The pocket chart, pencil sharpener, and word-frame paper have already made a noticeable difference in our daily phonics work.\r\n\r\nWe've begun using the pocket chart during our first-grade phonics lessons, and it has transformed how my students practice building and decoding words. One moment that really stood out was when a small group eagerly took turns placing letter cards in the chart to blend new sounds—seeing their excitement and confidence grow was wonderful. The new pencil sharpener has also been a hit; my students love being able to sharpen their pencils quickly and independently, which keeps our lessons running smoothly. The word-frame paper has added a hands-on element to our writing routines, helping students visually break apart and build words with much more accuracy.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were thrilled. They immediately asked, \"Can we use it today?\" Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it reminded me how powerful the right tools can be.\r\n\r\nThese resources will be used throughout our current phonics unit as we continue practicing blending, segmenting, and spelling new patterns. Our next steps include using the pocket chart for weekly word-sorting activities and incorporating the word-frame paper into small-group interventions to support growing writers.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our classroom. Your kindness has brought excitement, independence, and joy to our learning—and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758898804865,"projectUrl":"project/pocket-charts-with-a-purpose/9693497/","projectTitle":"Pocket Charts With a Purpose","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walpole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3640835_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1630125635914","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3640835"},{"teacherId":1508420,"projectId":9471798,"letterContent":"Time is flying by in first grade!

After spending sometime exploring the functions of the Bee-Bots, the students have now moved on to using them for coding. They are currently following code that has already been written for them and learning how to program the Bee-Bot so that they can complete the mission.

They are a fantastic tool for helping students isolate sounds and learn how to spell with confidence. This week, we focused on adding the suffix -s to base words, and next week, we'll dive into mapping and writing words with the /ng/ sound—like sang, ring, and long.\r\n\r\nOne delightful surprise was discovering that the dry-erase markers are magnetic and stick to the boards! \r\n\r\nYour support has made this possible, and we are deeply grateful.
