They could also listen to books on the reading platform Epic, allowing them to be self sufficient with research, as they could have things read out loud to them.\r\n\r\nThey also very much appreciated and used the fine tip markers for scientific anchor charts. The expo markers were used to practice math on their desks, which was very exciting to them and made lessons much more seamless for me.","fullyFundedDate":1571230459985,"projectUrl":"project/every-day-supplies-for-kids-in-need/4548614/","projectTitle":"Every Day Supplies for Kids in Need","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gilchrist","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6886607_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740110230842","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6886607"},{"teacherId":6894992,"projectId":9246317,"letterContent":"The students were so excited to get all of the free books this week.
