With our new literacy curriculum requiring the use of many books, these bins have truly been a lifesaver. All materials are neatly stored and clearly labeled, allowing me to quickly locate exactly what I need without losing valuable instructional time.\r\n\r\nThe shelf has also been incredibly helpful in keeping frequently used materials within easy reach during group instruction. Student supplies such as extra pencils and tidy tubs—used for quick and efficient cleanup after cutting activities—are stored on the shelf as well. Because materials are consistently kept in the same place, students know exactly where to find what they need and can access supplies independently.\r\n\r\nI am continuing to build student independence by making books even more accessible. By labeling both the book bins and the books with matching numbers, students are learning to find, use, and return materials with confidence. These resources have helped create a more organized, efficient, and student-friendly learning environment, and I am so grateful for the support that made this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1750610214183,"projectUrl":"project/bins-books-bright-futures/9411823/","projectTitle":"Bins, Books & Bright Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Veinote","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7645890_orig.jpg?crop=507,507,x147,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1717343705229","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7645890"},{"teacherId":833690,"projectId":6437092,"letterContent":"We really appreciate you funding the purchase of the Scholastic boxed materials that support teaching phonics.
