Students can label locations, outline regions, and trace routes directly on their maps. These activities help make connections between places, natural resources, and the ways people lived.\r\nThe maps make it easy for every student to participate during lessons, partner activities, and reviews. They also allow me to quickly check understanding and provide feedback. Because students can erase and try again, we can revisit important concepts and use the maps throughout the year.\r\nThank you for making social studies more visual, interactive, and meaningful. Your generosity is helping my students better understand the world and their place in it!","fullyFundedDate":1788666972756,"projectUrl":"project/mapping-our-world-hands-on-history-for/10588873/","projectTitle":"Mapping Our World: Hands-On History for 5th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2927905_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633748383262","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msharkernv"},{"teacherId":2927905,"projectId":10509456,"letterContent":"Thank You for Bringing Geography to Life!\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! Because of your kindness, my fifth graders can explore geography and history in a more engaging, hands-on way.\r\n\r\nOur new reusable maps allow students to become active learners as they trace exploration routes, locate ancient civilizations, identify geographic features, and discover how geography has shaped history. Rather than simply looking at maps in a textbook, students are able to interact with them, make connections, and demonstrate their understanding.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this gift especially meaningful is that every student has a map to use, and I will be able to enjoy these learning tools for years to come with future students.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping make learning more interactive, meaningful, and fun.

The students get to look to see how to form their lips and teeth to form the letter sounds. \r\nOur self inking stamps, stickers, and erasers have been given as rewards as they have passed levels in their math fact fluency tests.

Our pretend play kitchen looked like a ghost town prior to the addition of new pretend food items. The language and collaboration, even in our lowest functioning students, is remarkable. Our students were so excited to see boxes arriving into our room and it was like Christmas, the excitement was thrilling. \r\n Another resource we received through the generous donation was rolling drawers used by teachers to organize materials for students, especially special education students, during small group centers. These carts help store weekly projects and data collection tools to work on individualized plans.

I get to model how to write the letters of the sounds we are learning. Our open/closed sign is a great visual for the students to know when the bathroom is available and when it is not.
