I read the book, If You Find a Rock to stimulate student interest in rocks, then they went out and looked for their perfect rock on the playground. Some brought rocks from home to share in class. We made list in their journals about what made their rocks perfect.\r\n\r\nEach student had 2-3 river rocks to paint and write a kindness word on them. The acrylic paint and Modge Podge made the kindness word and decoration permanent. Students have 1 rock to keep or give to a friend & another to share kindness by leaving it outside around the school community for someone else to find.\r\n\r\nI appreciate all that you do to support teachers thru Donors Choose!","fullyFundedDate":1758838033936,"projectUrl":"project/rocking-on-for-kindness/9727473/","projectTitle":"Rocking on for Kindness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carlson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ccarlson"},{"teacherId":1647016,"projectId":9455809,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your donations.

The alphabet stamps and erasable pens are part of our writing routine as well. \r\n\r\nI read One Word for Kids earlier in the school year and my students each chose a word to define/describe their 2nd grade year.

When our new rugs arrived, my third graders' faces completely lit up. They couldn't believe that these cozy, colorful spaces were just for them. The large rug has become the heart of our classroom, where we gather for morning meetings, read-alouds, and math talks. The smaller rug has turned into a calm corner where students can read, reflect, or take a quiet break when they need it.\r\n\r\nAlmost right away, I noticed a change in the energy of our room. Students naturally gravitate toward the rugs to collaborate, share ideas, and listen during lessons. During our current unit on narrative writing, they love to spread out on the big rug with their notebooks, sharing stories with partners or sketching storyboards. The space feels open, inviting, and full of life, exactly the kind of environment that helps young learners feel safe and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nNext, we're working on building stronger reading stamina and writing fluency. The rugs have become our \"thinking spots,\" where students feel comfortable taking creative risks and supporting one another. They're already looking forward to using the rugs to watch a movie together during our Halloween class party. I'm so grateful for how this project has helped transform not just the look of our classroom, but the way we learn and connect each day.\r\n\r\nA big, heartfelt thank you to all of you from me and my third graders.

They couldn't wait to choose their new colorful water bottles and decorate them with stickers that matched their personalities. It was such a fun and meaningful way to build ownership and pride in our classroom community. The snack boxes have been a huge hit, too—having healthy treats available helps keep everyone energized and focused.\r\nThe new magnetic draw and write chart has quickly become one of our favorite teaching tools. We use it daily to model complete sentences, vocabulary, and grammar in an interactive way. My students love taking turns writing on the chart, which helps them practice spelling and sentence structure while building confidence with their English skills. The name plates, timer, and clean-up materials have made our daily routines smoother, and the wipes and air fresheners help keep our classroom fresh and inviting.\r\nThanks to your support, my students not only have the tools they need to learn, they feel prepared, cared for, and motivated to do their best. Every item you helped fund contributes to a classroom environment where students can focus on learning, language, and kindness.

As a teacher with English language learners, I am always looking for ways to encourage conversations that stretch school vocabulary and English language practice. This STEM activity worked like a charm! \r\n Our solar system STEM activities were just the start of our look at the galaxy and beyond. For a special treat the kids were partnered up and got to dig for gems in the gemstone digging kits. The kids were incredibly focused, and the conversations they were having sounded like two scientists working together.
