Who knew an author could write an engaging story about a boy becoming a superhero simply by stepping in fox pee, while using mostly consonant vowel consonant words? The graphic novel, comic style format immediately hooks readers. Even better, the series intentionally stays at a low reading level for an extended time. My students need many repetitions before they can access more complex words, and these books support that growth. The companion game is equally engaging and entertaining, reinforcing skills while keeping students motivated and excited to learn every single day in my classroom setting.","fullyFundedDate":1762089524650,"projectUrl":"project/fox-kid-decodable-graphic-novel-chapter/9862187/","projectTitle":"Fox Kid Decodable Graphic Novel Chapter Books, and Games","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Merritt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9924181_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740074007346","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9924181"},{"teacherId":10303951,"projectId":9797634,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom! We were thrilled when we saw that you had chosen to support our project. Students have made grade use of our new Chromebook storage and it has made the chaos of the school year dwindle drastically. Chromebooks and chargers are always right where they need to be and of course charged and ready to go for students education.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw it I admit they were a bit confused. I explained what they were to do and walked them through the steps of \"how to use it\" and \"how to store it\" after many many weeks it has become second nature. Personally my favorite aspect is the fact that the chargers aren't in one massive clump so when snow days arise we can distribute quickly. \r\n\r\nThis project has truly been a blessing and I cannot that you enough for allowing my classroom to enjoy such a gift.","fullyFundedDate":1760036657171,"projectUrl":"project/storing-technology-in-our-classroom/9797634/","projectTitle":"Storing Technology in Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kramer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10303951_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759954388702","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10303951"},{"teacherId":5688113,"projectId":9861172,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation to fund this project.

In place of the mailbox organizer that was unavailable, I was able to get stem toys/items to use for indoor recess. These items have been very popular, especially the magnetic building blocks sets. A small rug along with a few book were also supplied in place of the mailbox organizer, and the rug just completes our library! Other basic classroom supplies like the drawer organizer, turn in work bins, and colored paper are used almost daily. It's amazing how these items really have helped to \"complete our classroom.\" As a new teacher it's hard to distinguish between what you need and what you want, but these items have been essential for our daily classroom operation.
