The games, such as Mancala, Connect Four, and Checkers, have all benefited the whole classroom. That is because the students are more engaged in their classwork and learning in order to play with their friends and partners. These are all strategy games and it can help with math concepts and topics, as well as social skills and connection. The students have enjoyed the friendly competition and begin rounds that switches so everyone has a chance. \r\n\r\nThe pencil sharpener has made writing so fun because it sharpens our pencils in lightning speed. That helps students get back to work and focused to all the critical thinking that comes with writing narratives, etc. They like to see that their writing is as sharp as their minds on a great day. It has not been a distraction like the older pencil sharpeners that did not even sharpen after a minute. So again, we all thank you for these resources that were provided and funded for.","fullyFundedDate":1758127087499,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-ideas-to-life-one-pencil-at-a-t/9653871/","projectTitle":"Bringing Ideas to Life One Pencil at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Preciado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2820030_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1505084467570","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2820030"},{"teacherId":6825928,"projectId":9412167,"letterContent":"On behalf of our students and school community, we want to sincerely thank you for providing the benches for our classroom.

The new, soft reading chairs for rug time have made the classroom more colorful and the students were overly excited when they arrived. While unboxing and as they were seeing all the different neon colors, they couldn't wait to sit on them. This has helped their engagement especially during reading time. They also know to take turns with their classroom family and take care of the chairs to show their good manners.\r\n\r\nFor now, they have been using it for our reading circle. But, we cannot wait to start using it as our thinking time for science, engineering, and math. The students will be able to think-pair-share with their partners away from their desks. And quietly read their library books on their own. I will have them use the chairs more and more because their focus has been wonderful since receiving the new resources.

Since we received the materials, our independent literacy centers look a little different. Small groups of students are now actively engaged in reading letters and sight words, practicing letter formation, and writing sight words. All without protest! With the variety of stamps, as well as the colorful ink pads, even my reluctant learners are having fun working on activities they would otherwise avoid.\r\n\r\nI love that some of the letter stamps connect and even have spacers so students can stamp multiple words at once. Other stamps are larger so small hands can pick them up comfortably. Students can choose which type of stamp to use, giving them more voice in how they will complete their work.\r\n\r\nIt has been very rewarding to watch my students grow as independent learners. I look forward to creating additional centers with equal success.
