As you may recall, the books in this project were replacements for books that had gotten well worn in their time at the library. You can feel satisfied knowing that your money went towards books that will be checked out again and again!\r\n\r\nI have had trouble getting pictures, because these books were immediately checked out when they appeared on the shelves! I'm sure each and every one of us can think of the books that were our favorites when we were younger. Thanks for making the equivalents for a lot of students in our building show up on the shelves again!","fullyFundedDate":1761930295806,"projectUrl":"project/baby-blanket-books/9711058/","projectTitle":"Baby Blanket Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lamar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4740201_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1508016448935","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lindsay-lamar"},{"teacherId":4740201,"projectId":9243350,"letterContent":"Battle of the Books has begun, and students are furiously reading all the books! As a participant, students in grades 3-5 commit to reading as many of the 12 books for the grade category as they can. We have some readers who have already finished all of them, and are starting on their second reads!\r\n\r\nThank you for helping fund this project, which provided enough copies of each book to. allow our students to always have a book on hand to read! The competition is in February, and your donation this last spring allowed us to start the school year with the books in hand, giving those who were extra excited a chance to start reading them from the very beginning.\r\n\r\nWhat I love about the Battle of the Books competition is that I always get to witness students falling in love with books, or discovering a whole new genre that they didn't even know that they would love! Student commitment to becoming \"experts\" on each of these books allows them to read at a deeper level that is just awe inspiring--I don't remember half the things that they do after reading the books myself!

We used both the sticker dots and tempera paint sticks to construct our math pizzas. My students were excited to grab a hold of and paint dots on the paper plates, exploring how to paint using different motions and learning one to one correspondence adding the number of dots that matched the written number. \r\n\r\nWe created an opportunity for families to actively participate in another event. Those who had families attend brought pictures and those who didn't have parent participation were given pictures that we had print out for them to use. All the materials were organized and spread on the counter for everyone to choose from and create. This turned out to be a beautiful moment, watching, observing and seeing how each of the parents interacted and worked with their own child. There was much creativity that had taken place as they followed their lead, supporting and encouraging them along the way. The Washi Tape was definitely one of the materials my students enjoyed the most, as well as the stickers for this activity. There was one student who worked on their project independently and I observed while they created their scrapbook page. There was a rhyme, reason and purpose to what they were creating, being intentional with each of the materials and carefully selecting just the right materials for their vision. This student was highly engaged, thriving, excited, wanting more as this was something of high interest to them. \r\n\r\nI look forward to creating many more opportunities, thanks to your generous donation and providing these materials. Because of you, my student have been given opportunities to create, flourish and express themselves in individual ways using a variety of materials.","fullyFundedDate":1755695563894,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-brighter-future/9573405/","projectTitle":"Creating A Brighter Future","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Julie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2548317_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1625920277223","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2548317"},{"teacherId":9145565,"projectId":9060947,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous hearts! My students are very much alive in the afternoon because of all the yummy snacks you have provided them. They enjoy their small break time having something in their tummies. These snacks are so much appreciated by them and have given them with so much energy to get through the day. They are more motivated to work, happier as I would say. None of my students now are feeling sad when they don't have whole others are enjoying theirs. I always try my best to provide but there are times that we run out of resources, so we thank you with all our hearts!
