I am so glad the students get different genres to read and love. These books have opened up their eyes to concepts or animals they have never heard before. They now tell others facts about the animals and are proud of what they have learned. \r\n\r\nThank you for supporting my but more importantly my students.

This project lifted that worry from their shoulders, replacing it with comfort, security, and gratitude. As we packed each food bag, students kept saying thank you over and over. Some asked if they could bring food home for their siblings. What may seem like simple items felt like abundance to them.

They will design something that goes with our reading, social studies, or science units. \r\n\r\nFor example we will be studying inventions before Christmas break. They will be able to design something they think will help solve a problem. Once they design it they will try to make it with the 3d pens. The students who got to use them during these pictures were so excited. They were talking about how cool it was. They had so much fun. \r\n\r\nWhen the other students saw what they had done they kept asking when they were going to be able to use them.

We've been incorporating the sand art, glass beads, dream catcher materials, clay tools, Native American symbol press tools, and culturally rich literature into our lessons to help students learn about Native traditions in meaningful ways. One memorable moment happened during a lesson on Native American sand art. After reading and discussing its purpose and symbolism, students used the donated supplies to create their own sand art pieces. Watching them apply what they learned so thoughtfully and proudly through their artwork made the experience truly special.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were filled with curiosity and excitement. They immediately browsed through the books, exploring the illustrations and stories while asking questions about the traditions they saw represented. Many could hardly wait until read-aloud time to hear the stories together. The craft materials sparked just as much enthusiasm. Students eagerly planned their sand art designs, selected bead colors for jewelry, and showed great interest in the dream catcher kits. Their reactions made it clear that these resources inspired them to learn, create, and show respect for the culture we were studying.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these supplies will continue to support our lessons throughout the month. Students are working on a cultural study project where they will read, discuss, and reflect on different Native American traditions. They will also create additional artwork, such as clay pieces using the symbol stamps to demonstrate their learning. Your generosity allows us to explore culture in a hands-on, meaningful, and respectful way, and we are truly grateful for the impact these materials are having on our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1761947214254,"projectUrl":"project/traditions-we-treasure-native-american/9795708/","projectTitle":"Traditions We Treasure: Native American Stories and Art","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4110567_orig.jpg?crop=1360,1360,x1300,y1038&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715065673649","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/m-chino"},{"teacherId":4110567,"projectId":9640762,"letterContent":"The first aid supplies have already made a big difference in our classroom.

For instance, during a math craft, one student quickly grabbed a Band-Aid for a paper cut and went right back to work. \r\n\r\nThe students were excited when the supplies arrived.

They love that there is such a variety of items for them to choose from. They make sure to remind me not to forget snack time. \r\n\r\nAs the holiday season is approaching we are finishing this week and next learning about form and function in Science, Reading about Government laws and how they help us and writing informational paragraphs related to our Reading. I always do the 12 days of Christmas with my classes each year. This year I have tried to connect them to a Christmas story and if I can't I still read a Christmas story as they work on a Christmas craft or they get a treat. The first day I had a retired teacher come and she read \"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer\" to them. They then sang the song and were given chocolate crisp candy in the shape fo Rudolph. \r\n\r\nEvery day for the next 12 days we will continue reading a story and either getting a treat to go with it or do a Christmas project to go with it. The week before we leave for Christmas break we will learn about Christmas Around the World and how other countries and places celebrate the holidays. \r\n\r\nThis is an exciting time for our students. They are looking forward to each day to see what the day gives us. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your support for my students.
