My students now each have their own set of tools, which keeps supplies organized and easy to access. This simple change has made a big difference—we spend less time passing out materials and more time actively learning. The clocks with gears are especially exciting because they turn the tricky concept of telling time into something hands-on and fun. My students love moving the clock hands and watching how the gears work together.\r\n The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card has allowed me to purchase high-quality lessons that align with our curriculum while still keeping learning playful and engaging. With these new resources, my kindergartners are exploring math in concrete, meaningful ways and growing into confident, joyful mathematicians. Every day I see their excitement as they problem-solve, share strategies, and discover that math is not only doable—it's fun!

We called this special time \" A book a day keeps boredom away!\" If you have never read any of Roger Hargreaves timeless books, please do! I remember as a child my dad (an elementary school principal) would bring these books home and read them to us. I couldn't wait to get a new one and that's the same feeling my students have when they re-enter our room... they can't wait to meet a new character! \r\n\r\nThe nostalgia of these books not only fills me with lovely memories of my childhood, but my students are sharing in the wonder of \"timeless\" stories... and they may share the series with their kids as well.

It has made a significant and lasting impact on opinion writing in my 2nd grade classroom. These resources have transformed how my students approach persuasive writing, helping them build confidence in their voice and structure their thoughts effectively. The TPT gift card has allowed me to purchase additional, supplemental items to support their learning. \r\n\r\nThe three picture books served as anchor texts that not only captured my students' attention but also modeled persuasive writing in a way that felt relatable and fun. I Wanna Iguana and I Wanna New Room are written as letters between a child and his parents, providing clear, age-appropriate examples of argument, reasoning, and respectful counterpoints. Hey, Little Ant added a unique and powerful perspective by presenting two sides of a moral dilemma. It invited students to consider another point of view—an essential skill in opinion writing—and led to rich classroom debates about empathy and choice. \r\n\r\nOnce again thank you so much for supporting my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1741985266240,"projectUrl":"project/whats-your-opinion/9022730/","projectTitle":"What’s Your Opinion?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hosseinzadeh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8356267_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y327&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651293995097","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8356267"},{"teacherId":253389,"projectId":8749284,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of materials that have helped me transform my classroom into a \"Literacy Haven.\" The students were absolutely thrilled when the boxes arrived, and they couldn't wait to see all the wonderful resources that would help us create an environment where reading and writing thrive.\r\n\r\nThe students love grabbing their resource folders and privacy shields to set up their own private writing centers, which has made a big difference in how they focus on their work.
