Your financial support made it possible for me to start the year with both snacks and school supplies available for students who needed them. \r\nMy students were very excited to have such a wide variety of choices available for snack. The jerky, Dot's pretzels, and PopCorners were definitely big hits with my 5th graders! They were also happy to have new pencils (with erasers!) available from day one.\r\nHaving these supplies on hand means that students can focus on their work rather than worrying about not having the necessary materials for class. It also means that students have access to snacks when they are hungry, which also allows them to focus more fully on their learning.\r\nThank you again for your donation.

They had so much fun and we super excited when they dried and we were able to add them to our block center. It was great listening to them talk about the different cars they painted and see how proud they were of their hard work. \r\nAgain, thank you so much for your support!

The renewed energy for reading has become contagious and I have seen students who haven't checked out a book from the library since I started here 2 1/2 years ago get excited about checking out books from our new Manga section. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for helping make my vision a reality. Last week I taught all about Manga to every class in our school, and I watched as the Manga section grew smaller and smaller each day, as students devoured them one by one. I even had to put a limit of two books at a time because I wanted to make sure that all students had the opportunity to explore the new section. \r\n\r\nAs I look ahead, I dream of making this section of our library even more robust. I have already purchased more Manga from a local bookstore and have seen those books fly off the shelves as well. Thank you for your support of this project.

The students LOVE seeing all the maps, books, and cultures from around the world. Having both handheld and classroom globes has ignited passion for geography that continues through our non-fiction book clubs about ancient cultures. All of the maps have been fun to get into kids hands so they could use them in presentations and to find where both modern and ancient countries are in relation to us.\r\n\r\nMy class uses jobs and students who applied to be \"museum curators\" and \"librarians\" are LOVING the history + culture corner. They even created a \"place of the day\" and put a suggestion list currently 12 destinations long that other students can fill out. The museum curators will then find that city, state, or country on our globes and maps and highlight it for other students. \r\n\r\nThe series of bilingual books and language picture dictionaries were impossible to keep OUT of kids hands. They kept appearing in the middle of math, science, and other classes. These language books were well received by the multicultural families and made our ELL teacher happy to see as well.\r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for your kind donations that helped this classroom vision come true.","fullyFundedDate":1755707921929,"projectUrl":"project/build-or-history-culture-corner/9319408/","projectTitle":"Build or History & Culture Corner!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mike","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8662346_orig.jpg?crop=1735,1735,x368,y507&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1661924083415","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8662346"},{"teacherId":7127369,"projectId":9265707,"letterContent":"The students at Bowman have loved the new sensory room. Everyone was so excited to go check it out once everything was all set up and ready to go. Teachers worked with their classes to explore all of the items in the room and talk about how to use them. The special education team also met with the Bowman occupational therapists to learn which activities in the sensory room could help bring a students energy level up or down depending on what they need. \r\nThe sensory room has been a wonderful addition to Bowman. Students have loved all the options and the freedom to be able to regulate their bodies in the way that works best for them. After using the sensory room students are returning to class with calm bodies and minds and are ready to learn. Visiting the sensory room has been worked into the daily schedule for some students and other students use it on a more as needed basis. Flexibility and communication between staff has been fantastic and has helped the sensory room be a successful resource for the school.\r\n\r\nEveryone at Bowman deeply appreciates your support and we look forward to continuing to use and develop our sensory room with many future groups of students.
