Your generosity helps us keep our learning space organized, interactive, and ready for new ideas every day.\r\n\r\nWe use A LOT of tape in our classroom! It helps us hang anchor charts that we create together during lessons so students can revisit important ideas in reading, writing, and math. The chart mounts allow us to display these charts neatly so students can easily see and use them as learning tools.\r\n\r\nTape also helps us with hands-on activities. Recently, students even worked together to put a puzzle together and secure the pieces so we could display it in our classroom. Moments like this remind us that we are better together—working as a team, helping each other, and celebrating what we can accomplish as a class community.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom walls become learning spaces where students can see their thinking, their work, and their progress every day.\r\n\r\nThank you for being part of our classroom community and helping our students learn, grow, and collaborate.","fullyFundedDate":1769139777655,"projectUrl":"project/lets-stick-with-learning/10009192/","projectTitle":"Let's Stick with Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1059192_orig.jpg?crop=807,807,x0,y121&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715126201597","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dgong"},{"teacherId":818773,"projectId":9931225,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing me with a gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers.
