Our classroom has been transformed into a more engaging, hands-on learning environment where students can truly make sense of new skills. We are using manipulatives during math instruction when needed and use it daily during small group. One powerful moment was watching students work with partners to model problems, discuss their thinking, support one another, and then confidently transferring those strategies to independent work. \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. They were eager to explore, touch, and use the tools. These resources have boosted confidence, collaboration, and independence, especially for students who benefit from visual learning. Students will continue using the manipulatives as we move into more complex problem-solving, gradually transitioning from concrete models to abstract thinking, ensuring a deeper and lasting understanding of the skills they are learning.","fullyFundedDate":1760655343620,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-tools/9826928/","projectTitle":"Classroom Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ortiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10311400"},{"teacherId":10312032,"projectId":9828727,"letterContent":"ELA activities help students build essential reading, writing, and communication skills needed for success in all subject areas.

Because of you, my fifth graders are now using engaging novels, vocabulary journals, and daily grammar fix-it journals as part of our reading and language arts block. We recently began a novel study where students read together, stop to discuss character choices, and record new vocabulary in their journals. One of my favorite moments was watching students eagerly flip back through their books to find evidence to support their thinking—something they are growing more confident doing each day.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and genuine. They loved having brand-new books and journals that were truly their own. Several students asked if they could start reading right away, and others carefully wrote their names on the covers, proud to take ownership of their learning. The grammar fix-it journals quickly became a favorite warm-up activity, with students excited to \"catch the mistakes\" and explain their thinking aloud.\r\n\r\nYour donation gave you a small peek into our classroom, and we are so grateful for that connection. Our next steps include diving deeper into our novel study with small-group discussions, written responses, and vocabulary challenges using the new journals. Students will also continue practicing daily grammar skills to strengthen their writing across all subjects. Thank you for believing in my students and helping them grow as readers, writers, and thinkers. Your kindness is making a lasting impact every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1760893036979,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-for-life/9839491/","projectTitle":"Literacy for Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vansant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10316414_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760658071409","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10316414"},{"teacherId":10313629,"projectId":9832607,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all of our new, engaging books!
