Funded Dec 2, 2024My students wanted to share the impact in their own words. I will share 3 of them here:
Dear Person,
Thank you for sharing your time to find our project. We are not used to having support coming in. We aren't always thought of as good kids or successful kids, but having someone willing to help us definitely brightened our day and made us feel good. I have never played with legos, my parents never had money for that. It is fun to be creative with them, but also it is hard to follow the directions. If you miss one step the whole project can fall apart. I haven't tried to code yet. That looks scary hard, but I will probably try it soon. Thank you again for taking a chance on kids like us.
Have a good day.
Dear Community Member,
I don't know how to write in cursive so I am using this fancy font. I really wanted to thank you for sending a donation in to help the classroom earn the lego spike prime. We are learning how to follow directions, code and also work together. I would never have thought playing with Legos would be so hard. There are some kids that don't know how legos work so I am teaching them how to read the instructions too. The coding is hard for me. I am learning how to slide and stack code and also trying to learn how the words go together to make the instructions for the robots to move. We really needed someone to challenge us, and Ms. Warren does that every day. Thank you for letting her be a better teacher by donating to our classroom.
Dear Donor
Thank you helping fund the legos for coding in the classroom. This is a very hard activity for us to do. There are many kids in the classroom that have never used legos and even more of us that have never coded before. Ms. Warren has brought in books to help us learn from simple to more complicated and there are times that we have to put down the legos and walk away because we are learning so much it makes our minds hurt. I think that I might use the skills that I learned in this project to maybe learn coding in the biomedical field. There is a program at the local community college that would teach me how to put parts together and also make the instructions for them.
Thank you again for helping out our class,”
With gratitude,
Ms. Warren
