These resources have been such a wonderful addition to our classroom and have helped make our learning activities more engaging and meaningful. In kindergarten, hands-on learning is so important because students are still developing many of the skills they will use throughout their education. Having access to these materials allows me to provide different learning opportunities that meet the needs of all my students.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things has been watching my students get excited about learning and seeing how proud they are when they accomplish something new. We have been able to incorporate these resources into our daily classroom routines, small group activities, and independent learning time. I love watching my students work together, help one another, and build confidence as they practice new skills.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, it means so much to have materials that help make learning fun and exciting for my students. Your generosity has helped create more opportunities for my students to learn, explore, and grow each day.

By displaying the books with their covers facing out, students are discovering books that had been sitting on our shelves, often unnoticed, for years. I even had a student ask if we had gotten new Pokémon books because they had never noticed them before!\r\n\r\nOne of my fifth grade classes has become obsessed with the Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales graphic novel series, which had rarely, if ever, been checked out before. Now, students are learning about history while enjoying reading at the same time!\r\n\r\nThis project has not only helped increase graphic novel checkouts, but that interest has started to spill over into our regular fiction collection as well. Students are exploring more books, trying new genres, and finding books they might not have noticed otherwise.\r\n\r\nBecause of the success of this project, I plan to incorporate more forward-facing shelving throughout our fiction section. I'm excited to see if giving more books a chance to catch students' attention will have the same impact on reading and circulation across our entire library.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us make our library more inviting and helping our students discover books they might have otherwise overlooked!","fullyFundedDate":1786972623114,"projectUrl":"project/bring-on-the-bins-spotlighting-graphic/10266151/","projectTitle":"Bring on the Bins: Spotlighting Graphic Novels for Young Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gordon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1859249_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y172&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1681400812560","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1859249"},{"teacherId":10348938,"projectId":10513393,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for the incredible gift you gave my students.

My kindergarten students use the chair pockets every single day to help keep our classroom organized and running smoothly. Before receiving them, supplies were often falling on the floor or getting mixed up, which took away valuable learning time. Now, each student has their own special place for folders, books, dry erase boards, and independent work materials. One specific moment that stood out was during our literacy centers. Students were able to quickly grab their reading tools and transition independently without needing extra teacher help. It has helped build responsibility and confidence in even my youngest learners.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the chair pockets, they were beyond excited. Many of them immediately wanted to organize their supplies and proudly showed their classmates \"their spot.\" They loved having something that felt personal and special just for them. I could tell right away that the chair pockets made them feel more prepared and important in our classroom community.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue using the chair pockets to support our growing independence during reading and math workshops. Students are beginning to work in small groups and complete more independent activities, so having organized materials easily accessible is making a huge difference. We are also starting end-of-year review projects where students will keep journals, writing pieces, and hands-on learning materials in their chair pockets so they can stay organized and focused throughout the day.","fullyFundedDate":1750774669064,"projectUrl":"project/chair-ing-is-caring/9429642/","projectTitle":"Chair-ing is Caring","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peregrine","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10062467_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750725240154","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10062467"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_130989","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":333,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":130989,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pine Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pine Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/omaha-public-schools/pine-elementary-school/130989"}
