We are a Title I school with over seventy percent of our students being disadvantaged economically. To say these items brought happiness would be an understatement. \r\nThe students all loved using the robots and making codes to watch them operate. They have enjoyed building and making the coding charms. The coding charms have been the biggest hit! Some students especially enjoyed creating their own code to make these charms. \r\nI have a few autistic children that have really benefited from many of the items. If these particular children are having a rough time, they enjoy coming to my room to destress and use the maniulatives. This is good therapy and helps to cheer them up. \r\nI use Code.org in my classroom often. Having the hands on materials that they can see, use and develop has taught a deeper level of understanding coding for my students. Your generous donations has been such a blessing!","fullyFundedDate":1787848617549,"projectUrl":"project/build-it-learn-it/10309630/","projectTitle":"Build It & Learn It","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dupuie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4958235_orig.jpg?crop=1101,1101,x0,y179&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1779897470662","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4958235"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34499","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":355,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 7","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":34499,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Castlewood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Castlewood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/russell-county-school-district/castlewood-elementary-school/34499"}
