Funded Jan 10, 2017Thank you so much for your donations to this project! The impact of this project will last for quite a long time. Just having exposure to these materials has an impact. My original reason for requesting these items was just to give my students a chance to be exposed to technology and coding. We use our code and go robot every Thursday, during what is now known as "Tinker Time Thursday." The kids ask every day if it's tinker time. And when I finally say yes, they immediately ask if they are the ones that will be able to use the chromebook or the robots (that we have named Colby and Jack)--they talk about them like they are real. :) In an age where children become bored easily with things, it amazes me how still after a few months they are still just as excited about Tinker Time Thursday as they were the very first time.
Thank you again, I truly feel that we have opened the eyes of some of the youngest learners and exposed them to opportunities that they might not have ever imagined.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Burt
