The students were super excited to have more materials for their projects to use. We were working on our Biography Fair on famous people and were able to use the double stick poster tape, paper cutters and the Cardstock paper. We will be using those materials again in June with our How to Procedural Fair in May and June. We are labeling our posters, game bins and other items with our classroom labeler. The magnetic holders are being used for math and science. We will be using the colored bins soon for science projects.

I really like doing certain activities such as students making their own cars and testing them out to figure out data on races and how to make their cars better. I also think it's important to make math fun and into games or centers, which I'm doing with the whiteboards. Also, some students are struggling with fractions so I found these great wipe off boards with hands-on materials for students to do in small group. The dividers are very helpful so kids can work independently.

The kids really loved having ring pops for treats and surprises. I don't give treats out often, but having the ring pops it's a nice surprise for when they've earned something for working so academically hard.

Thank you again for your generous donations. It has been wonderful watching my students enjoy independent reading.

When struggling readers connect their learning to personal interests, this leads to better comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, and a lifelong love of reading. \r\n\r\nMost importantly, they foster a love of reading by making success achievable! \r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness!","fullyFundedDate":1770241059136,"projectUrl":"project/bring-on-new-and-exciting-books/10048265/","projectTitle":"Bring on New and Exciting Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Scheinoha","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3119532_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y91&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662033675878","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3119532"},{"teacherId":9586698,"projectId":9709386,"letterContent":"We can't not wait to use these resources once it gets warmer here!
