Thank you so very much for your generous donation. Donors like you make learning opportunities like these possible! I am so excited to begin learning, exploring, creating and innovating with this Lego kit. The possibilities are endless and the growing that will come for students with this kit are never ending.”
Thank you so very much for your thoughtful and generous donation. STEM has become a part of our everyday learning in my classroom and I strive to give my students all of the opportunities possible to be creative and innovative. Having different options of materials for STEM activities allow my students the ability to be just that!”
Thank you so very much for your generous and thoughtful donation. Donors like you have made STEM learning opportunities possible as a part of a day to day routine for my students. This will allow my students opportunities to collaborate, innovate, code and create as they complete tasks and projects that correlate to our science curriculum.”

Thank you so very much for your thoughtful and generous donations! My students will be so excited to use these materials to carry out our house system with bright and fun colors! To go with that, they will be able to earn or purchase fidgets with their hard earned class dollars. Thank you for making this possible for my students!”
Thank you so very much for your generous donation! I am so excited to have the technology needed to accommodate STEM robots in my classroom to inspire learning, creativity and innovation for years to come. I am so beyond grateful for the opportunities this has provided my students with and look forward to seeing the growth that comes with it.”
My class is SO excited to be able to have this type of technology in our class. With this, we are able to use it along with robots we love using like Sphero's, Ozobot Evo and Dash and Dot. These robots follow a curriculum for coding, which is a 21st century skill that allows students to use all the parts of their brain to problem solve and work collaboratively to solve problems and be innovative thinkers. They have also been able to use it to project work and projects onto the board digitally. Allowing them to use features like highlighting with the pen tool to note their thinking. We are excitedly looking forward to all of the possibilities and learning with this!”

My students are LOVING our new robot friends! They were so excited to be able to use these as a regular part of our day to day tasks. We started using them by using the "play" mode, where they learned to navigate the bot through obstacle courses using the cones and the pins to go 'bowling'. What fun! As they grew accustomed to maneuvering the device, we switched to "edu" mode where they have now been using the coding features to drive the bot through obstacle courses. The coding feature involves more math, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and measuring angles. Because of this, we have been able to connect these to MANY of the skills we have been learning and practicing during our math time. Angles became WAY more fun learning how to measure them with a protractor AND the Sphero! I am so thankful that this type of deeper thinking and problem solving has become a part of our daily routine, thanks to these nifty little robots!”
These seats will help students have a designated place to organize their school supplies that they can call their own. They are used to having to share things, whether it be supplies at school or their bed at home with other siblings. This will be the perfect way for us to have a place for them to sit at their tables and a place for them to learn and practice organizational skills that they will carry with them throughout their entire life. The seats will also be beneficial from year to year as other 3rd grade students come into the classroom.
