My students are using them every day during our reading and writing time. One moment that really stood out was during a small group activity where students used the materials to practice vocabulary and build sentences. I saw students who usually hesitate to participate become more confident and excited to share their ideas.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were honestly so excited. They immediately wanted to explore everything and started asking questions and engaging with the activities right away. It made learning feel more fun and meaningful for them.\r\n\r\nRight now, we are continuing to use these resources to support our reading comprehension and writing skills. Our next step is to have students use what they've learned to complete a short writing project where they apply new vocabulary and express their ideas more clearly. I'm excited to see their growth as they become more confident readers and writers.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1769177845564,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-that-stick-sketch-and-sharpen/9762798/","projectTitle":"Supplies That Stick, Sketch, and Sharpen Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Said","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9286553"},{"teacherId":9605076,"projectId":9398861,"letterContent":"The students of Room 203 at Washington Community School in Bayonne New Jersey are LOVING their cozy corner!
