Because of your generosity, we were able to turn an empty room with desks and chairs into a beautiful learning environment we're excited to welcome our students into each morning. Palm is becoming a great space thanks to you all!\r\n\r\nAs we started the school year, items slowly started to arrive. We were able to surprise the students with new things every few days that started making our classroom truly feel like their second home. When our stools and rug came in, we were actually able to have a meeting area where everyone had a space they wanted to sit in. The Palms were also very excited for our Learniture computer stations! Immediately everyone wanted to be a technology monitor so they can get the chance to put the chromebooks to charge.\r\n\r\nThe small things don't go unnoticed in Palm either. Your donations were able to fund materials like pencils, dry erase boards and erasers, book baggies for reading and so much more.","fullyFundedDate":1755717309763,"projectUrl":"project/building-our-first-classroom/9519599/","projectTitle":"Building Our First Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ashley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10102691_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754339173016","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10102691"},{"teacherId":676206,"projectId":2260236,"letterContent":"Thank you so much!

Having access to a physical magazine led to greater engagement for all students. They learned how to read non fiction texts, cite sources and the importance of infographics! We also used the magazine to during our natural disaster weather unit. I was able to assign article in English and Spanish from the Scholastic database.

My students were thrilled when they saw the boxes coming in and immediately wanted to dive into my materials. As the school year is coming to a close, the students are dreaming of summer and I was thankful for their newfound engagement during our sessions.\r\n\r\nA few favorites that stood out in both engagement and learning supports were the Touch and Read Phonics Word Match, Shark Bite, Critter Clinic, and the categorizing cards! My students who work on reading find the process tedious; however, with the new phonics match cards we have been able to change up sessions and include different games such as hide and seek and memory! Shark Bite has been a favorite for the older kids as they love a jump scare! It has been a great game to incorporate work such as producing sounds and expanding language. Critter Clinic has been a hit with my younger kids that are working on expanding their language and using prepositions.

With your help, they've been able to explore who they are, celebrate their uniqueness, and express themselves through colors, textures, and designs. It's been inspiring to watch each student bring their story to life in such a personal and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the game boards you made possible have brought history to life as we explored the 19th Amendment and the courageous fight for women's suffrage. My students used their creativity and newfound knowledge to design games that not only demonstrate their understanding of this pivotal moment in history but also allow them to share and teach others through interactive learning. The pride they feel in their work is immeasurable, and it's all thanks to you.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has sparked excitement, curiosity, and confidence in my students. They now see themselves as artists, historians, and innovators.

Their reactions to each and every item were precious. Each item spoke to a different student. I have one student who loves planets and can become easily distracted. We use the search and find planet board as motivation to complete challenging fine motor activities. I have other student's who really benefit from proprioceptive input in order to feel ready to work at tabletop tasks, these students love slithering like snakes, crawling like cats or walking like bears through our new tunnel. I have some older students that are working on their executive functioning skills, who love the new memory game where they challenge themselves to remember long color patterns and feel like they are playing a video game, while they are really addressing their executive functioning skills. I can go on forever but lastly, all of my students benefit from the feelings board which gives them visuals to help identify how they are feeling and choose an action to assist with self-regulation.
