We love writing and expressing our thoughts on our readers notebooks .In the book we are reading we annotate and write down gist of the events that's occurring in the book.\r\n The book we are reading in class is called The Smoking Mirror and we enjoy discussions about it but the most amazing task we do is annotating .We are using these reading skills to become better and learn how the authors grow.We want to be sharp as a pencil to share to others and succeed.These items are given to students as they interact with each other and work in groups to complete their objective.We love our new sharpener it brings the pencil back up when it's sharp and lets us know it's our turn be sharp.\r\nLastly ,we collect our stickers on our reading folders to remind us that we can accomplish all types of tasks.We are never too grown for smelly and meme stickers.Our second week ended with wristbands that encourages them to keep learning from their mistakes and keep exploring to grow in their learning .","fullyFundedDate":1786367046736,"projectUrl":"project/sharp-as-a-pencil/10259069/","projectTitle":"Sharp As a Pencil","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vazquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9183995_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695871583528","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9183995"},{"teacherId":7508499,"projectId":7284306,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for this generous donation to our preschool classroom family!
