You have made learning in my classroom but fun and engaging. My students greatly appreciate the new materials and were very excited to use them! We did unboxing moments in the class as items came in and the students immediately wanted to start playing the literacy games and read the novels.\r\n Through the literacy games purchased, my students have had fun learning about idioms, figuring out meaning through context clues, and making inferences. Their favorite is the pirate themed Context Clues game and them will often read the context clues in their best pirate accent while playing. The \"I Survived\" series is fantastic for reading about historical events in a way that is more approachable for students. My class voted to start with the novel about the San Franciso Earthquake of 1906. While we haven't completed the book yet they have been amazed at what people lived through, and we have talked about what they can do in cases of a natural disaster. The three other titles in this series purchased through this campaign will carry us through this school year and into the next.\r\n Our plan is to increase the students' breath of knowledge through the games and books purchased and we can't thank you enough. Your contributions are helping our students become better readers and more well-rounded learners.","fullyFundedDate":1760378369255,"projectUrl":"project/help-students-with-autism-make-literary/9822839/","projectTitle":"Help Students With Autism Make Literary Connections!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cruz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7677288"},{"teacherId":4777078,"projectId":9823551,"letterContent":"My students have truly enjoyed using the games provided by the donors choose project including the story cue card.
