It is so wonderful knowing there are people like you who support teachers and help students. My project contained many hands on tools and manipulatives that will help my students learn and grow. The highlighters and markers are used daily as we learn a new letter and number a day. We highlight the letters before using pencils. We also use highlighters to solve puzzles and find numbers. These tools are used daily.\r\nThe pop it games are used in math and ELA centers children are identifying the numbers or letters as I orally give them clues. Using these \"games\" help keep students engaged and excited about learning their letters.\r\nThe TPT card has given me the ability to keep my lessons relevant and interesting for my students. \r\nIt takes a village to create a classroom community. I reinforce everyday that kindness is something we should work on all the time.

Thanks to your kindness, our 3rd graders now have hands-on fraction cubes that are making a big difference in how they understand this tricky concept. As soon as the materials arrived, the students were buzzing with excitement—they couldn't wait to explore the bright, colorful cubes. One memorable moment was during a lesson comparing fractions; a student who had been struggling suddenly lit up and said, \"Ohhh, now I get it!\" Watching that lightbulb go off was truly priceless.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the cubes to build, compare, and decompose fractions, and the students are much more confident as a result. They loved creating their own fraction sets and challenging their classmates with fraction puzzles. These manipulatives were also incredibly helpful as we prepared for our recent state testing, allowing students to visualize and truly understand fractions instead of relying solely on memorization. I could tell they were more confident about fractions.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this project even more meaningful is that these fraction cubes will continue to benefit future classes for years to come. Each new group of 3rd graders will have access to these same resources, allowing them to build a strong foundation in fractions in an engaging, hands-on way. Your generosity has created a lasting impact—not just for the students sitting in our classroom today, but for many more learners in the years ahead.","fullyFundedDate":1738516616566,"projectUrl":"project/3rd-graders-thrive-with-math-fraction-fu/8898076/","projectTitle":"3rd Graders Thrive with Math Fraction Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Burns","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6200132_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y217&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634734685960","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6200132"},{"teacherId":3016588,"projectId":9202178,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to our amazing music classroom!
