We use our new materials daily! I really wanted my students to be able to get up and move during learning because being a 3rd-5th grade student and sitting all day is a lot to ask sometimes. So, the students use the whiteboards and markers to collaborate with each other but also to get up and move. \r\n\r\nThe students were very excited to try something new with the materials in the classroom. I really admire my students' ability to try new things and take risks. With these whiteboards, they get to try new things in their learning and take risks in an environment where they feel safe to learn from each other and learn from their mistakes. \r\n\r\nThe next steps for my students is to have them working together at the vertical whiteboards to do the homework pages rather than taking it home. This allows me as the teacher to make quick formative assessments, but also allows them to reflect on \r\ntheir knowledge of the lesson that day with the support of a partner. These materials have created such a positive shift in learning for these students and I can't wait to see all the things they will continue to find success in this year!","fullyFundedDate":1746636242284,"projectUrl":"project/show-it-write-it-share-it/9249116/","projectTitle":"Show it!

Your support has truly transformed the way my students engage with learning. What was once just a table has now become an interactive space where students are eager to share ideas, solve problems, and participate in activities in a hands-on way.\r\n\r\nSince adding the dry erase surface, I've seen an immediate boost in student engagement during centers and small group instruction. Students love being able to work directly on the table, whether it's solving math problems, practicing spelling, or brainstorming together. It has created a more collaborative and exciting learning environment, and I've noticed students who were once hesitant now feel more confident participating.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact in my classroom.

My class has really been enjoying using these social emotional books and the stuffed animals to talk about emotions. \r\n\r\nThe books have been a really great start to our mornings, as its been beneficial to talk about emotions while preparing for first grade. The stuffed animal emotions (they are called \"spots\") have been really nice to pass around and talk about a positive emotion when passing around a positive one, and talking about a negative experience and what they did to make it better when passing around a bad emotion. \r\n\r\nThe kids have really enjoyed processing emotions, and I think this will really help with it being the end of the school year, and for them going in to first grade.","fullyFundedDate":1743524113209,"projectUrl":"project/social-emotional-learning-and-more/9217015/","projectTitle":"Social Emotional Learning and More","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8342023_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y372&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647448565166","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8342023"},{"teacherId":8369470,"projectId":9021968,"letterContent":"Thank you for the social emotional games you donated to my class. Emotions aren't easy to share or to talk about with some of my kids. These games provide a fun and sometimes silly way to talk through emotions that are otherwise difficult to express. \r\n\r\nThe Don't Go Bananas game was great because it doesn't have the kids necessarily share their own experiences, but has them reflect on what they would do if they faced situations, such as how they think others feel if they were sitting alone.\r\n\r\nThe CBT123 is about their own experiences, but they do it while potentially moving around the room and doing silly motions. It's fun for the kids. \r\n\r\nThese games have been a great addition to my class.
