When the students first saw the brightly colored 3 ring binders I think I actually heard some squeals. They felt very special to be given brand new binders of their very own to use for the year.\r\n\r\nThe binders are also so helpful because their work is kept neat, as opposed to getting all wrinkled in folders. Their stories are so easily accessible for rereading, which they often love to do with a partner.\r\n\r\nThank you, thank you from so many young, eager readers!","fullyFundedDate":1755733669216,"projectUrl":"project/reading-at-the-ready/9579139/","projectTitle":"Reading at the Ready!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Weissman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4901910"},{"teacherId":4809164,"projectId":9613266,"letterContent":"A sincere thank you for helping bring these materials to my classroom. The binders, page protectors, and zipper pouches have streamlined my math groups. Students are easily able to store math games and materials in their desks to use as an extra independent activity. \r\n\r\nEven with a few leftover minutes students can pull out their binder and practice skills in a fun way. We have used these materials daily and saved so much time by not needing to pass out and collect the materials. \r\n\r\nWith students being in charge of their own materials I have seen an increase in responsibility and we have had less students lose materials. I also anticipate that students having the materials in their desk will cut down on spreading germs during the upcoming cold and flu season. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for making this possible for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1756144510546,"projectUrl":"project/math-game-organization/9613266/","projectTitle":"Math Game Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McDonough","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4809164_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1505783325659","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/haleyroom4"},{"teacherId":4809164,"projectId":9282661,"letterContent":"Students are so excited to have these nonfiction book and CD sets. When the materials arrived I was able to start a new listening center. Listening comprehension strategies have been a struggle for many students this year. It seems children are too used to be in front of a screen and have lost stamina for looking at books. My class is now able to have an entirely new listening center where students have texts in hand instead of looking at a screen. These resources are especially helpful for struggling readers since they can practice their comprehension skills. \r\n\r\nPreviously our listening center was independent work. However, we learn best when they can engage in meaningful collaborative conversations about what they are learning. With these new materials, students listen to the text, and the complete a worksheet together to deepen their understanding of the text. \r\n\r\nI am very thankful that students can have a listening center that is screen free.","fullyFundedDate":1746490042304,"projectUrl":"project/screen-free-listening-center/9282661/","projectTitle":"Screen Free Listening Center!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McDonough","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4809164_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1505783325659","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/haleyroom4"},{"teacherId":8049726,"projectId":8770144,"letterContent":"I'm absolutely thrilled to share that your generous contributions have transformed our Pre-K classroom!
