Those challenges have helped my students work hard and really get them excited about learning. This kit also helps us cover STEM topics.

The Wild Robot books have provided literary discussions helping students reach a whole new level. Beyond just understanding the plot, these books are inspiring our students to create their own stories using narrative writing. Additionally, these specific stories have sparked deep conversations about resilience, empathy, and community, helping students connect the pages to their own lives and the world around them.\r\n\r\nOn any given day, reading in our classroom is a vibrant, active experience. During our Socratic Seminars, the room buzzes with energy. You will see students leaning across desks, books open, eagerly pointing to specific passages to defend their opinions while using \"Better Thinking Classrooms\" strategies for group collaboration. Because they love the material, reading has become a pleasurable experience. \r\n\r\nWhile the entire class has benefited, these books have been a game-changer for a few specific groups. In particular, several of our reluctant readers—who previously struggled to stay focused during reading periods—have been completely captivated. For instance, one student who used to avoid reading at all costs recently asked if they could take The Wild Robot home to continue reading because they \"just couldn't wait to see what happens next.\" Furthermore, seeing characters navigate adversities and complex relationships has given many students opportunities to practice social emotional skills as they build friendships.","fullyFundedDate":1772149329150,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-the-wild-robot-a-classroom-ad/9865617/","projectTitle":"Exploring The Wild Robot: A Classroom Adventure","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Solano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10336201_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1780488709631","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10336201"},{"teacherId":6130303,"projectId":10121633,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your very generous contributions to our Spring Paint and Plant project.

They had such a great time. Than you again for donating to our project.

The third graders at my school love to learn the recorder and to earn belts through \"Recorder Karate\". They participate in a winter program in front of family and friends and those who have earned a black belt then have a special concert for parents at the end of the year. This is extremely important to the students in third grade and it becomes quite a competition to see who can earn their black belts. I love that they are also each other's biggest supporters and will cheer each other on. Music is a universal language and students who may struggle in other areas often shine in our recorder class.

It is essential that we have the tools we need to make sure the year runs smoothly. While these items may seem small at first glance they are extremely important to establishing and maintaining a working classroom. Third graders love to sharpen pencils and this can become out of hand but with their personal sharpeners they quickly learn that they do not need to exchange pencils with every line they write and they learn to manage their work time by using their own sharpeners at their seats. Likewise, the pencil boxes will replace those that have been broken and will help students maintain their essential supplies so that they are ready to go throughout the day. The fine tip Crayola markers are great for annotating, proving a point, and of course, creating art.

Students have to learn how to annotate material in order to dissect a text and look for meaning, identify vocabulary and context clues, as well as find key features/points to support the main idea. Using colored highlighters helps students visualize what makes each of these text features important and how to differentiate between the key points and the main idea. Using wax highlighters rather than traditional highlighters allows students to read and annotate a text without the ink bleeding through the pages so they can annotate and still read what is on the following pages. This is key for third graders as they are still learning how much force to use when highlighting. \r\n\r\nThe spiral notebooks allow us an opportunity to write to a daily prompt on paper and practice or paragraph writing along with our handwriting skills. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for the support you provide for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1771006486748,"projectUrl":"project/highlighting-good-work/10094105/","projectTitle":"Highlighting Good Work","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Ryan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp31219_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y540&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662282607558","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stacie-ryan"},{"teacherId":6339480,"projectId":10093083,"letterContent":"My students have loved reading James and the Giant Peach.
