The dry erase markers and individual whiteboards allow every student to participate in quick-response activities, making lessons more interactive and helping me assess understanding in real time. The crayons provide opportunities for students to express their creativity, which supports fine motor development and encourages them to take pride in their work. The pencils are used daily for a variety of tasks, including our morning writing routine, where students enter the classroom, retrieve their writing folders and pencils, and immediately begin practicing their writing skills. Altogether, these materials have created a more hands-on, creative, and structured learning environment that supports student growth across multiple subjects.","fullyFundedDate":1755717232995,"projectUrl":"project/were-write-on-time/9346463/","projectTitle":"We're \"Write\" On Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lynch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9873091_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742775950957","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9873091"},{"teacherId":5941321,"projectId":9541753,"letterContent":"Thank you for funding our classroom project. Our students were excited, knowing that they could organize their binders for learning. We were able to maximize student learning because our binders were organized with a tab divider to separate Reading and Math. They knew exactly where to go when they needed to locate their anchor charts, supplemental aids, and the materials for the current lesson. Furthermore, we used the learning games to enhance their math and reading skills. \r\nWe used Velcro in creating daily visual schedules. This helped our students know which content was coming next in their learning (e.g., math, reading, science, etc.). Additionally, the student could move their visual card to the other side, indicating that they have completed the assignment/task. Our next steps are to continue using the binders and visuals until the end of the school year. We want to create growth in their academic success.","fullyFundedDate":1758229490320,"projectUrl":"project/help-we-need-to-be-organized/9541753/","projectTitle":"Help!

I organized the resources into small-group stations, allowing students to rotate between phonics games, number sense activities, and storytelling prompts. This structure made it possible to provide differentiated instruction, meeting students at their individual learning levels while still engaging in the entire class in hands-on, meaningful activities. \r\n In literacy, the phonics materials helped reinforce letter recognition, sound blending, and sight word fluency. Students who previously struggled with decoding were more confident participating in reading activities. In math, the number sense materials allowed students to grasp concepts like counting, and simple operations in a fun way. T\r\n One of the most rewarding parts of the project was seeing how engaged and excited the students were. Learning became something they looked forward to each day. Students who were previously hesitant began volunteering to participate in whole group activities.","fullyFundedDate":1742923167239,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-kindergarten-minds-with-essenti/9204047/","projectTitle":"Engaging Kindergarten Minds with Essential Learning Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lynch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9873091_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742775950957","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9873091"},{"teacherId":9083415,"projectId":8543224,"letterContent":"Your generous donations made a group of well deserved students very happy.

Your kindness and support have made a truly meaningful impact, and I am deeply grateful for your contribution. As a teacher, one of my greatest goals is to foster a love of reading in my students and to create an environment where learning feels exciting, inclusive, and inspiring. Your donation helps bring that vision to life.\r\n\r\nBooks are more than just classroom materials—they are windows to the world, tools for exploration, and gateways to imagination. For many of my students, school is the primary place where they have consistent access to books. Your donation has significantly enriched our classroom library, offering students a wider variety of genres, topics, and reading levels to choose from. Whether it's a child who is discovering the magic of stories for the first time, or another who is diving deeper into nonfiction to explore their interests, your books are sparking curiosity and encouraging meaningful learning every day.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, reading helps students build empathy, resilience, and confidence. When students see themselves reflected in the stories they read—or when they are introduced to perspectives different from their own—it helps them grow both intellectually and emotionally.
