We've already begun putting our new resources to use, and my students are loving the experience. We recently started growing seeds in milk cartons, which has become a wonderful hands-on project for our \"From the Farm to the Table\" unit.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, they were a little confused at first, but as soon as we took out the seeds and started talking about where our food comes from, they immediately knew what to do. It was such a fun \"aha\" moment to watch them make those connections and take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nOur next big step is to get our hydroponics shelf set up and ready to grow vegetables over the winter break. The students are so excited to see how plants can grow indoors and to continue learning about sustainability and healthy food.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has brought so much excitement and curiosity to our classroom, thank you for helping us make these learning moments possible!","fullyFundedDate":1747251345586,"projectUrl":"project/plant-it-grow-it-eat-it/9298439/","projectTitle":"Plant it, Grow it, Eat it","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8696642_orig.png?crop=362,362,x50,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749961464656","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8696642"},{"teacherId":7236195,"projectId":9440894,"letterContent":"Our new headphones are being used daily during intervention, audio books, and formative assessments. They help students focus, engage with lessons, and take ownership of their learning. The technology allows every student to access content in a way that meets their needs and keeps them motivated to succeed.\r\n\r\n\r\nMy students are especially excited about all the new classroom tools! They love using the jobs chart to track their weekly responsibilities, the testing dividers during progress monitoring checks, and the folders and pocket chart to manage their individual data trackers. These resources give students tangible ways to organize their work and celebrate their learning.\r\n\r\n\r\nAll of my students have really embraced these new tools, but some who previously struggled to stay organized or track their goals have shown tremendous growth. They are now taking responsibility for their learning, keeping track of their progress, and working hard to meet and even exceed their goals.

It's become the heart of our classroom where we come together for whole group lessons, small groups, literacy centers, and our daily meet-up circles. The carpet has created such a warm, fun, and welcoming space where my students feel safe and excited to learn. It's amazing how something as simple as a carpet can bring so much joy and connection to our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe moment the carpet arrived, my students were over the moon! They couldn't stop talking about the colors and how soft it was. Many of them immediately asked if we could start our lesson there. Their excitement and smiles filled the room — it truly made my heart so happy.\r\n\r\nWe'll continue to use our carpet every day as our main learning space. It's where we share ideas, learn new things, and build our classroom family.

Our classroom library is now a vibrant, bustling hub where students recommend books to each other and proudly share what they are reading. This shared experience is building a strong and supportive classroom community. \r\n\r\nIt's wonderful to see the progress my students are making with their reading! One student, who previously hesitated to engage with books, has now discovered a passion for the 'Far Out Fairy Tales' series. This series, known for its creative graphic novel format that twists classic fairy tales with modern elements, has sparked her excitement for reading. She eagerly anticipates opportunities to read these stories, which is a significant step in developing her reading confidence and fluency. \r\n\r\nAnother student is also showing increased engagement and enjoyment with the 'Eerie Elementary' series. This series features easy-to-read text, high-interest content, and illustrations. It encourages reading stamina and boosts confidence, highlighting the power of finding a series that aligns with a student's interests. \r\n\r\nThese are encouraging examples of how matching students with engaging books can foster a love for reading and significantly impact their literacy skills. \r\n\r\nThese books will continue to inspire students in my classroom for years to come.

The listening center greatly impacted not only my students but it impacted me as well. I am not new to education but I am new to the elementary classroom. When I saw the product for the listening center, I was so excited about it that I didn't read the fine print. The product arrived at my school and I eagerly opened it and wanted to get started with it right away. However, it didn't come with any of the CDs or books. I asked around and no one had books on CD anymore. I didn't give up. I took my intervention resources home and I bought a CD burner, CDs and CD labels. I made my own CDs with my voice on it, reading the books to the kids.\r\n\r\nI absolutely LOVED learning how to do all of that for my students. I brought everything back to school and started to teach the kids how to use the product. They absolutely loved learning how to use it. However, the best part was the reaction that they got when they heard my voice on the CD! They were so excited, happy, and eager to hear the stories! This listening center is a BIG hit in my classroom. They are always excited to read on a daily basis.

My students are 5 to 6 years old, and they very much enjoy having their own technology to use instead of having to go without it. They were all excited to see the headphones with microphones that they were going to use. They can now concentrate on the task at hand without being distracted by other noises or voices in the classroom.\r\n Some of the activities that the technology allows them to participate in include recording their voices counting numbers 1 through 20, counting backwards from 20 to 1, naming the letters of the alphabet, pronouncing the sounds that each letter makes, and counting to 100.\r\n The next project that they are excited about is reading a story to me. I will upload a story onto their I-Pads, and they will use the microphones to record themselves reading a story to me. This will give me a chance to review their recording several times to provide guidance and feedback about their readings. Again, I am very grateful and appreciative for the gift.
