The conversation dice is a good way for the kids to get to know each other at the beginning of the year. We also use them at morning community meetings as conversation starters. \r\n\r\nThe young students love the animal dice. They roll the dice and whichever animal it lands on they move around the gym like that animal. It is a great way for us to practice our locomotor movements. \r\n\r\nThe fidget toys for my peace table were not available so I chose some color changing putty for the peace table instead and it has been a big hit. Some of my students get overwhelmed easily and having a quieter, calm space that they can retreat to occasionally really helps. \r\n\r\nNone of this would be possible without you so thank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1786126731940,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-started-20262027/10408647/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Started 2026/2027","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1110852_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784913953176","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1110852"},{"teacherId":4907823,"projectId":10392180,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping us create a Student Care Center where students can feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn! The personal care supplies provided give students access to everyday essentials such as bandages, hair ties, deodorant wipes, toothbrushes, lotion, and stain removers. These items may seem small, but they can make a big difference in helping children feel comfortable and focus on their schoolwork instead of worrying about a minor personal concern.\r\n\r\nIn our upper elementary Montessori classroom, we encourage students to become independent, responsible, and capable of meeting their own needs. The Student Care Center gives students a discreet way to address small concerns while preserving their dignity and building self-confidence. Students can practice making responsible choices, caring for their bodies, and recognizing when they need help.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helps us create a classroom environment where students feel respected, supported, and valued. By removing everyday distractions and providing access to basic personal care essentials, you are helping our students focus on learning, building positive habits, and developing life skills they can carry with them for years to come.

Our students are curious, creative, and eager to explore new stories. With these books, students practice important reading skills, including identifying themes, analyzing characters, making inferences, using text evidence, and comparing perspectives. These skills help them move beyond simply reading the words to understanding the deeper meaning of a story.\r\n\r\nIn our upper elementary Montessori classroom, reading is an opportunity to collaborate, ask questions, share ideas, and learn from one another. During literature circles, students take ownership of their learning by discussing their books, responding to thoughtful questions, and connecting stories to their own experiences and the world around them. Having complete sets of books ensures that every student can participate and contribute to meaningful discussions.\r\n\r\nOur students who enjoy sharing their ideas and hearing different perspectives especially benefit from these opportunities. Readers can build confidence at their own pace while learning from their classmates. The laminating supplies also help protect reusable learning materials so we can continue using them with future students. Your generosity supports stronger readers, deeper thinking, and a lifelong love of reading.

Your generosity has helped transform our classroom into a living laboratory where students can learn science through meaningful, hands-on experiences.\r\n\r\nOur students have embraced the responsibility of caring for our growing collection of plants. They water, prune, propagate, repot, and closely observe changes in their plants. With the supplies provided through this project, students are actively investigating how living things grow and thrive.\r\n\r\nThey are learning to make careful observations, ask questions, solve problems, and work together. Building terrariums allows them to explore miniature ecosystems, while propagation gives them the opportunity to observe how new roots and plants develop. Even challenges like fungus gnats become opportunities to investigate a real-world problem and think critically about how to care for living things.\r\n\r\nPerhaps most importantly, our plants give students opportunities to practice patience, responsibility, and compassion every single day. They are learning that growth takes time and that consistent care makes a difference. Watching a tiny cutting develop roots or seeing a new leaf unfurl creates genuine moments of excitement and wonder.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students aren't just learning about biology from a textbook, they are experiencing it. Thank you for helping us create a classroom where curiosity can take root, responsibility can grow, and both plants and children can flourish.","fullyFundedDate":1787403760888,"projectUrl":"project/watch-us-grow/10412243/","projectTitle":"Watch Us Grow!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carroll","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4907823_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783259188683","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carrollj"},{"teacherId":8999535,"projectId":10173382,"letterContent":"My students were so excited to come back to Yoto players this school year!

Thanks to your support, they will have access to reusable water balloons, Frisbees, a parachute, cornhole, and a wagon filled with everything needed for a day of fun, teamwork, and active play.\r\n\r\nDuring our Park Field Trip, these supplies will become so much more than games.
