These rulers are wonderful. No metal sides sticking out as a safety hazard. Only 1/4 inches as markings to clearly indicate to students what we are looking for.\r\n\r\nThe measurement for capacity and weight allow more students hands on experiences at the same time.

My students from the local tribe were excited to hear a book about powwow - an experience they just participated in over the summer. My other students may not understand powwow, but they understand mystery and making friends across cultures. \r\n\r\nOur reading of the book helps to teach the concepts of reading the words on the page, focusing on the ideas, and not allowing ourselves to get distracted, all while helping some of my vulnerable students see themselves in the words and pictures.","fullyFundedDate":1749416962855,"projectUrl":"project/see-yourself-in-a-book/9308470/","projectTitle":"See Yourself in a Book","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Evans","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp840890_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y208&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1643080078525","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jessica-evans"},{"teacherId":840890,"projectId":9216174,"letterContent":"I have a few students who are just a little wiggly and unsafe in a 4 legged chair.

New books with fresh pages and fresh stories have opened their eyes and hearts to the love of reading. They have been able to go on adventures with historical figures as well as fictional ones.
