The sound wall and alphabet wall have already become favorite features in our classroom. Students use them daily to connect letters, sounds, and words, building confidence as readers and writers. The new number line has also made a big difference, helping students visualize numbers and strengthen their understanding of addition and subtraction.\r\n\r\nWe also used part of the TPT gift card to purchase decorating supplies that have brought creativity and warmth to our space.

They've become much more than decorations—they're part of our classroom family. Students take turns caring for them, giving them hugs, reading nearby, and sometimes doing their work beside them when they need a little extra comfort. Having Birdie and Nash in our classroom has given students a wonderful way to show kindness, responsibility, and care for something beyond themselves.\r\n\r\nWhen we first introduced Birdie and Nash, we shared how their names were inspired by Taylor Swift, who got her start in Nashville at the Bluebird Café. The students were so inspired that they began drawing new costume ideas for the geese. Watching them collaborate, share materials, and compliment each other's designs was heartwarming. The project naturally led to conversations about empathy—how caring for Birdie and Nash is a lot like caring for each other.\r\n\r\nThe moment we opened the boxes, the room filled with excitement and laughter. Students couldn't stop smiling and immediately wanted to hug the geese and dress them up. Since that day, Birdie and Nash have brought a comforting and joyful presence to our classroom—something my students return to whenever they need a little extra reassurance or connection.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll continue our \"Seasons with Birdie and Nash\" project. As each season changes, students will design new outfits for the geese and reflect on how we can care for others throughout the year—whether that means helping a friend, sharing supplies, or offering a kind word. Birdie and Nash have given my first-graders a gentle, meaningful way to practice empathy and compassion every single day.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for funding this special project!","fullyFundedDate":1755911903050,"projectUrl":"project/silly-goose-part-2/9459706/","projectTitle":"Silly Goose: Part 2","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2651545_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1656120218769","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/moore-classroom"},{"teacherId":2651545,"projectId":9470314,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in helping us welcome two very special additions to our classroom—our porch geese, Nash and Birdie!\r\n\r\nNamed in honor of Taylor Swift's roots (Nashville and the Bluebird Café), these cheerful geese have already become beloved classroom mascots. My students were absolutely thrilled to meet them and are excited to see what they'll be \"wearing\" or \"celebrating\" next. Nash and Birdie may be porch geese, but in our classroom, they are full-time cheerleaders—bringing support, joy, and lots of smiles every single day.\r\n\r\nWhile they may be a little unconventional, these geese have already made a meaningful impact.
