My grant included 90 books and 2 boxes of folders. I've been giving the folders out as needed to students who need them for better classroom organization. They are the strong plastic kind which last much longer than the paper folders the students typically show up with in August. They get motivated to organize their papers when they have a pretty folder to use!\r\n The largest part of the grant request was for 90 copies of \"Fever 1793\". I am using it to supplement our new curriculum that has a unit on Mysteries and Investigations. Our classes are shorter this year and there is no time to read a complete novel in class so with your gift of 90 copies I am checking them out to my Honors students to read at home. This book will add a deeper understanding of the epidemic. You have contributed greatly to the interest level and rigor of this upcoming study.\r\n None of this would have been possible without your kindness. I am grateful for your contribution.","fullyFundedDate":1755714635489,"projectUrl":"project/strong-start-strong-students/9455794/","projectTitle":"Strong Start!

Many of my students have also enjoyed using the Play-Dough as an \"early finisher\" activity. They love to express themselves through sculpting!
