My students are absolutely loving their new reading options that you helped to provide. Many students who struggle to find something of interest to them have been able to find something in these new books.\r\nWe read every day in class, and it brightens my day to see students grab a new book off of the shelf when they finish one and are ready for their next read. Many of the students have gotten excited about new books that are a part of a series you've helped to supply. Once again, thank you so very much for helping me supply a new variety of books for students in my classroom right now as well as for students in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1759161857080,"projectUrl":"project/reading-connections/9445671/","projectTitle":"Reading Connections","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cameron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6310270_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1622778772302","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misscameron"},{"teacherId":5580970,"projectId":9488207,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your generous donations. They were very excited when the boxes came in and when I unboxed the Cricut. They couldn't wait till I gave them an assignment to start brainstorming things they could do with it. My students have created projects to personalize their water bottles, as well as teacher names on the back of hallway passes. Their ideas just keep coming how they can help teachers around the school or create fun projects around the school. We can't express how thankful we are for this project to be completed.","fullyFundedDate":1757944889826,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-students-through-stem/9488207/","projectTitle":"Empowering Students Through STEM","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lemons","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5580970_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1537977203395","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5580970"},{"teacherId":9936854,"projectId":9145893,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping our students bring the outdoors into the classroom. The waders have enhanced our ability to take fish samples for our fish population studies. Thank you deeply for your support.\r\n\r\nMore students are able to do sampling in a safe manner. We have the ability to have more students able to wade and operate the seine net, where as before students were afraid of getting wet or hurt. This project can grow further due to your contributions. Currently, I have 3 students that have voiced that they want to pursue employment with dnr and conservation.","fullyFundedDate":1743027043614,"projectUrl":"project/finding-nemo-fish-identification-and-a/9145893/","projectTitle":"\"Finding Nemo\" Fish Identification and Aquatic Sampling","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Carlock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9936854"},{"teacherId":9828707,"projectId":9031566,"letterContent":"Thank you for your continued support of my students. They were thrilled to have new supplies that they have an opportunity to use. I believe they were most excited about the fidgets. I ordered lots of different types so they'd have options to choose from. It was surprising to me that the long snake like fidgets were the most popular. I've recently taken a class that a teacher had listed her top picks when getting sensory items for her students and I made my wish list based on her recommendations. \r\n I think my students were overwhelmed (in a good way) by the number of choices they had. I was happy that everything came so quickly too. Besides the fidgets, they have an opportunity to get a new folder, notebook, or earbuds if they need to have those items replenished. Thanks again for helping out my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1736961907797,"projectUrl":"project/new-supplies-for-the-new-year/9031566/","projectTitle":"New Supplies for the New Year","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rittenhouse","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9828707"},{"teacherId":5444910,"projectId":8896542,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and giving to our Cricut project. My students were able to use the new Cricut to create Christmas gifts for their friends and families. Each student picked a personalized design to decorate a water bottle to give as a gift. We have also been able to cut and apply school spirit stickers and name tags to lockers and other items.\r\nMy students were so excited to open up the new materials that would enable us to do so many fun projects. They instantly started brainstorming new ideas for how to utilize the Cricut and vinyl. Several students asked to start creating labels for everything in the classroom! \r\nThe next item on the agenda for our Cricut is to make a class book and use the machine to illustrate it. Many students in our classroom struggle with fine motor skills, so illustrating by cutting out pictures on the Cricut will give them a great finished product.

I requested and received three different novel sets with enough books for twenty-five students to use. \r\n In the fifth grade, we learn about the Holocaust and I use Number the Stars to help teach this historical event with my students. This book is a little more gentle than some of the other novels about the Holocaust for 5th graders to grasp. It's also a Newberry Award Winning book so kids are also introduced to quality literature. \r\n Another one of the novel sets is Maniac Magee. It's is another Newberry Award Winning book. If you've not read this book, I highly recommend this book. There are lots of different themes that people might encounter in life that are introduced in this novel. \r\n The last novel set that I was able to get is Tuck Everlasting.

We use the dry erase boards in my classroom daily and lots of days multiple times a day for math, language, and reviewing for science or ss. \r\n We don't use the balance or graduated cylinders as frequently, but it is something that I've wanted but didn't have the means to purchase them without your help. \r\n My students were so excited when the boxes came!
