During this time, students can play games, draw or color, read, build with various materials, or explore different STEM activities. Many of my students love using their imagination when building with Picasso Tiles. The little figures that come with them make it even more fun, allowing students to act out different scenarios as they build.\r\n\r\nI've had a robot car in the classroom for several years now, and it has always been a favorite. That's why I was so excited to add the robot mouse this year! Right now, students are exploring how to code the mouse to guide it through the maze and reach the cheese. We haven't even opened the challenge cards yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing how their skills grow as they continue using the Code & Go Mouse throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThe Power Up! Circuit Challenge has been a completely new and different experience for them. It's so much fun to watch them struggle at first—and then light up with excitement when they finally get it to work!\r\n\r\nI can't thank you enough for helping to inspire and engage my students in STEM activities as they start their day.","fullyFundedDate":1749822423381,"projectUrl":"project/soft-start-and-stem/9273217/","projectTitle":"Soft Start and STEM","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Groth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3876175_orig.jpg?crop=1413,1413,x48,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565640771677","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/groth"},{"teacherId":4664966,"projectId":8945531,"letterContent":"Thank you for the new vertical dry erase surface and the tools to help us engage in collaboration during our math and reading.

This has been a great time for students to collaborate and engage. They are up and moving around the classroom and they are doing more thinking when they are working on problems with their friends. The vertical board is engaging them in the the learning process.
