The magnetic phonics kit and alphabet arc activities will give students repeated practice with letter recognition, letter-sound relationships, blending, segmenting, and building words. Being able to physically manipulate letters will help students connect the sounds they hear to the letters they see and use when reading and spelling.\r\n\r\nLined dry erase boards and low-odor dry erase markers will allow students to practice letter formation, spelling, phonics patterns, and sentence writing while receiving immediate feedback. Students can quickly erase and try again, making mistakes a natural and productive part of learning.\r\n\r\nThe headphone jack adapters will help students access digital literacy activities and lessons with greater independence while reducing distractions during individual and small-group practice. Together, these materials will support whole-group instruction, small-group intervention, and independent practice while allowing me to meet students at different skill levels.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these resources will help my students become more confident readers and writers by giving them the tools to actively participate in their learning every day.","fullyFundedDate":1787148470058,"projectUrl":"project/letters-in-action-readers-in-the-making/10367022/","projectTitle":"Letters in Action, Readers in the Making","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ksiazak","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2789006_orig.jpg?crop=432,432,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755572036528","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2789006"},{"teacherId":7805626,"projectId":10269242,"letterContent":"I am incredibly grateful for your generosity and for fulfilling our project! The small whiteboards and dry erase markers have made a tremendous difference in my small-group instruction. They allow me to work with targeted groups of students, provide immediate feedback, and tailor instruction and interventions to meet their individual needs.\r\n\r\nThe multiplication flash cards are used daily to build students' math fact fluency and confidence. The math games have also made practicing decimal skills more engaging and enjoyable, helping students see that learning math can be both meaningful and fun.\r\n\r\nThank you as well for the generous set of calculators! As students work with larger calculations while solving for volume, calculators help reduce frustration when fact fluency gets in the way. This allows me to focus on whether students understand the volume formula and the mathematical process rather than whether they can multiply accurately.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided tools that are making a real difference in our classroom every day.

These essential supplies help maintain a clean, healthy, and comfortable space where students can focus on learning rather than distractions caused by illness or discomfort.\r\n\r\nWith a consistent supply of Kleenex, students are better able to manage seasonal allergies, colds, and everyday needs without disrupting instruction or feeling self-conscious. This small but important resource promotes both hygiene and dignity, especially for younger students who may otherwise hesitate to speak up when they need something.\r\n\r\nThe hand sanitizer has become a regular part of our classroom routine. Students use it when entering the room, before and after activities, and during transitions. This habit has helped reinforce the importance of personal responsibility and health awareness, while also reducing the spread of germs. As a result, I've noticed fewer interruptions due to minor illnesses and more consistent attendance.\r\n\r\nClorox wipes have allowed us to keep high-touch surfaces such as desks, shared materials, and classroom tools—clean throughout the day. Not only does this support a healthier environment, but it also gives students a sense of shared responsibility. Many of them take pride in helping wipe down their spaces, which fosters teamwork and respect for our classroom community.\r\n\r\nOverall, these donations have contributed to a safer, more organized, and more supportive learning environment. By reducing health-related disruptions and promoting cleanliness, they allow us to spend more time focused on instruction, collaboration, and growth.
