I have already been using it, and it is very useful. It is at the front of my room and I use it to project onto for my lessons. I also use it to write, draw, and show the kids how to do their assignments. We use it for class games such as snake, number squeeze, and make ten. \r\n\r\nThe students are really enjoying being able to see what I show on our document camera. It really helps them to follow along when we read together as well. My students are defiantely more engaged when I use the whiteboard because they can see what I am teaching not just hear it.

In our room I have a simple plastic scale that is great for use but not durable for everyday play at this age. While we have not received the new balance scale yet, I an extremely excited for them to have more resources available each day for experiments. The chicken growth cycle, animal set, and farm/ranch sets will be great additions to their science center when we begin learning about different animals. Last year we were lucky enough to have an incubator in the class and hatch chicks - the students went wild! Everyday they would run in the check the progress and mark off another day on our hatching calendar. This year we will be able to have a visual growth cycle so they understand the process of chicken production!\r\nThank you for the additions that our students are learning from every day!","fullyFundedDate":1778123595341,"projectUrl":"project/building-curiosity-one-day-at-a-time/10266795/","projectTitle":"Building Curiosity One Day at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gilstrap","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6584515"},{"teacherId":6584515,"projectId":10193064,"letterContent":"Our students are expected to return to the classroom next week and I am extremely excited to see their faces when they see the flower beds together and waiting for them to plant!

We planted small flower pots that they watched everyday for growth and loudly shouted when the sprouts first started to pop up.
