In the upcoming weeks, I've purchased a jeopardy game to review forces and motion as well as math task cards to review dividing whole numbers. One of the best resources I've come across are themed math reviews to do that vary by month and concepts covered thus far.","fullyFundedDate":1789787676536,"projectUrl":"project/teachers-pay-teachers/10533396/","projectTitle":"Teachers Pay Teachers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stoever","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8678927_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750132347464","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8678927"},{"teacherId":10473972,"projectId":10178918,"letterContent":"The donation of a class set of books made our third-grade novel study more engaging and meaningful. Having a book for every student allowed everyone to fully participate in our shared reading experience. Students were able to follow along, reread important sections, build vocabulary, make predictions, and use text evidence to support their thinking. Our daily discussions gave students opportunities to share their ideas, ask questions, and make connections with the characters and events in the story.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these books helped our students grow as readers and become more confident in sharing their thoughts. Students looked forward to our novel study and were excited to discover what would happen next. The class set created a sense of community around reading while strengthening comprehension, collaboration, and critical-thinking skills. We are so grateful to our donors for giving our students the opportunity to experience the joy of reading together!","fullyFundedDate":1778019661048,"projectUrl":"project/3rd-grade-novel-study/10178918/","projectTitle":"3rd Grade Novel Study","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cullum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10473972_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1790177449907","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10473972"},{"teacherId":9631071,"projectId":10176905,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating Genius Square to our classroom! My students were so excited when they saw the games arrive. As soon as I introduced them, they immediately wanted to race each other to solve the puzzles and couldn't wait to see who could complete each challenge first.\r\n\r\nWe've been using Genius Square during math centers and gifted enrichment to strengthen critical thinking, spatial reasoning, and problem-solving skills. I love watching students try different strategies, persevere through challenging puzzles, and explain their thinking to one another. It's amazing to see how engaged they are while building important math and logic skills.\r\n\r\nMy students will continue using Genius Square as part of our enrichment rotations and collaborative challenges. They'll work together to compare strategies, create friendly competitions, and tackle increasingly difficult puzzles throughout the year.

They are looking forward to our next sculpture project. \r\n\r\nNext steps, are to find proper storage for all the clay so I can make sure to preserve our inventory of clay.

Sometimes the hardest part of teaching elementary art is finding places to store their projects. It is especially hard with ceramics or 3-D of any kind as you cannot stack it and condense it. These shelves have provided a space for 3-D work, and create a sense of organization in a room that would otherwise be chaotic. \r\n\r\nWe used these shelves during our unit on form where students learned the difference between shape and form. They then applied that knowledge to create ceramic art like pinch pots, coil pots and even tic tac toe boards. It is due to the storage provided by donors like you that this unit was possible.","fullyFundedDate":1761412011786,"projectUrl":"project/kiln-room-storage/9789137/","projectTitle":"Kiln Room Storage","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Restrepo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9149476_orig.jpg?crop=2435,2435,x0,y235&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732050765369","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lakeside-art-ceramics"},{"teacherId":9149476,"projectId":9631829,"letterContent":"Many students come to art class with the expectation to create art, however they are sometimes stuck.
