They are advancing so much in their multiplication facts. \r\n\r\nOur magnetic clips are of huge help when it comes to holding something on the board such as anchor charts, notes, and other documents/sheets. The construction paper storage is helping my art area stay organized and I no longer have to go through many different colors of construction paper, I have a space for each color. I am currently using the file holder off the wall to put important papers to hand out to students. \r\n\r\nStudents were very surprised when we opened all the boxes that arrived. They knew right away their learning would be so much more fun, especially with the bright colored paper. \r\n\r\nWe will continue to use these materials for the rest of the year and of course reuse everything I can for new years ahead.","fullyFundedDate":1738936590645,"projectUrl":"project/making-learning-fun-and-organized/9050867/","projectTitle":"Making Learning Fun and Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9074989_orig.png?crop=1016,1016,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690431030229","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9074989"},{"teacherId":9518611,"projectId":8817138,"letterContent":"I am sending a heartfelt thank you for generously donating headphones to my class. My students have had them for a while now, and they have made a tremendous difference in their learning. \r\n\r\nThe headphones have been a game-changer for my classroom. They have allowed my students to focus better during lessons, especially during independent tasks or listening to educational videos. The quieter work environment has also helped students feel more comfortable and confident during lessons or independent work. \r\n\r\nI am incredibly grateful for your support.
