Our biggest hit right now is our new library fish and his cool aquarium. The students voted on his name \"Bluey Andrew\" and they love stopping by just to say hi. Leaders of the week are utilized to feed him daily and several students have created cards and drawings for him. He has, no doubt, helped to bring added joy to our media center. The most rewarding part is that our books on fish have begun to circulate more and I have used it as a promotional point to spark interest in more nonfiction reading!\r\n\r\nAdditionally, I am loving our new clear acrylic bookstands and display boards. They are totally functional as well as appealing. Teachers have complimented these updated stands and have asked for information on where to purchase. The additional bins and storage supplies that were funded also help support organization in our library, which is key to keeping everything in its proper place.\r\n\r\nOnce again, I am thoroughly pleased with the impact of this project. Your donation has allowed us to add items that were out of our budget and I am genuinely grateful.

They got very excited when they got our materials and were ready to start working. \r\n\r\nWe are still making the bracelets every month until we can donate them to either the Magnolia Center in Naples Florida or I can travel to Lima Peru to deliver them to The Edgardo Rebagliatti Martins Hospital. Whatever comes first. \r\n\r\nWe have been working helping each other to accomplish our goal. We would like to prepare 100 bracelets . We are using our talents, imagination, and creativity to make every bracelet a unique piece. \r\n\r\nI took pictures of my student making the bracelets to encourage the ladies to be courageous.

We all know that our kids are easily motivated, especially with TAKIS and HOT CHEETOS. Your commitment to help our school is very much appreciated. The donation you made to our school is being used across all grade levels to motivate students to complete some grade level challenges. \r\nKindergarten-Our kids are challenged to count to 100 and once they accomplish this, they receive a treat of their choice. I go in once a month to the classrooms, and the teachers have already tested the kids and we call it the 100 CLUB. We call out the kid's names and they come to front of class and they cheer and receive a treat of their choice. As I am walking around campus kids are always saying to me, Mr. Krause I can count to 100. Maybe they can, or maybe they can't, but it is motivating them to try. At this time we have 10 kids who can count to 100.\r\nFirst Grade- I have created a challenge involving 3 levels (I like to make it like a video game). Level 1 is count to 100, Level 2 is Doubles FACT to 20, and our grade level end-of-year expectation Math Facts within 10 with automaticity. I have no kids currently, as it is too early in the year, but a couple kids are close. I will be retesting next month. \r\nSecond Grade- I have created a challenge involving 3 levels (I like to make it like a video game). Level 1 is Doubles FACT to 20, Level 2 is Math Facts within 10, and our grade level end-of-year expectation is Math FACTS within 20 with automaticity. I have 5 kids who have completed the challenge. It is very early in the year, and I will be retesting next month. \r\nThird Grade-Math FACT challenge will be starting next month. At this time of the year they are creating strategies to solve Math FACTS up to 12 x 12.\r\nFourth Grade- We have a computer program called ALEKS and within it is QUICK TABLES. This program challenges kids to learn Math FACTS within 5 seconds. I am happy to report with your donation we are sitting at 58% completing their FACTS. This is an end-of-year expectation, so we are on track to get a large majority done. \r\nFifth Grade - We have a computer program called ALEKS and within it is QUICK TABLES. This program challenges kids to learn Math FACTS within 5 seconds. I am happy to report with your donation we are sitting at 80% completing their FACTS. \r\nIn recognizing the kids in Kindergarten, First, and Second I bring them on our Pinecrest Elementary News and they are so excited to be seen on TV for their accomplishments. For our Third through Fifth Graders I call their names out during lunch so they can receive their treat and certificate. The kids clap for them and they smile with pride. \r\nAs you can see the donation from Donors Choose has played a huge role in our school's progress relating to Math and the expectations. In Kindergarten I will be going in monthly to see who can count to 100. First and Second, I am planning to go in quarterly as I test every kids individually. Third grade starts ALEKS, Quick Tables next month. Fourth and Fifth I monitor daily and send reports to teachers to encourage them to get it done. The deadline for them is December 31st. On January 1st we switch over to the ALEKS lessons and by the end of the year if any kid has 100% of lessons done, they will receive their certificate of completion and your donated treat. I would love to have your support again next year. Once again thank you for your donation and support of a small little school in Immokalee, Florida.","fullyFundedDate":1755361120194,"projectUrl":"project/im-making-some-chippy-achievements/9595924/","projectTitle":"I'm Making Some \"Chippy\" Achievements","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Krause","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10177256_orig.jpg?crop=192,192,x0,y47&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755608397213","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10177256"},{"teacherId":2373308,"projectId":9623826,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for our classroom rug.
