I have introduced them over the past two weeks with all of my third, fourth, and fifth grade classes. Over 350 students have had the opportunity to learn how to code with these amazing robots. The excitement has been through the roof. It has been so much fun to watch their eyes light up and see them process coding in a hands on way. I only get them for a half hour once a week so our time is short. Some of the statements from students, \"I have never had this much fun learning.\" \"I want one for Christmas.\" \"I can't wait until next week.\" \"Watch what it does Mrs. Carlson, it's so cool.\" It has brought a true love of learning to our classroom. \r\nThe students are so grateful to be able to use these Ozobots and continue learning with them. We are very blessed to have received such a generous donation as technology is not easily accessed at schools. It is truly amazing to see these students fully engaged in their learning. I am excited to continue learning with the students as we build our understanding. None of this would be possible without you and we are so appreciative. Thank you again for making this all possible.","fullyFundedDate":1758839046397,"projectUrl":"project/robotics-for-all-bringing-coding-to-li/9689676/","projectTitle":"Robotics for All: Bringing Coding to Life!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carlson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2583874_orig.jpg?crop=120,120,x0,y1&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757446720553","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/elisabeth-carlson"},{"teacherId":9289885,"projectId":7937059,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating! \r\n\r\nFlexible seating allows students to choose where and how they learn best—on wobble stools, cushions, standing desks, or rugs. This sense of ownership and comfort often helps them focus better and stay on task longer. Movement options (like wobbly stools or floor cushions) help meet the physical needs of young children who naturally have lots of energy.\r\n\r\nFlexible seating makes the classroom feel less formal and more like a community space. Different options meet different sensory and comfort needs, making every child feel included—especially those who struggle to sit still or need extra movement to focus.","fullyFundedDate":1698867846976,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/7937059/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hokenson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9289885_orig.png?crop=558,558,x363,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695243541921","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9289885"},{"teacherId":9055966,"projectId":9377968,"letterContent":"The nursing clipboards are making a big difference in our classroom.

They love having a sturdy surface to write on, and the storage inside helps them stay organized throughout the day.\r\n\r\nBecause of these clipboards, students can transition smoothly between activities without losing focus.
