We really appreciate it! I told my students there are people that went to the grocery store for us so we could have snack. They said \"awww\". We have been living off of the cheese balls and rice crackers. Also, thank you for helping me provide a new laminator. My old one died just in time for me to have a new machine. I use that laminator almost every day! I not only make my materials laminated, but I love laminated work completed by my students so they can save.","fullyFundedDate":1766067767329,"projectUrl":"project/snack-and-play-thank-you/9948715/","projectTitle":"Snack and Play!!

We are having the best time learning about adding, subtracting, comparing, and understanding numbers this month with the help of the grids you made possible. The most exciting part is we are only just getting started. My students are going to be able to take this foundational knowledge and understanding of how to visualize numbers in an array pattern with an eye for the relationships these numbers share all the way through their post graduate educational journeys. \r\n\r\nI wish I could have brought each of you in to see the joy in my students' faces as I first introduced the grids to them. First, I shared only the large one you see in the photos on the white board, the teacher demonstration model you all made possible. They were already 100% engaged as we began to talk about the patterns we saw among the numbers arranged in the grid. One student was so excited he jumped up and emphatically said, \"Look! The numbers all keep the same number on the right side as you look at the lines going down, but the left side goes up.\" He was so excited to come explain it to the whole class. He used this discovery to thereafter quickly be able to answer ANY question I could offer in the lines of what is 'said number' minus or plus any value of ten. It was stunning just how quickly he internalized and wanted to share his discovery. \r\n\r\nWe've only just begun, and the beauty of this particular manipulative is we can take it all the way through multiplying and dividing fractions, decimals, and beyond. I am so thankful for your belief in my and especially your belief in my students! This foundation they are building today is going to shore them up to be confident and contributing mathematicians for a lifetime!","fullyFundedDate":1746785780327,"projectUrl":"project/build-a-grid-build-a-mind/9269919/","projectTitle":"Build-a-Grid: Build a Mind!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. J.
