Life Long Problem Solver
Funded Dec 10, 2018Thank you so much for supporting my kiddos it is greatly appreciated ! The kiddos were so excited when they saw the coding games, they love coding and solving puzzles. They are having a great time solving the puzzles. I love to see them working together and helping each other out to solve the puzzle. My kiddos are not only learning coding and problem solving from these puzzles they are learning how to work together with a partner. My kiddos are also learning how to explain their thought process to others.
Thank you once again fro supporting my kiddos and in helping me create life long problem solvers.
As always thank you for showing my kiddos that there is still kindness in the world.”

Funded Dec 14, 2018Thank you all so much for supporting my kiddos. The headphones are just what we needed. My kiddos are so thankful and happy that they can get their work done without having to hear what the kiddo next to them is doing. I also have some kiddos who get distracted and pulled off task very easily but not anymore now that they have headphones. Having the headphones has also helped teach my kiddos to become more responsible since it is their job to make sure they do not get tangled as well as making sure they get put away after class.
So this teacher considers it an all around win.
Thank you for once again supporting my kiddos and showing them that there is still kindness in the world.”

Funded Apr 19, 2018I want to thank the amazing donor and sales force for making this project possible, my kiddos and I are beyond grateful for your generosity and kindness. These rechargeable batteries are just what we needed in our technology lab to keep all of our robots that we have received through Donors Choose fully charged and ready to go. Not only are all our robots fully charged all of the time but my kiddos are learning about helping our planet. Now that we have the rechargeable batteries we have reduced the number of regular batteries that would end up in the garbage when they were no longer charged.
Thank you again for your generous donation and for showing my kiddos that there is kindness in the world.”

Funded Mar 27, 2018Thanks to the Best School Day and Ripple funding all projects my kiddos were able to get LittleBits Code Kit. My kiddos were very excited when we opened this up. You could hear a pin drop in the technology lab as I explained what they would be able to do with the LittleBits Code kit and they couldn't wait to dive right in. My kiddos have been exploring and experimenting with the LittleBits and are having a great time. It warms my teacher heart to see them working together and helping each other bring their ideas to life. I am beyond grateful and appreciate all who made this possible.

Funded Apr 17, 2018Thank you to all that donated and helped to make this project happen for my kiddos. Thank you to Verizon for matching all donations made on this project. We already have one Osmo base and Awbie coding kit which is very popular in the technology lab. When I opened the box to show my kiddos and they realized we now had two they were so excited. The addition of the second one now means that more children will be able to enjoy coding and for a longer period of time.
Thank you for showing my kiddos that there is still kindness in the world.”

Funded Apr 12, 2018Thank you to all who supported this project and helped bring it to life. I also want to thank Learning Resources for matching all offers made to this project. My kiddos were so happy to find out that we would be adding to our Botley family. The looks on their faces was priceless when we pulled out the activity set and they saw all of the different pieces they can use to create an obstacle course. My kiddos have spent the last few weeks not only improving their coding skills but exploring their creative side by creating obstacle courses. I am very thankful and appreciate all those who help and support my kiddos.

Funded May 9, 2018Teacher appreciation week 2018 was truly amazing. I want to thank everyone who donated and made this project possible. I also want to thank General Motors for matching donations made to this project. The pure joy and excitement on my kiddos faces when the box arrived is priceless.
My kiddos were very happy and excited when they figured out that with the addition of the 2nd kindle Dash and Dot can now interact with each other. Several of my kiddos are already talking and planning what Dash and Dot can do.
My kinder's were very happy to see that we are adding to our coding activities this time we were able to add Bunny Trails Robot coding activity. My kiddos are able to complete the challenge cards that are including or create their own maze. The objective is to create the maze and program the robot bunny to travel through the maze to get the carrots. Watching them work together and help each other during the activity put a smile on my face.
I cant wait to see what they have in store for this little Bunny.
As always thank you for showing my kiddos that there is still kindness in the world.”

Funded Apr 3, 2018Thank you to everyone who donated to make this project possible along with sales force for matching all donations made to this project. Your generosity and belief in my kiddos is greatly appreciated.
Clean up time is generally not a fun and exciting time in the technology lab but all of that has changed with the addition of our new storage cart and storage bins. Now that we have a labeled designated home for headphones, log in cards and coding materials it is party. We put on the clean up song , we sand and danced around putting everything into its labeled bin and were all cleaned up neat and tidy before the song was over. Not only is clean up time a breeze but my kiddos are now able to get what they need independently because everything has a home.
Thank you for showing my kiddos that there is still kindness in the world.”

Funded Mar 27, 2018Thanks to the Best School Day and Ripple funding all projects my kiddos were able to get color coded keyboards with extra large keys for the technology lab. These keyboards are going to enable my special needs learners to complete their work in the technology lab independently. I have several kiddos who struggle the using the regular keyboards and the I showed them the new keyboards the look of happiness on their faces warmed my teacher heart. Watching kiddos who before had struggled and become frustrated in the past be able to log on , type all on their own was an amazing feeling. The smiles on my kiddos faces and seeing them beaming with pride that they did it all on their own was priceless.
I am beyond grateful and appreciate all who made this possible. Thank you for showing my kiddos there is still kindness in the world.”
