Since the art program was cut in our school, children access to the arts in school is limited only to what teachers choose to provide in the classroom. Of course teachers choosing to do this are responsible for providing the materials for such projects on their own. It means so much to me that you've provided us with the supplies needed to create meaningful art projects to support core curriculum! We've already make self portraits as we explored diversity and built community, painted our names as we learned to write them, and made texture collages to support our core knowledge language arts and embedded science curriculum as we learned about our 5 senses.

I used them as decorations for our Meet the Teacher event prior to school starting on all the shelves and counters in my room like pieces of artwork! They now adorn my library shelves and are getting so much use during center choice time. We started the school year with lessons on how to treat books as some of my students have never been introduced to books before. We explore how to hold the book, turn the pages and track the words and explore the pictures. I've also been able to read one every day to my students after lunch.

I am so appreciative of your generosity. When my students first came into my classroom after I had set everything up, they were so excited and had so many questions. They were especially excited to have a turn on one of the flexible seating options I had received. My students use these every day during our lessons. It is helpful for me to have these seating options as it helps to minimize the distractions and can be used to motivate a student having difficulty staying on the carpet, to stay seated.\r\nI have been using all of the organizational items I received, like the number chart, pocket chart, clear bins, and book bins to help keep my classroom organized and run more smoothly. My library is organized with my book bins so my students can easily look for books to read. I love my clear storage bins, where my manipulatives and other supplies that are needed on a daily basis are quickly and easily visible to me and my students to get them out quickly. So amazing! \r\nMy students have loved getting to use the dot art painters! We used them to make butterflies to hang in our room. I loved seeing their creativity come to life. My students had so much fun with these. Thank you so much! You have made such a difference for me personally and for my students as well.","fullyFundedDate":1739376105337,"projectUrl":"project/help-build-a-classroom-for-a-new-teacher/8992891/","projectTitle":"Help Build a Classroom for a New Teacher","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Finn-Wirth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9866173"},{"teacherId":9630281,"projectId":9110442,"letterContent":"I can not effectively express to you what these books mean to me and my students.
