Funded Nov 17, 2017My students and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your extremely generous donations. Not only have the materials made an impact in the students learning, but the idea that people outside of our school and local community care about their learning has meant the world to them.
All of the materials donated were used as a part of our "Code Week" in our school. During this week, ALL of the students in our building had an opportunity to explore the various coding tools. The impact of this has been unbelievable. Students were using block coding with the Osmos and Code-a-Pillars to get their character through a maze. They were also using their creativity with Bloxels to create their own video game characters with animation. Through the exploration, parents were also able to participate and see what their children were learning and how they may support them at home.
Since "Code Week", students have shown increased interest and ability in their basic coding skills. The kindergarten and first grade students have become much better problem solvers and are excited to come to class and learn. With the various items received teachers have been able to bring coding into their classrooms as well. The items will continue to be utilized throughout the years to encourage students to be problem solvers and to learn how to code.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Polz
