Your generosity truly made a difference for my students.\r\n\r\nI have been using the new materials as attention grabbers and incentives for hard work in our classroom. They have been incredibly helpful in keeping my students engaged and motivated. When students know they are working toward something exciting, it helps them stay focused, goal-oriented, and eager to participate. These resources have become a great way to reinforce positive behavior and celebrate effort.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. They were curious, energized, and ready to get started. It created a positive buzz in the classroom and helped build enthusiasm around learning and participation.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue using these materials to support our classroom goals. They will remain part of our reward and motivation system as students work through lessons, complete assignments, and practice staying focused. My goal is to keep encouraging perseverance, teamwork, and responsibility while making learning a fun and engaging experience.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a classroom environment where students feel motivated and proud of their hard work.

I wanted to share specifically how these items are helping my Multilingual Learner students build confidence and proficiency in English.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been immediate, specifically regarding the 180 Days of Language workbooks. For students learning a new language, consistency is key. These workbooks provide a predictable, low-stress daily routine. The short, targeted exercises allow them to practice grammar and vocabulary in manageable \"chunks\" without feeling overwhelmed. It is amazing to watch their confidence grow as they successfully complete their daily entries!\r\n\r\nThe pocket charts have transformed how we handle sentence structure. English word order can be very confusing for MLs, but the pocket charts allow us to make language physical. We use them to manipulate word cards, rearrange sentences, and sort vocabulary words visually. It turns abstract grammar rules into a hands-on game that keeps them engaged.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboard erasers are used constantly during our \"check for understanding\" moments. We use mini-whiteboards for quick answers, which allows students to make mistakes and correct them instantly without the permanency of paper. Having proper erasers—rather than using tissues or old socks—makes the students feel professional and valued.\r\n\r\nFinally, the Clorox wipes are the unsung heroes of the classroom. Keeping our shared spaces and materials clean is vital to keeping everyone healthy and in school. A clean, organized desk helps clear the mind for learning, and your gift ensures we have a safe environment to work in every day.\r\n \r\nYour support and generosity are greatly appreciated! I cannot wait to see the continued growth in our ML students.","fullyFundedDate":1765205032872,"projectUrl":"project/english-language-proficiency/9812080/","projectTitle":"English Language Proficiency","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. O'Rourke","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2034097_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687185254715","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kelsey-alvarez"},{"teacherId":4035892,"projectId":9800771,"letterContent":"Thank you SO much for your support of our class!

They have helped our students to learn their colors quickly, and to learn how to organize the materials used in art projects, games, and manipulatives. \r\n The students use our colorful trays to practice learning and writing the letter of the day and tracing shapes. Each day we place the letter of the day and some magnetic dots in the tray. The students line the letter and then trace it with a magnetic wand to collect the dots. This is teaching science by using magnets, tracing, letters, and letter sounds.\r\n The colorful sand and water tables are such an exciting time for the students to explore texture, and to be able to create designs in the sand. So many of our students have never touched sand and this is so inspiring for them. We have put shovels and sand molds inside the sand table so that the students can pretend that they are at the beach creating.\r\n You can see how the students are using some of the bins to store their writing materials, while learning to write and spell their first name. In the art center, the students are able to clean up their materials and store them quicker through color coordination. All the bins are in rows by color and each bin has a label showing the students what is stored in that colorful bin. \r\n Once again, thankyou to everyone who has supported our PreK classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1749090221746,"projectUrl":"project/super-senses-adventure/9308936/","projectTitle":"Super Senses Adventure!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hutchinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10011261_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y586&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746157645582","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10011261"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1574","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":398,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"9.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.1,"schoolId":1574,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Berryhill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Berryhill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/charlotte-mecklenburg-school-district/berryhill-elementary-school/1574"}
