The new educational games like Word on the Street and Multiplication Splat have completely transformed our review time into something students look forward to every day. Instead of worksheets or technology, students get to have hands-on fluency practice in reading and math skills. \r\n\r\nThese resources have really helped with both enrichment and intervention on all of the essential academic skills that are very much needed in a fourth grade classroom.

We used the Who Would Win books to bring reading and writing together. The students read the books and learned about each animal, and chose a winner. Then they wrote an opinion essay to support their winner. It was a fun way to learn about their favorite animals and bring writing to life. \r\n\r\nAnother favorite book of the class was the Couch Potato! It is always a great feeling to see their faces light up when reading a good book.

It has become a central spot for reading groups, collaborative work, and even quiet reflection time. One special moment was when we used the couch was during our storytelling project: students took turns building different shapes with the couch and then created imaginative stories based on the \"scene\" they built. It has truly transformed our classroom into a more flexible, comfortable, and creative learning environment.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the couch, they could hardly contain their excitement! Their reactions were pure joy and curiosity.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, the couch will continue to be a key part of our classroom setup. After state testing, students will work on a \"design challenge\" where they use the couch to create different structures related to themes we're studying, like habitats and landmarks. It's incredible to see how a simple, versatile piece of furniture can spark so much creativity, collaboration, and learning!","fullyFundedDate":1732306309161,"projectUrl":"project/a-cozy-reading-nook/8477793/","projectTitle":"A Cozy Reading Nook","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Richardson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8721100_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689814929551","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8721100"},{"teacherId":4944262,"projectId":8520185,"letterContent":"This project has made a difference in my students learning!
