We will use the glasses to experiment with sand to show how wind causes erosion. When the sand flies my students won't have to worry about getting sand in their eyes! The best part is I have enough glasses for every student in my class this year and for future classes. This is truly a gift for all of us!\r\n\r\nThe play dough was the biggest hit with students.

We are currently in the middle of state testing and having plenty of pre sharpened pencils makes testing easier for all of us. I can quickly trade out a pencil when students are working and they don't lose their concentration. Another bonus is other students are not distracted by the pencil sharpener during testing. \r\n Most students had never seen a long arm stapler before let alone used one! These have been great and will continue to be used by teachers and students as we complete projects. From teachers making booklets for student learning in \r\nmath to students putting their colonial projects together in social studies we can put together our projects so much quicker and they look amazing! \r\n Thank you for helping my students learn and grow!","fullyFundedDate":1737511074887,"projectUrl":"project/organization-and-tools-help-students-lea/9031490/","projectTitle":"Organization and Tools Help Students Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Navarro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8375718"},{"teacherId":808953,"projectId":7166503,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations that helped us have books in hands that followed our old west units.
