The Yoto player has been good at helping students check the weather daily, enjoy an educational podcast, or even act as a timer between activities. We have also enjoyed the stories you donated with the Yoto, as well as the drawing card. \r\n\r\nThank you for also donating the Tonies Player. This has been helpful with the Numberbots character so we can practice numbers. We have also enjoyed the National Geographic characters and the adventures they take us on.","fullyFundedDate":1746786013759,"projectUrl":"project/books-take-you-on-grand-adventures/9328269/","projectTitle":"Books Take You on Grand Adventures!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. L","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9587231_orig.jpg?crop=827,827,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720552953472","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9587231"},{"teacherId":9587231,"projectId":9246548,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating the books and stuffies to my classroom.

We have added this friend and the duckling to our class stuffies.","fullyFundedDate":1746785915432,"projectUrl":"project/with-great-knowledge-comes-great-respons/9246548/","projectTitle":"With Great Knowledge Comes Great Responsibility!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. L","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9587231_orig.jpg?crop=827,827,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720552953472","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9587231"},{"teacherId":9696777,"projectId":8688190,"letterContent":"The microscope 🔬 has been a fun addition to our class. It came in handy during our reproduction lab. We were able to assess frozen bulk semen samples after learning how to thaw them. The kids learned about motility, concentration, morphology, and viability! Without this piece of equipment, it's hard for the kids picture what those things look like. \r\n\r\nI plan to continue on with the Ag program this year and expand into having an FFA chapter. The up and coming freshman class seems very enthusiastic! We have been blessed to have wonderful community support from great people like you! \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and commitment to the Highwood school district and the ag program!!","fullyFundedDate":1725455589534,"projectUrl":"project/seeing-agriculture-on-a-cellular-level/8688190/","projectTitle":"Seeing Agriculture on a Cellular Level","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Trish","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9696777"},{"teacherId":9587231,"projectId":9052102,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation.

The class was able to build car tracks, houses, castles, and other magnificent creations with their new MAGNA-Tiles.\r\n\r\nMy students were very excited to have new resources to practice their spelling words and other vocabulary.

My first graders are incredibly grateful for the materials donated to our classroom to help enrich out math and reading. \r\n\r\nStudents have really enjoyed using the Lakeshore Easy-zip pouches to store their math materials, leaving their desks free of clutter and allowing their materials to be easily accessible. Students have also benefited greatly from the dry erase number line whiteboards and the place value answer board sets. \r\nOur class has really been looking forward to math time now that they have new resources and storage. \r\n\r\nReading time was becoming challenging, as some of my very low readers have been breezing through their level books, but running into the problem of not having more at their level to read. Thankfully, the variety of book sets donated to our classroom have helped students find more books to get lost in daily. They have also enjoyed having a reading buddy in the classroom like Pete the Cat to read to.","fullyFundedDate":1728098236188,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-math-and-reading/8813376/","projectTitle":"Hands on Math and Reading.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. L","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9587231_orig.jpg?crop=827,827,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720552953472","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9587231"},{"teacherId":9711150,"projectId":8710392,"letterContent":"I offer a heartfelt thank you on behalf of the students you impacted.

Books and activities that spark the student's interest are essential during the emerging reader stage, and your donation checked that box.\r\n\r\nOur students enjoyed looking through the pictures and identifying specific letters throughout the book. The book series you helped purchase, Pig the Pug, is a rhyming book series. Rhyming books are fun to listen to, and a great way to help emergent readers identify letter sounds. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping our classroom be an effective, fun environment for students to learn and grow.
