I've been teaching for quite a while now, and as I always tell my students, well-loved books wear out, and that's ok. Along with books wearing out, there are always so many new, amazing books to consider adding to the classroom library! I always have a running list of engaging new titles that align with our learning and grade level, which would make good additions to our classroom.

It is amazing what an impact matching bins and uniform storage can make! \r\n\r\nThese materials have made it so much easier for my students to independently find their materials and put them away. Having bins all the same size means there is no confusion over which lid belongs to which bin or where the bins can be stored so they fit on shelves. This project has allowed my incoming first grade students to quickly identify their materials and independently put them away after using. \r\n\r\nThe new whiteboards have also been a great addition to the classroom so students can practice their phonics and math skills on clean boards with no leftover marks from previous classes that won't erase. There are enough materials for everyone to use and they can all independently locate what they need.","fullyFundedDate":1746787102308,"projectUrl":"project/uniform-organization-for-independent-lea/9295771/","projectTitle":"Uniform Organization for Independent Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Beatty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1001256_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1468352427621","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/heidi-beatty"},{"teacherId":696744,"projectId":9300170,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for choosing to support my quest for a calm, clean classroom environment.

Students have a chance to use them once their independent work is complete and having them in the classroom has motivated everyone to finish their tasks so they can listen to stories. \r\n\r\nWithout your donations to the project, I would not be able to provide this technology to my students. The students share the materials using headphone splitters and enjoy chatting about the stories with their friends.

We have been working as a class to transition to being screen free in student down time, and Yoto players have been instrumental in this change. Kids have been listening to stories, doing quizzes, learning about different countries and flags, and being exposed to new and different stories based on what we have available on Yoto. Kids are also revisiting classic books since we have Yoto cards for those, and then they go and find those books to enjoy from our class library! \r\n\r\nThe kids love the versatility of the Yoto players. They have many options of things to do on them - podcast style cards, story cards, a kid friendly radio station, and a kid friendly 'daily news' station. In the school day, kids do not always have autonomy over how they spend their time. Being able to choose what kind of listening they are doing has been immensely powerful and exciting to the kids. Some students use them while they are drawing, and other students use them as a \"mental break\" - they will listen to them and just sit and rest their bodies for a moment. It's a long school day and they are still so little. Thank you for such a lovely resource that supports so many different kinds of learners.","fullyFundedDate":1733280358425,"projectUrl":"project/yay-for-yoto/8951054/","projectTitle":"Yay for Yoto!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lozano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5025562_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516328758622","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5025562"},{"teacherId":696744,"projectId":8645374,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your help with providing a nice classroom refresh for my students this year. I've been teaching for many years, the cracked organization bins and stains on our library rug were multiplying. It was definitely time for a fun and functional classroom upgrade.\r\n\r\nI know many students thrive in an organized, clean and calm classroom environment. It is exceeding hard to create this type of environment with a very small anual classroom budget which is why I lean on Donors Choose and greatly appreciate donors like you!\r\nClear supply bins have made it easier to keep art supplies organized. Rolling book bins have made it simpler to kids to browse and return classroom library books. A new library carpet has created a comfy and calm reading space.
