The base ten blocks and colorful markers immediately became part of our daily learning routines. Students were especially excited about the new floor pillows, which created a flexible and comfortable reading and math station. Having that soft seating option gave them a sense of independence and choice, something many of my students had never experienced before in a classroom setting.\r\n\r\nWe are now using the place value boards and number line boards to support math instruction in small groups, and I've noticed that my students are more engaged and confident when solving problems. The phonemic awareness and handwriting boards have been especially helpful for my ELLs and students with IEPs who need extra repetition with letter sounds and formation. During literacy centers, students move around the room with clipboards and dry erase boards, collaborating and practicing skills in fun, hands-on ways.\r\n\r\nThese materials have completely transformed our learning environment. Thanks to your generosity, my students feel seen, supported, and excited to learn. You've helped create a classroom that is more inclusive, more engaging, and more joyful—and I'm so deeply grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1749737575108,"projectUrl":"project/a-bright-inclusive-space-for-my-second/9391221/","projectTitle":"A Bright & Inclusive Space for My Second Graders!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Santos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7189378_orig.jpg?crop=598,598,x0,y135&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1643997058085","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7189378"},{"teacherId":4745921,"projectId":6798187,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of a document camera for our classroom! This technology has made a tremendous difference in the way my students learn. With the document camera, I am able to project books, worksheets, and student work in real time, allowing every child to clearly see examples and follow along. This has helped my students better understand directions, model problem-solving strategies, and engage in meaningful discussions. It has also been especially helpful during reading lessons, where we can highlight text together and practice fluency as a class.\r\n\r\nThe document camera has quickly become one of the most exciting tools in our classroom. My students love when their work is displayed for everyone to see—it gives them a sense of pride and ownership in their learning. They are more eager to share their strategies in math, read their writing aloud, and contribute to class discussions knowing their work can be seen by their peers. One of my quieter students, who often hesitated to participate, now volunteers regularly because she loves seeing her work projected on the screen and hearing her classmates celebrate her efforts.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided us with a tool that not only supports instruction but also boosts student confidence and collaboration.

Having access to these magazines has transformed the way my students approach reading. With each issue, they are learning how to read informational texts, identify main ideas and details, and make connections to the world around them. These skills are not only helping them grow as readers but are also giving them the tools they need to think critically about current events and real-life situations.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading time now feels exciting and engaging. My students look forward to receiving their new issue each week, and it has quickly become one of their favorite activities. They enjoy partner reading, highlighting key facts, and using the magazine articles as springboards for class discussions. Many of them love the nonfiction stories because they feel connected to what is happening in the world. One student in particular, who often struggled to find interest in traditional storybooks, is now eagerly sharing facts from Scholastic News with his classmates and even at home with his family.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made it possible for my students to not only practice reading, but also to see themselves as informed and capable learners. These magazines are helping them build knowledge, curiosity, and confidence.

The new bookshelf, writing tools, and magnetic letters have transformed our learning environment into an engaging, organized, and inspiring space for young writers. Students now eagerly gather at the writing center during literacy time, selecting mentor texts from the new bookshelf and using the magnetic letters to practice spelling, word building, and sentence creation. One of our favorite projects so far involved creating \"My Favorite Place\" books. Students used the materials to brainstorm ideas, draft their writing, and even design illustrated covers. Watching their confidence grow as they shared their stories aloud was a proud and joyful moment for us all.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were ecstatic. Their eyes lit up as they saw the vibrant magnets and neatly organized writing tools. Some were even thrilled to explore stories and characters with the display bookshelf. Now that they've become familiar with the resources, we're diving deeper into narrative writing. Our next project involves students writing letters to their future selves, incorporating descriptive language and personal goals.
