The chapter books that I have received have been utilized by the children during independent reading times and they take them home to read as well. The children are excited to read with the new books in the library. There is more variety of books in the classroom library so children don't always have to wait for others to finish a book they want to read. Also the dry erase markers have also truly impacted the children. We are constantly using our dry erase boards for so many different activities and they dry out so quickly so they don't have to worry about not having a marker to use. My children were so excited to see all the new materials. Some of them told me that they are looking forward to reading, which made me so happy. \r\n\r\nThe copy paper has been helping me make copies of homework packets so they can practice skills taught in class. It also helps me copy and print graphic organizers and activities so children can work in mall groups during center time. \r\n\r\nLastly, thank you for the post-it chart paper. Without this, it is hard to make anchor charts to hang up in the classroom so children can refer to so it can help them remember strategies while completing independent work.","fullyFundedDate":1758899086743,"projectUrl":"project/2nd-grade-supplies-equity-focus-school/9700668/","projectTitle":"2nd Grade Supplies Equity Focus School","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Belluzzi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/468250"},{"teacherId":24196,"projectId":9913445,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the copy paper and Teacher Pay Teachers gift cards that helped fun amazing and colorful activities and materials that will help my students learn this school year and grow into confident learners.
