The supplies I got from this project help me to provide hands-on learning experiences for my students. Our students are used to reading and writing on their computers, but sometimes I find it best to give them a printed copy of something, along with a pencil and a highlighter, and ask them to read and annotate. This gets them thinking in a different way. However, if they don't have the supplies to do this, it doesn't work. This is where you and your donations come in. Thank you. \r\n\r\nI also use these supplies as I have students work in groups. They can write with the whiteboard markers on their desks or small whiteboards.

There were a variety of supplies on my list, from cleaning and organizing supplies, to arts and crafts supplies. My students were VERY curious when I began to receive an abundance of packages, especially because I RARELY have things delivered to my classroom. \r\n\r\nThe organization supplies were very much needed. I'm in my fourth year of teaching and I still didn't have paper trays or turn-in baskets. This has made my life so much easier- instead of having stacks of paper all over the place, I can simply say \"put it in the basket\" and my students know what I'm talking about! And having a basket for each class makes grading significantly faster. Additionally, I requested just some organizing bins and pouches. These have been wonderful in helping me to organize my cabinets. \r\n\r\nLots of the arts and crafts supplies were requested specifically for February- In February, we read Romeo and Juliet. On Valentine's Day, I have my students create a Valentine from one character in the story to another (typically either from Romeo to Juliet or vice-versa). The alphabet stickers and magnets will be so useful for this project, as lots of students don't like their handwriting and want to use the alphabet stickers to make it look \"nice\"","fullyFundedDate":1733182114894,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-dragoos-phenomenal-year/8667810/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Dragoo's Phenomenal Year","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dragoo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9682848"},{"teacherId":8053827,"projectId":8512216,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all your donations!

Unlike trackpads, which can sometimes be cumbersome and imprecise, these mice offer increased control and precision. This allows students to interact with digital content more accurately.
