I had many ask for them today and many more saying they are almost out of pages in their first math notebook. Your notebooks are coming just in time to save the day:) These Cornell notebooks help keep their math notes neat and organized. These notebooks have graphing sections and non graphing sections so they are always ready to go without changing out their paper. These are specific types of notebooks that help encourage their note taking and organizing in a way that will help them go back and use them in the future. We don't just take notes to keep in a book, but to use all year. They will take these notebooks to their math classes next year as well as a reference. This wouldn't happen without wonderful people like you! You are an absolute classroom angel and my middle schoolers really appreciate your kindness and love for our class and school.

Because of your kindness, my students now have access to new book sets that are being used for independent reading.

This has already increased engagement and excitement around reading, and students are more motivated to explore books that feel meaningful and relevant to them.\r\n\r\nThe additional classroom resources have made a huge difference in how my students learn and focus. The standing desk has been especially helpful for students who need movement or the option to stand in order to stay engaged, while the fidgets have supported focus and self-regulation for all learners. Chart paper has allowed me to incorporate more station-based activities into my lessons, creating a more interactive and student-centered learning environment.\r\n\r\nFinally, the wireless keyboard and mouse have given me the flexibility to teach from anywhere in the room while using the smart board, allowing me to better monitor students, provide support, and stay connected during instruction. Your generosity has had a direct and meaningful impact on our classroom, and I am truly grateful for your support of my students and their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1762789670790,"projectUrl":"project/essential-supplies-to-help-my-readers-le/9832839/","projectTitle":"Essential Supplies to Help My Readers Learn and Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cairo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10313587"},{"teacherId":10325719,"projectId":9867144,"letterContent":"The Orchestra members at PS are having so much fun playing harmonic instruments and learning about music from different perspective.

The Valentine items we will use for our service project around our school. My kids get so much out of giving back to others. I am collecting items so more students in our school can benefit from what my kids do throughout the year.
