The individual whiteboards have made a wonderful difference because every student can show their thinking and participate, even when speaking in front of the class feels difficult.\r\n\r\nOne of my newcomer students was often afraid to share an answer, even in Spanish, and sometimes felt out of place. With the whiteboard, he can now show his math thinking right alongside his classmates. The smile on his face when he realizes he knows the answer and can participate with everyone else is something I will always remember.\r\n\r\nThe laminator has also become such an important part of our classroom. I use it to laminate reading and math worksheets that we use during centers, which allows my students to write on them, erase their work, and use them again and again. This has helped me cut down on the number of paper copies I need to print and has reduced so much unnecessary paper waste.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students more than supplies. You have given them confidence, a voice, and a stronger sense of belonging in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1788181240630,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-futures-one-supply-at-a/10360276/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Futures, One Supply at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cordova","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8481187_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1668516093814","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8481187"},{"teacherId":7824924,"projectId":10098433,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! The literacy games have been a big hit with my students. They were engaging and made small group learning more fun. We were able to play with several of them and they loved it all! Their favorite game was the pop for letters. Since we received different levels, all of my small groups were able to play. They all enjoyed it! We even saw growth in their letter identification skills. Students even helped each other when they noticed someone was having a little bit of trouble and needed more support. It was a wonderful thing to witness!\r\n\r\nI am excited to continue using the games. I am so grateful that you chose to help support my classroom.

Some of our favorite projects that we've made using the construction paper and cardstock that you helped to provide include finger painted fall trees, color mixed pumpkins, spooky bubble painted cauldrons, and most recently, New Year folded paper fireworks.

The paper from this project has helped to bring more art time into our classroom and has made it possible for students to make their creations exactly as they imagine.\r\n\r\nThe large chart paper that you helped to provide is used during lessons to capture and organize student thinking and to create learning materials that are large enough for all students to access. One of our students' favorite routines is reading our weekly poems which are written on the large chart paper. The class spend the first few days of the week reading the poem together. We look for letters and words we know, identify rhyming words, and even practice reading skills like visualizing, sequencing, and inferring. Later in the week, student are excited to take turns using the pointer to read out loud to the class themselves. Looking around and seeing our classroom walls fill up with so much evidence of learning and participation from even our youngest students in school is so impressive.\r\n\r\nThe work we are doing in our classroom would not be possible without your support for this project.

You should have seen the unboxing. Teachers were ecstatic! Your contributions have extended learning for our students with meaningful projects that support reading, writing, and math!\r\n Many of our students lack the resources at home for exploratory art projects and crafts that are common among their more affluent peers. Thanks to you, Windows of Hope, we are able to provide some of these experiences for our kids. This fall, we have coupled their creativity with writing projects, reading response, and math practice. Students are excited to pour their creativity in, but most importantly, they are ENGAGED. \r\n It has been fun to watch students fill with pride as they show their friends and families our wall displays full of student art. We are all looking forward to the many winter and spring projects and how they will elevate reading, writing, and math for the entire primary team.\r\n What a valuable gift.
