These items have helped our classroom feel more comfortable, colorful and safe as we are a Title I school. \r\n\r\nThe classroom rug has brought us together for deep and fun conversions, that include learning about each other and working through our Wisconsin State Standards. The students also use the rug for flexible seating during our Math and ELA centers. They love the ability to move around the classroom instead of always sitting at their desks. \r\n\r\nThe Play-Doh has created a fun station for our brain breaks! We also have used the Play-Doh to form number sentences. The students are so creative! \r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your support as I enter my first year of teaching!","fullyFundedDate":1752607996023,"projectUrl":"project/ms-peltzs-third-grade-classroom/9388833/","projectTitle":"Ms. Peltz’s Third Grade Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Peltz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047577"},{"teacherId":10001608,"projectId":9261292,"letterContent":"The students are using their new resources in so many ways.

The students have also been able to use their snacks when they are hungry which helps them be able to focus. \r\nThe students were very excited to get the new resources. They were happy that they got to hold the materials and be able to actually use their snacks resources while they are learning. \r\nThe next steps for my students are to help them learn how to use all of the resources in order to succeed in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1748367090280,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-being-hands-on/9261292/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Being Hands On","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10001608"},{"teacherId":8426830,"projectId":9015911,"letterContent":"Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We've worked on conversation and communication skills.
