For instance, the Sequence & Write Story Tiles have been helpful in a small group with English Language Learners. One of the objectives that 1st and 2nd graders have to accomplish is to look at pictures and write a sequential story. So this has been one more way for them to practice. The Language Skills games has also come in clutch for reinforcing remedial skills for my lower level learners.\r\n\r\nAs always, I love adding new books to my classroom library collection. The non-fiction animal books have been really popular too!","fullyFundedDate":1755876750453,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-literacy-in-a-12-blend/9581768/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Literacy in a 1/2 Blend","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peters","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7767991_orig.png?crop=396,396,x0,y1&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1614725067235","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7767991"},{"teacherId":7767991,"projectId":9304567,"letterContent":"Thanks to generous donors, this project got funded just after the school year ended.

However, given past years, students are always so stoked about new books, materials and resources!\r\n\r\nI think students (and myself) will be really excited to try out the new dry erase clipboards. I love the fact that this resource serves two purposes: clipboard for flexible seating and a dry erase board to show their work.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous help!","fullyFundedDate":1747062938601,"projectUrl":"project/student-learning-success-with-steam/9304567/","projectTitle":"Student Learning Success with STEAM","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peters","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7767991_orig.png?crop=396,396,x0,y1&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1614725067235","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7767991"},{"teacherId":7767991,"projectId":9222397,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for adding to my literacy collection! Earlier this year, our class was reading some books written by Andrea Beaty to help supplement word meanings/phrases. These texts were so great for whole group reading and the students LOVED them so much, I wanted to get the whole collection from this author!\r\n\r\nReading in my 2nd grade classroom starts off with reading rotations where students either read to self, meet with the teacher, catch up on writing or go to a literacy app on their chromebook. Then we transition to whole group reading and we focus on a reading standard.\r\n\r\nMy students are also pretty stoked about the new Cat Problems and Giraffe Problems books.

Not only that, it helps the students stay awake and keeps them focused so they're not all over the place. I have even noticed that my students who are short tempered have less issues when using them!
