Our students used the trays to set their artwork out in the hallway which our custodial staff greatly appreciated! The trays have allowed the students to gain independence by putting their own artwork in the hallway without help or making a mess accidently! They had a blast! Our families loved seeing their final creations on back to school night. We started centers in the classroom recently and our dish pans are coming in quite handy for keeping us organized. Center rotations flow smoothly thanks to being able to split up their activities by color team and giving them a clear location to turn in their completed work. \r\n\r\nYour support of our new kindergarteners is greatly appreciated!

I love to start all of my STEM lessons with a book to help engage the students and provide them with a connection during our lesson. I call my lessons \"brain builders\" because we use something that happened in the story and try to solve a problem. With all the different books you have provided to my class we will have lots of \"brain building\" activities to tackle all year! \r\nAs I work with students in all grade levels in my lab I am starting the year with the \"Old Lady Who Swallowed a Frog\" book. This book allows me to talk about sequence and use lots of pictures to support are early readers and students who speak another language. We are using the coding mice to direct our mice from one picture to the next on my large mats. \r\nI help students to understand the basics of coding using the mice and equate the code to that of a recipe and directions to follow. We use the direction cards that come with the kits to make a plan before we test and see if our \"recipe\" got us to the correct location. Using these tools allows students to learn the importance of making a plan and learning to identify mistakes and fix at that specific spot, rather than always starting all over. Using the cards all stresses the importance of showing your work to check for understanding. The students love using the coding mice and this is great buy in to future coding lessons where we will connect to content. For now though, they think it is so fun to code to the different items the old lady ate.\r\nWe look forward to all the other coding activities we will get to do this year thanks to your generous donation!","fullyFundedDate":1746487868427,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-young-minds-with-coding-mice/9211090/","projectTitle":"Empowering Young Minds with Coding Mice","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Salmeto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3293349_orig.jpg?crop=1955,1955,x0,y91&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743006415170","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3293349"},{"teacherId":9605572,"projectId":9021722,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support and for helping provide much-needed supplies for my classroom.

Just this past week, we used some of our materials to create various butterfly-themed crafts :) We learned that butterfly wings are symmetrical, so for one of our projects we recreated that idea using some of our new paint colors. Each kid got to pick a couple colors to design their butterfly wings then mushed them together to get the pattern across the paper. We completed their projects by adding the thorax and head using black construction paper! They had SO much fun mixing their paint and creating their own uniquely colored butterfly! We have a very artistic class this year and they've loved being able to make something to decorate our classroom or show off in the hallway. Next up on the chopping block are our Mother's Day crafts! These crafts are always treasured by our families and kept as they grow up. Thanks to the magnets and paint colors, we're able to make them for the fridge this year! \r\n\r\nYour kindness and support of my kindergarteners is greatly appreciated! Thank you for understanding the importance of supporting public education. We love working with our hands and using our imaginations to create beautiful artwork for lessons, to give to friends and families, and for us to give as gifts!
