Because the materials are laminated, students can use dry-erase markers to solve problems, practice skills, and try again without the fear of making mistakes. This encourages a growth mindset and allows for repeated practice throughout the week.\r\nIn literacy centers, students are able to work independently on activities such as word building, reading comprehension, and vocabulary development. The laminated format allows multiple students to rotate through the same activity, making our center time more efficient and organized.\r\nIn math centers, laminated activities help students practice key skills like number sense, addition and subtraction, and problem-solving in a hands-on way. Students enjoy manipulating pieces, writing their answers, and checking their thinking, which keeps them actively engaged.","fullyFundedDate":1766530098630,"projectUrl":"project/making-learning-last-materials-student/9960477/","projectTitle":"“Making Learning Last: Materials Students Can Use Again And Again”","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alanis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7891796"},{"teacherId":10221882,"projectId":9647747,"letterContent":"I want to begin this letter by thanking you for your generous donation. We have been using all the materials that were donated to us in our class. They have been a game changer in our educational journey.\r\n The students were so excited to use the white boards and dry erase markers during our math concept development lessons. The white boards have allowed them to work out problems on them. This helps them enhance their learning through active participation. \r\n My students were so excited when they saw all the materials. I spoke to them about DonorsChoose and how generous people like you contribute to their learning. \r\n The next steps for my students during the current classroom lessons would be to continue using the all the materials that you donated to my classroom. For example, the white boards will be used on a daily basis during our math concept lessons. The magnetic numbers bonds are being used during centers to practice number bonds. The goggles have been keep their eyes safe during our science experiments. \r\n In conclusion, we are super grateful for your generous donation.

Your thoughtful donation has given us a tool that combines both—making a lasting impact on how my students engage, learn, and grow.
