To start off the school year with essential school supplies- pencils, erasers, markers, etc.- is a big deal. They came into a classroom that was ready for them and ready to support their learning. With their new clipboards, students have been able to store them in their desks and move around the classroom when they please. I believe that allowing a student to learn from where they wish to in a classroom gives them a lot of autonomy in their education. Asking a child to grab their clipboard and come to the carpet for learning can also create a better sense of community- which it has! \r\n\r\nOur prize bin has also become a big hit this year. With the silly squishies, students want to be successful and earn a prize. They want to do their homework, they want to make good choices and earn a sticker for their behavior chart. \r\n\r\nThank you for making a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1787537847488,"projectUrl":"project/starting-off-on-the-right-foot/10528468/","projectTitle":"Starting Off on the Right Foot!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coakley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9753790"},{"teacherId":1050024,"projectId":10254329,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donations over the last year, including this one, we were able to provide all students that wanted to play an instrument this year with a brand new instrument - free of charge! \r\nMany of our students cannot afford to rent, much less buy, an instrument for an entire school year.
