From clipboards, building blocks, puzzles, pencils, poster paper, glue sticks, and journals to learning games and hands-on math activities, these materials have made learning more engaging and interactive. When my students first saw all of the new materials, they were so excited to explore them! One of their favorite experiences has been using the building blocks and hands-on activities during centers, where they work together, solve problems, and learn through play and exploration. It has been amazing to watch their creativity and excitement grow as they use these new resources.\r\n\r\nOur students are continuing to use these materials during centers, small-group instruction, and independent learning. They are building, creating, writing in their journals, practicing math skills, and working together to complete puzzles and learning games. As we continue our current lessons and projects, these resources will give students more opportunities to practice new skills in meaningful, hands-on ways. Thank you for investing in our classroom and helping provide our students with resources that make learning fun, engaging, and accessible each day!","fullyFundedDate":1781461941187,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-kindergarten-co-taught/10273509/","projectTitle":"Supporting Kindergarten Co-taught","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moffett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10501817"},{"teacherId":7151443,"projectId":10334593,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our disc golf project!

With limited outdoor space, we have had to be flexible and creative with the recess activities we can offer. Being able to easily move the targets and set up disc golf wherever we have available space has given students another fun and active option during this time.\r\n\r\nWe are excited to continue using this equipment during recess and for our after-school disc golf club.

Students worked in teams to create posters identifying what they believe are the biggest challenges facing our food system and proposing ways to address growing food insecurity while causing the least environmental damage.

The love and enjoyment of reading has declined so much in recent years that the reading levels of middle school children have fallen too low. I wanted to bring true stories into my 6-8 ELD classroom. The stories are engaging and allow for the students to seek out more information on their chromebooks which brings about more reading. Shhh don't tell them!! \r\n I prepare questions for the books, and we read them together. Comprehension is difficult for my students so I focus many of my questions on what is taking place in the book. I do see the engagement during our discussions. I have come to the realization that I must provide these situations with reading as that is not the first choice of middle school students when they get home.

Although our full weaving and natural dyeing project is still ahead of us, the drying rack funded through this project has already become a valuable classroom resource.\r\n\r\nThis year, it came in handy during a completely different project when students were studying color theory, experimenting with mixing colors, and painting. Having a dedicated place for students to safely dry and organize their work made it much easier for an entire class to participate in a hands-on art activity without worrying about where all of their finished pieces would go.\r\n\r\nI am especially excited to put the drying rack to its originally intended use during our upcoming weaving project in October. Students will experiment with traditional and natural dyeing practices before using their hand-dyed yarn to create woven textiles. The rack will give us a practical way to hang and dry multiple students' yarn at once as we move through the dyeing process.\r\n\r\nI can't wait to continue learning alongside my students as we experiment with natural dyes, weaving, and traditional textile-making practices. I also love knowing that this resource can support so many different creative projects in our classroom for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us build a classroom where students have the materials and space to learn through creating, experimenting, and making with their own hands!","fullyFundedDate":1787172584617,"projectUrl":"project/the-tools-to-weave-history-to-life/10409202/","projectTitle":"The Tools to Weave History to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Priebe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7151443_orig.png?crop=755,755,x253,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1618934202374","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7151443"},{"teacherId":7151443,"projectId":10234378,"letterContent":"This project gave students the opportunity to experience the entire weaving process from beginning to end. Students started by building their own looms using picture frames, nails, and hammers. They carefully measured and placed the nails, learning that precision and patience were important before they could even begin weaving.\r\n\r\nStudents then selected their own color combinations and dyed white yarn to create the colors they wanted for their individual projects. Finally, they used their handmade looms and dyed yarn to weave their own textiles. Giving students choices in color and design allowed each finished piece to be unique while they learned about the skill, time, and craftsmanship involved in textile production.\r\n\r\nThe hands-on nature of this project created an incredible level of student engagement. Students practiced problem-solving, perseverance, creativity, and fine motor skills while helping one another learn weaving techniques. The experience also gave students a much more tangible understanding of historical textile production than they could gain from reading about it alone.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for making this experience possible for our students. Your generosity provided them with an opportunity to build, dye, design, and create something entirely their own while connecting hands-on craftsmanship to their learning. Seeing students take pride in their finished textiles was incredibly rewarding, and we are grateful for your support of creative, memorable learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1778052899037,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-history-part-2-expanding-stud/10234378/","projectTitle":"Hands-On History, Part 2: Expanding Student Creations","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Priebe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7151443_orig.png?crop=755,755,x253,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1618934202374","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7151443"},{"teacherId":9596563,"projectId":10360689,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping bring these new resources into our classroom!

They immediately wanted to know what everything was for and when they would get to use it. There is something so special about seeing how excited kids can get over fresh markers, pencils, and other classroom materials. They were especially excited to hear that these supplies were for all of us to share throughout the year.\r\n\r\nRight now, we are continuing to build our classroom routines while diving deeper into our 2nd and 3rd grade learning.
