The sentence strips and chart paper are used on a daunting basis to teach grammar and writing skills, as well as simply writing on lines! It's so helpful to be able to hang up the posters and have plenty of room to add examples and sentences as our units progress.\r\n\r\nMy students are big fans of the play-doh! They ask nearly everyday if they can use it. It has benefited all of my students. The kindergartners are using it to learn their letters, while my fourth-graders used it to recreate sculptures they read about. I love seeing their creations and how proud they are.","fullyFundedDate":1785949234703,"projectUrl":"project/starting-with-success/10430413/","projectTitle":"Starting With Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cornejo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3934010_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1639315640929","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/acornejo"},{"teacherId":4620405,"projectId":10405816,"letterContent":"Thank you so much to all of the donors for helping me get this school year started with some much-needed supplies for my students!\r\n\r\nThe pencil cases are perfect because each student now has their own to keep their supplies organized.

They are very sturdy, and I am sure they will last for several years!\r\n\r\nThe students have also enjoyed receiving a special birthday bracelet and card on their birthdays. The Tic-Tac-Toe games have provided them with a fun activity to enjoy before and after school.\r\n\r\nI am so grateful for the generosity and support of everyone who contributed to making this possible.

The kids loved how soft and colorful it was and were excited to come back to school the next morning to officially use it for the first time. \r\n\r\nWe gather together on it every morning for community circle as well as large group lessons, partner work and free reading. It's large enough that we can have several teams of students working on it at the same time.
