These include new books for lower reading levels for our struggling readers, and we also received new games to expand phonics, reading and writing. \r\n\r\nMy students were so excited when we received the packages with the games and the books. They could not wait to play the games. They ask every single day if we can play them. \r\n\r\nMy students are now asking for more \"Splash\" games that are on a higher grade level. We will be including these in our next Donors Choose project. We also are in great need of chapter books on higher grade levels to give away for prizes. This will encourage my readers to read more. \r\n\r\nThank you for contributing to our project.

My students was very excited to see the vibrant colors of cardstock and skin tone cardstock to use for our February projects. Printing their writing materials to place in their folders was right on time because we do a lot of writing the second half of the year. We are gearing up to start our class book study of the Wild Robot and they are super excited. The students created timelines showcasing important events in their lives. We also created a class project and writing piece about kindness and friendship. It is very important with the younger students to do a project about this topic and having the materials I need made a huge difference.
