Collaboration has increased immensely in math through the use of vertical whiteboards; students solve addition and subtraction problems together for example. They talk through the problems and discuss changes that may need to be made or figure out how to solve an equation. Vertical whiteboards have also been amazing for writing practice; students work together to create sentences as they are learning the basic concepts of sentence structure. \r\nMarkers, paper, and stickers have been used for projects in reading and writing. My students have enjoyed working together and becoming better learners through collaboration! \r\nThank you for giving my students the needed materials for this to happen. It is with much gratitude and appreciation that this message is being sent! Thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness; my class has been thrilled with the materials from this project. Almost on a daily basis, I will have a student ask if we are going to use vertical whiteboards; they love using them!

As active learners, they thrive when they have access to equipment that encourages physical movement, cooperative play, and positive social interaction. These experiences are essential for building communication skills, resilience, and a strong sense of belonging.\r\n\r\nA variety of classroom toys and activities also play a vital role in students' emotional and academic development. Some resources spark excitement and creativity, while others provide calming opportunities that help students regulate emotions, reset their focus, and reengage with learning. Meeting both needs supports the whole child and creates a balanced learning environment.\r\n\r\nWith the support of this grant, I will provide equitable access to high-quality materials that enrich instruction, promote well-being, and foster a positive, inclusive classroom where every child has the opportunity to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.","fullyFundedDate":1755689049280,"projectUrl":"project/having-fun-in-first-grade/9599392/","projectTitle":"Having Fun in First Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Doolan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7135861_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x772,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1582924079757","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7135861"},{"teacherId":7135861,"projectId":9297847,"letterContent":"Thank you for making this project possible and for investing in my students' learning experience.
