This saves paper and allows me to print multi-page resources without having to manually flip the pages, which is a big time saver. \r\n\r\nThis printer has allowed me to create so many resources, such as multisyllabic word flash cards, manipulatives, and visual supports. Some favorite items created are the new Room on the Broom book companion manipulatives. These have been perfect to use during fall and to target sequencing, story retell, and answering wh-questions. I have also been able to print several crafts, which my students love! The best part is that these crafts are easy to send home, allowing my students to keep practicing their goals with their families.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a lasting impact by providing a resource that allows me to create materials to support my students' specific communication needs.

An example of what I have purchased is a package with materials for students in upper elementary. This resource provides several visuals and passages targeting comprehension, comparing/ contrasting, following temporal directions, and creating complex sentences. This has been greatly helpful to use with upper elementary students. With this TPT gift card, I was also able to obtain several crafts. The crafts have been motivating and exciting activities.

You can see the light on the purifier turn from red indicating the air isn't the best quality to purple when the air has filtered .

It's amazing to see young children excited for literacy. \r\nMany kids have parents who work a 9-5 job so they aren't able to go to the public library often because they close around that time. I love that the school library provides students with the chance to check out books during school hours. \r\nThe library is always full during lunch time, it gives students a chance to browse through books when they don't have a class visit that day.

For my first-grade students, the introduction of a new carpet transformed not only the physical environment but also the overall atmosphere and dynamics of our classroom.\r\n\r\nFirst and foremost, the new carpet provided a welcoming and comfortable space for the students to gather. In a first-grade classroom, much of the learning happens on the floor, whether during morning meetings, storytime, or group activities. The previous carpet was worn and stained, creating a less-than-ideal environment for young learners to sit, interact, and focus. The new carpet, vibrant and soft, immediately drew the students' attention and enthusiasm. Its bright colors and playful patterns created a visually appealing focal point in the room, sparking joy and curiosity from the moment they stepped into the classroom.\r\n\r\nBeyond comfort, the new carpet also played a significant role in improving classroom management and learning outcomes. The design of the carpet included individual squares, each large enough for a single child to sit. This feature helped establish clear boundaries during group activities, minimizing disruptions and ensuring every student had their own defined space. As a result, transitions to carpet-based activities became smoother, and students were better able to focus on the task at hand. The improved seating arrangement encouraged engagement and active participation, fostering a more productive learning environment.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the carpet became a tool for fostering a sense of community among the students. During morning meetings and story time, the carpet served as a communal space where everyone gathered to share ideas, listen to one another, and collaborate. The comfortable and inviting nature of the carpet encouraged students to express themselves more openly and connect with their peers. Over time, this strengthened relationships and created a classroom culture rooted in respect and inclusion.\r\n\r\nFinally, the new carpet supported creative and imaginative play, a cornerstone of early childhood education. The patterns and colors on the rug inspired games, storytelling, and other activities that extended beyond the structured curriculum. Students used the squares for counting games, sorting activities, and even imaginary adventures. This spontaneous use of the carpet underscored its value as more than just a physical object but as a catalyst for creativity and exploration.\r\n\r\nIn conclusion, the new classroom carpet had a significant and far-reaching impact on my first-grade students. It enhanced comfort and organization, supported learning, fostered community, and inspired creativity. While it may seem like a modest change, the carpet profoundly influenced the day-to-day experiences of my students, reminding me of the importance of creating a thoughtful and nurturing classroom environment.","fullyFundedDate":1726592767010,"projectUrl":"project/read-all-about-it-dinosaurs-are-alive-i/8428964/","projectTitle":"Read all About It!
