-pronto/9901671/","projectTitle":"Need Another Tablet, Pronto!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pillow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8630466_orig.jpg?crop=385,385,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660919199297","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8630466"},{"teacherId":9057935,"projectId":9586840,"letterContent":"I want to send a heartfelt thank you for your generous donations!

Their goals of legible handwriting is emerging due to these invaluable tools. The pencil grips have also proven to be useful. I have had a student who has chosen one of the grips provided. It has made a significant difference to his grasp and therefore has made it easier for him to write.
