They love to use sight word fishing game, the Zingo word builder, the Hand2mind games (reading and math), the phonics dominoes, and more! The favorite math materials are the Number Park game, Number blocks, counters, the abacus, and also so much more! I set a timer ands have them rotate, so that they get a chance to practice their skills with multiple activities. They love it so much.","fullyFundedDate":1768191824053,"projectUrl":"project/engage-our-attention-with-fun-reading-an/10007892/","projectTitle":"Engage Our Attention with Fun Reading and Math Games!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cerboni","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2910060_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470702823555","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2910060"},{"teacherId":4101063,"projectId":9990658,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your donation towards our classroom!

But then you also have the smaller things that you don't really think of, like binders, classroom incentives, hygiene items, and bean bag filler to make the classroom comfy.\r\nBecause of this project, our classroom is nicely stocked and ready to take on these last few months!

The students were excited to try the different snacks as well as these snacks acted as encouragement for them. They were excited to come to small group.\r\nMy small group students were also able to learn about cleanliness and the importance of cleaning our environment to help us stay healthy! They were in shock to see how dirty the tables were every time we wiped them down! This allowed me to not only instruct them in their core subjects but support health. \r\nFurthermore, the organizational materials, such as the folders ensure that my students maintained their materials and handouts organized. This ensured that they were better prepared and equipped to participate in small groups. The Ticonderoga pencils were a huge hit too. The students love using this brand of pencils and even commented how they rarely broke. The use of great writing tools is necesary during small groups to ensure that we spend our time learning and not worrying about having to sharpen a pencil or finding another one.","fullyFundedDate":1768744047423,"projectUrl":"project/bright-supplies-and-happy-minds-in-4th-g/10035834/","projectTitle":"Bright Supplies and Happy Minds in 4th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martha","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9357391"},{"teacherId":6598975,"projectId":9989689,"letterContent":"Through this project, I was able to bring our classroom and lessons to life.

The Nevada Department of Education grants for Donors Choose have been an incredible help for the last several years.

One of the highlights has been incorporating the hurdles, which have been wonderful for helping students develop their gross motor skills through jumping, balancing, and coordination activities. We also introduced the new soccer net, which has been a fantastic addition for practicing ball traveling skills. Students have been working on kicking, aiming, and controlling the ball, all while improving their coordination in a fun and active way. The multi-tier basketball set has been another big success—especially for our smaller students who previously struggled with a full-height hoop. Now, every child has the chance to participate and feel successful.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students couldn't wait to explore and try everything out. It quickly became a favorite part of our day, and their enthusiasm carried over into each lesson. As we learned about different sports and ways to move our bodies, these resources allowed us to go beyond discussion and actually demonstrate and practice the movements. This hands-on experience made learning more meaningful and engaging for all of our students.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue using these materials in daily activities and future lessons focused on health, teamwork, and physical development. Students will build on their skills by participating in cooperative games, creating simple movement routines, and continuing to strengthen their coordination and confidence. Thanks to your generosity, our students are not only learning about exercise—they are experiencing the joy of movement and building lifelong healthy habits.","fullyFundedDate":1768178167933,"projectUrl":"project/gross-motor-fun-for-every-pre-k-learner/10001514/","projectTitle":"Gross Motor Fun for Every Pre-K Learner","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. R","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10400468"},{"teacherId":10403851,"projectId":10018514,"letterContent":"Our classroom has been filled with excitement and gratitude ever since we received these wonderful new resources.

Some of the items replaced older supplies that had been worn down over time, while others—like our new science anchor charts—introduced fresh opportunities for learning, especially as we dive into our current gardening unit.\r\n\r\nThe students' reactions were truly heartwarming. They felt so special knowing that kind and generous donors chose our class to support. We made sure to talk about how these gifts came from people who believe in them and want to see them grow bright and strong. That message really stuck—students have been more engaged, more motivated, and proud to use the new materials. Even the snacks have made a big difference, giving them an extra boost of energy and helping them stay focused and ready to learn throughout the day.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are so excited to begin our next project: decorating small flower pots and planting their own flowers. This hands-on activity will connect perfectly with our gardening unit and give students a chance to take ownership of something they can nurture and watch grow.
