They sorted costumes, props, and tech supplies, proudly deciding where everything should go.

Now, as an educator, I see those same skills come to life in my classroom. On behalf of the students at Channing ISD, I want to express my deepest thanks for supporting our DonorsChoose project, \"Bring Robotics Back\" (9619207), and with your generosity, robotics is back in our classrooms. Your donation has moved our computer science program beyond theory and into the tangible, real-world engineering and coding necessary for successful modern careers.\r\n\r\nYour investment provided us with two Makeblock mBot2 Rover Kits. These platforms are far more sophisticated than the development tools I used a decade ago in the field. Our students are no longer just watching outputs on a screen; they are writing code that controls physical objects in the real world. We are actively bridging the gap between introductory block coding and production-ready Python, using the CyberPi main control boards.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of the Students of Channing ISD\r\nTechnology/Computer Science, Esports and Yearbook Coordinator","fullyFundedDate":1755532656947,"projectUrl":"project/bring-robotics-back/9619207/","projectTitle":"Bring Robotics Back","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flanagan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10186645"},{"teacherId":8959452,"projectId":9251348,"letterContent":"A Heartfelt Thank You from Our Classroom!\r\nWe are absolutely thrilled and incredibly grateful for your generous donation of 12 desks, several chairs, organizing buddies, and 20 headphones to our classroom! Your kindness has made a tangible difference in our learning environment, and we wanted to share just how much these resources mean to us.\r\n\r\nHow We're Using Our New Resources\r\nThe impact of your donation was immediate and profound. The new desks and chairs have transformed our classroom into a more flexible and collaborative space. We've been able to create various learning zones: some desks are arranged for small group discussions, while others are set up for independent work. This flexibility has been a game-changer, allowing students to choose the learning environment that best suits their needs for different tasks.\r\n\r\nA specific moment that comes to mind is during our recent \"Invention Convention\" project. Students were tasked with researching a real-world problem and designing an innovative solution. The new headphones were invaluable! Students could immerse themselves in research videos and audio clips without distracting their peers, leading to deeper focus and more creative ideas. The organizing buddies helped keep their project materials, sketches, and notes tidy and accessible, fostering a sense of responsibility and organization. It was wonderful to see them so engaged, working independently yet collaboratively, all thanks to the improved environment.\r\n\r\nStudent Reactions\r\nThe day the materials arrived was filled with pure excitement! When the students first walked in and saw the bright, new desks and the comfortable chairs, their eyes lit up. There were gasps of \"Wow!\" and \"These are so cool!\" Many immediately gravitated towards the headphones, eager to try them out. It wasn't just about the new items; it was about the feeling that someone cared enough to invest in their learning. They felt valued and excited to learn in their refreshed space. The immediate shift in their demeanor was palpable – a renewed sense of enthusiasm and readiness to tackle their studies.\r\n\r\nWhat's Next for Our Students\r\nYour contribution has truly given our students a wonderful boost, and they're already looking forward to what's next! For our upcoming unit on local ecosystems, the students will be conducting research on various habitats and species. The headphones will continue to be crucial as they watch documentaries and listen to expert interviews. The flexible desk arrangements will allow for seamless transitions between individual research, peer collaboration, and presenting their findings. We're planning to have them create interactive digital presentations, and the ability to work without distraction will be key to their success. Your generosity is directly supporting their journey to become independent, collaborative, and engaged learners.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your incredible support. You've not only provided us with essential resources but also instilled a sense of pride and motivation in our students. We are so grateful to have you as a partner in their education!","fullyFundedDate":1746786375053,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-and-connection-in-the-classroom/9251348/","projectTitle":"Comfort and Connection in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Barber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8959452_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1676051282818","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8959452"},{"teacherId":8959452,"projectId":9192333,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible science materials that have been provided for our classroom. These resources are already making a meaningful difference in the way my second-grade students engage with science, and I'd love to share how each item has contributed—or will contribute—to their hands-on learning experiences.\r\nLakeshore STEM Science Station – Sink or Float\r\n This interactive station has allowed my students to explore buoyancy and density in a fun and meaningful way. During science rotations, they test various objects and make predictions, then record and discuss the outcomes. It's been especially helpful in developing their inquiry skills and vocabulary, such as \"hypothesis,\" \"observation,\" and \"conclusion.\"\r\nLakeshore Truth or Myth? Science Kit – 11 Experiments\r\n This kit is perfect for critical thinking and hands-on experimentation. We've used it during our Friday STEM challenge time. The students are presented with a \"myth\" and must use experimentation to determine whether it's true or false. This has not only sparked curiosity but has helped students learn how to follow multi-step procedures and work collaboratively.\r\nPrimary Science Jumbo Magnifiers\r\n The magnifiers are a favorite during our observation stations. Whether we're studying leaves, rocks, or even insects, these tools have made it easier for students to examine the fine details and discuss what they see. The large size makes them perfect for young learners who are still developing motor skills.\r\nLakeshore Science Viewers – Animals, Insects & Spiders, Sea Life","fullyFundedDate":1744032985653,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-scientific-exploration/9192333/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Scientific Exploration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Barber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8959452_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1676051282818","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8959452"},{"teacherId":3687322,"projectId":8694553,"letterContent":"I teach at a low socio-economic school in which over half of our enrollment are transfer students.

By having this color printer, I am able to produce these types of copies now, right here in my room! The construction paper is helpful for art projects that we do each week for our English lessons. My students are always so excited for their art projects each week and they love being able to add color to our hallway when we display them for all to see.\r\n\r\nThese purchases have made a big impact on our classroom and I can't thank you enough for these.
