As students work through challenges and puzzles, they practice using words in meaningful ways, collaborate with friends, and develop strategies to solve problems step by step.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these games make learning feel like an adventure.

The very first day, we opened the boxes together, and the room was buzzing with joy. Many of my students rushed to flip open their new composition books, eager to claim a fresh page to write on. A few even hugged their notebooks as if they were treasures just for them.\r\n\r\nThe pencil grips have been especially helpful for my younger learners who are still developing fine motor skills. They immediately noticed how much easier it was to hold their pencils, and I could see the difference in both their handwriting and their confidence. One of my students proudly told me, \"My hand doesn't get tired anymore!\"\r\n\r\nThe \"Color the World\" crayons sparked one of my favorite classroom moments. My students were amazed to see crayons that reflected so many different skin tones. They began drawing self-portraits during writing time, carefully selecting shades that matched themselves and their classmates. It turned into a beautiful conversation about how unique and special each of us is.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my students will be using their composition books daily for journal writing, phonics practice, and story creation. The crayons will continue to be a part of art and writing projects, encouraging creativity and self-expression. These resources are helping my students not only build essential skills but also feel seen, valued, and excited about learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving them the tools to grow with confidence and joy!","fullyFundedDate":1749575865264,"projectUrl":"project/tiny-writers-big-ideas/9403723/","projectTitle":"Tiny Writer's, Big Ideas!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coleman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10051283_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y186&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749436066481","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10051283"},{"teacherId":9641584,"projectId":9207702,"letterContent":"The impact this DonorsChoose has had on my classroom is amazing!
