Mo WIllems is such a wonderful author and illustrator. Not only do young Pre-K students love his stories, but also older children in 4th grade. They are easy to read and are very entertaining.\r\n\r\nI have several low readers that can still participate in small group reading. Some of his books are a little higher on level and are great for individual reading. They are all very exciting and fun to read.\r\n\r\nEven though all my class is enjoying the new books, the lower level readers love that he uses rhyme to help them figure out some of the words. I have used his stories to teach behavior lessons, friendship, rhyming and more.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your help!!","fullyFundedDate":1755688096057,"projectUrl":"project/odds-and-ends-for-the-new-school-year/9625894/","projectTitle":"Odds and Ends for the New School Year","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gragg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1498890_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x162,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1574262037211","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1498890"},{"teacherId":10079418,"projectId":9462991,"letterContent":"Even though this project isn't based on digital technology, the new alternative seating and classroom mailboxes have completely changed the way my students learn and interact each day. The flexible seating gives them the freedom to choose where they feel most comfortable, whether it's on a wobble stool, a floor cushion, or standing at a table. This choice helps them stay focused, engaged, and excited about learning. The classroom mailboxes have also brought structure and independence to our routine.\r\n\r\nAs a first-year teacher, these resources have made such a big difference for me too. They've helped me create a classroom that runs smoothly and supports every student's learning style. The alternative seating has encouraged me to be more flexible and creative with my teaching, and the mailboxes have helped me stay organized while teaching my students responsibility at the same time. \r\nSeveral students who used to struggle with sitting still or staying focused have really benefited from the flexible seating. One student who often felt restless now loves using a wobble stool, which lets them move while still paying attention. Another student who used to lose papers constantly now proudly checks and organizes their mailbox every morning. Watching these changes has been so rewarding. It's amazing to see how a few new tools can build confidence, independence, and joy in learning.","fullyFundedDate":1753122888849,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-classroom-from-scratch-with-l/9462991/","projectTitle":"Building a Classroom from Scratch with Love!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10079418_orig.png?crop=2632,2632,x357,y796&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752524275345","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10079418"},{"teacherId":9221054,"projectId":9592576,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has come alive with hands-on learning and creativity!
