Having healthy snacks available in the classroom makes a huge difference to these kiddos. \r\nWhen my students saw the snacks they got really excited. They started asking: \"Are those for us?\". My goal is for them to be able to focus more and be able to retain what they are learning. The school day is long for students and they use a lot of energy trying to stay focused and learn what they are being taught.

The products I have selected will help my students by giving them privacy boards for student desks, clipboards, rulers, colored pencil sharpener, magnetic dry erase holder, and flashlights that support more effective learning throughout the year and needed storage for water bottles. \r\nPrivacy boards minimize distractions and promote focused learning. Clipboards provide a portable and stable writing surface. Rulers provide students with hands-on experiences, allowing them to directly interact with the objects and concepts they are learning about. A colored pencil sharpener is designed to handle the softer, waxier lead of colored pencils, preventing breakage and ensuring a sharper point without damaging the colored pencil or the sharpener. Using flashlights enhances learning, fostering creativity, and promotes social interaction. A water bottle shoe organizer helps reduce clutter, prevents spills, and makes water bottles easily accessible for students. The 2 piece magnetic dry erase marker holder does not slide and fall off the board. It is mounted at student level.","fullyFundedDate":1755887876072,"projectUrl":"project/student-educational-materials/9583465/","projectTitle":"Student Educational Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5292763_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683572146201","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5292763"},{"teacherId":3543527,"projectId":9499045,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping me keep appealing items in the treasure box.

As the story explored various holiday traditions celebrated by Harry and his classmates, my students were able to relate to the characters while also learning about customs different from their own. This exposure encouraged meaningful discussions in our classroom, where students eagerly shared their own family traditions and listened with curiosity and respect to their peers' experiences. It was heartwarming to witness their growing understanding and empathy for different cultures.\r\nMoreover, the humor and relatable school setting kept my students engaged and excited about reading. Many of them, even reluctant readers, were eager to dive into the next chapter, which significantly boosted their confidence in their reading abilities. The story's playful yet thoughtful narrative prompted my students to think critically about how kindness and acceptance can make a difference, both in the classroom and beyond. Several students were inspired to write about their own holiday traditions, and a few even suggested organizing a classroom celebration to honor different cultures.\r\nFinally, Horrible Harry and the Holidaze sparked a sense of curiosity and a love for storytelling that extended beyond our reading sessions. My students began asking thoughtful questions about the holidays mentioned in the book and expressed a desire to learn more about celebrations around the world. This enthusiasm not only enriched our literacy activities but also created an environment where diversity was celebrated and valued. I am confident that the lessons learned through this story will stay with my students, helping them develop compassion and understanding as they grow.","fullyFundedDate":1734302379808,"projectUrl":"project/horrible-harry-and-the-holidaze-a-gift/9004829/","projectTitle":"Horrible Harry and the Holidaze: A Gift of Holiday Reading!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cass","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp539641_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1625774945778","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lcass"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_87115","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":468,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":23,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":65.3,"schoolId":87115,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alexander Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alexander Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/commerce-public-schools/alexander-elementary-school/87115"}
