Their faces lit up the moment they saw the Magna-Tiles, fresh crayons, dry erase markers, hot glue sticks, recordable buttons, and new learning books. It truly felt like Christmas morning in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe Magna-Tiles have already become a favorite during math and STEM centers. Students are building shapes, practicing problem-solving, and working together in ways that feel both fun and purposeful. During literacy centers, the recordable buttons have been a game changer—now I can record directions, and students can replay them as needed. This has helped them work more independently and confidently.\r\n\r\nThe crayons and dry erase markers are used daily, whether students are responding during whole-group lessons or practicing skills in their centers. The learning books provide wonderful supplemental material that supports the foundational reading and math skills we're building each day. Even the hot glue has allowed us to bring creative projects to life—whether it's small crafts, math manipulatives, or classroom displays that make our room feel warm and inviting.\r\n\r\nThese resources have opened up new, engaging ways for my first graders to learn. Our next steps include using the recordable buttons for more multi-step centers, expanding our STEM building challenges with Magna-Tiles, and continuing to reinforce reading and math skills through hands-on, meaningful activities.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and helping our classroom shine a little brighter every day. Your generosity is truly making a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1757717602109,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-minds-first-grade-fun-/9454191/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Minds: First Grade Fun & Fundamentals!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carrier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10074423_orig.png?crop=740,740,x126,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752086194024","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10074423"},{"teacherId":4664120,"projectId":9057495,"letterContent":"Thank you for this donation of microphones.
