This project has not only expanded the different genres but has also allowed for more students to access this reading group structure. This project has also allowed for students to look at and understand different cultures through the point of view of different fiction characters.

By utilizing the child-sized headphones, our young learners can dive into interactive, bilingual math games. This technology allows them to hear clear audio modeling in both English and Spanish, helping them master abstract economic concepts like earning and spending.\r\n\r\nThe most thrilling element for the students is our new classroom mini-economy. Students practice financial choices by deciding whether to \"spend\" or \"save\" the money they earn to purchase sensory toys, fidgets, and prizes. These sensory tools provide vital emotional-regulation support during long academic blocks.\r\n\r\nThis setup has completely transformed our most anxious students. Learners who previously shut down during transitions now confidently navigate routines to build their savings.

This project has allowed students to look at different genres. This project has also allowed more reading groups to participate within the small group book clubs. When they realized that they were getting to read their own book for the reading rotation they were extremely excited and it allowed for new and different conversations. Some of the students had already been excited about reading, but it has allowed for more of the students to see that reading can be fun and that they can find a genre that they can connect with. In the last few years finding a good collection of books has been hard to come by, but your support within this project has created a new fondness for reading for my students and has sparked my love of teaching reading again.","fullyFundedDate":1769177299259,"projectUrl":"project/genre-reading-historical-and-science-fic/9957299/","projectTitle":"Genre Reading Historical and Science Fiction","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10319700_orig.jpg?crop=2026,2026,x158,y25&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760738980988","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10319700"},{"teacherId":10429023,"projectId":10084223,"letterContent":"I would like to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the incredible support you have shown to my classroom and to my students.

We use the table white-erase dots daily for practicing skills in an engaging, hands-on way. The pencil sharpener and Velcro have allowed me to create customized teaching materials that meet my students' individual needs. When students first saw the new supplies, they were excited and eager to use them right away.\r\n\r\nThe prizes purchased through this project have been a powerful motivator. Students work hard toward their goals and feel proud when they earn a reward, which has increased engagement and positive behavior in the classroom.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue using these tools to support self-regulation, build independence, and reinforce academic skills during daily lessons and small-group instruction.
