My kiddos have been so good at taking care of these items. They have also developed their organization skills by placing work in their folders and not losing it. They were happy to see the fruit snacks and jelly beans as well. The treats have been motivators in engagement, they have also helped them stay focused.\r\n\r\nThrough your donation my students have the opportunity to develop organizational habits.

We use them during whole group instruction to model number relationships and during small group practice to build fluency with addition, subtraction, and making ten. One standout moment was watching students independently represent the same number in multiple ways by sliding beads, explaining their thinking out loud, and checking one another's work with confidence. These tools have helped make abstract math concepts visible and tangible for all learners.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the rekunreks, their reaction was immediate excitement and curiosity. Many students asked if they could use them \"right away,\" and several who are usually hesitant in math jumped in eagerly. Because the beads are hands-on and colorful, students felt more comfortable experimenting, making mistakes, and trying again. I've especially seen growth from students who benefit from visual and tactile learning because they're more engaged and more willing to explain their reasoning.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, students will continue using the rekunreks as we work on strengthening number sense, place value, and mental math strategies. These tools will support upcoming lessons where students justify their thinking and solve problems in multiple ways. Your contribution has given my students a resource they will use all year long, helping them build confidence, deepen understanding, and see themselves as capable mathematicians. Thank you for giving our classroom this meaningful opportunity to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1761933646615,"projectUrl":"project/beads-of-knowledge-building-base-10-bri/9474736/","projectTitle":"Beads of Knowledge: Building Base-10 Brilliance","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Akbari","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9000531_orig.jpg?crop=1169,1169,x514,y221&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737844422164","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9000531"},{"teacherId":6316859,"projectId":9994618,"letterContent":"I wanted to give my heartfelt thank you for what you did for me and my students.

Because of you, our students now have hands on opportunities to learn in exciting and meaningful ways. In our kindergarten through second grade classrooms, students will be able to use the Botley 2.0 Coding Robots to practice early problem solving and sequencing skills. Without screens, students program Botley using simple commands, which helps them understand how giving clear instructions leads to specific outcomes. In grades three through five, students are working with micro, small programmable devices that allow them to explore coding, math, and science concepts while creating real, interactive projects. \r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is that they are not just using technology they are creating with it. Younger students light up as they successfully guide Botley through obstacle courses they design themselves, celebrating each small success and eagerly trying again when things don't work the first time. Older students are especially motivated by the micro because they can program lights, buttons, and sensors, turning abstract coding concepts into something they can see and touch. This sense of control and creativity has made learning feel like an adventure rather than an assignment.\r\n\r\nSome students who previously struggled with confidence have especially thrived with this technology. I have seen students who are usually quiet take leadership roles by explaining coding steps to classmates, and others persist longer through challenges because they are excited to test their ideas.
