The book bins we received were exactly what we needed for the kids to see the front book covers. As you can imagine, picture books for primary grades do not have big spines, so the bins I inherited with my classroom did not serve a purpose. We tried to make due, but the kids simply could not see what books were in the bins by looking at the spines. \r\n\r\nYour generous donations not only create more space for books, but also make it easier for my TK kids to reach the books and put them away in the appropriate color coded bin. \r\n\r\nSchool Districts provide essentials, but often items like book bins are considered non-essential - because in some minds a book shelf should work. However, book shelves are designed for you to see the spines of books, not book covers. These book bins are absolutely perfect for our class and we are so excited to have a much better organized book space. \r\n\r\nThe kids noticed immediately the change from black skinny bins with sideways facing books to colorful book bins with forward facing book covers. They now use the reading center at free choice because they can actually SEE what books they have to choose from. \r\n\r\nWe are hoping to create a librarian job, a book shelving job, and a library checker to our classroom jobs now that the kids are more invested in our classroom book selection. \r\nThank you so much for your help and support.","fullyFundedDate":1763474692704,"projectUrl":"project/book-bins-galore-sure-way-to-score/9638816/","projectTitle":"Book Bins Galore - Sure Way to Score!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Olinger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9566768_orig.jpg?crop=534,534,x0,y222&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718059892263","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9566768"},{"teacherId":9566768,"projectId":9636278,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your very generous donation to our Classroom Library, by supporting our wish to add new Social Emotional Books for our TK kids. With your generous donation, our classroom library has a whole bin of books that are interesting, age-appropriate, and provide many different ways to teach kids about their feelings. Research shows that if we can provide young kids with positive ways to work through and understand their emotions, they are much more apt to self-soothe, self-calm, and show less dramatic and big emotions later. With appropriate and meaningful Social-Emotional Books, my kids are much more excited to sit in our reading area and actually look at and discuss with their friends the pictures of how they're feeling. We have read many already and they are fun, relevant, and keep my students' attention. They may not be reading YET, but they are definitely interested in the pictures, the characters, and the fact that they can actually hold a book in their hands with pictures that they can relate to. \r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, we look forward to finding a book that relates to how one of our classmates is feeling and use it as an immediate resource. This could not have happened without you! \r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough, on behalf of myself and all 17 of my TK kiddoes!

This space helps them feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe items you provided are used in so many ways beyond the corner itself. Students love taking the pillows to different areas of the classroom, lying on them while working at tables or during floor activities. The weighted animals, affectionately named Sally the Sloth and Ellie the Elephant, have become favorites. These items not only bring comfort but also help students calm their bodies and focus their minds.\r\n\r\nIt has been amazing to watch students independently choose to use the calming space or tools when they need them. The signage included has been especially helpful in guiding students through strategies to regulate themselves.

I've watched students who normally struggle with letter work light up when using the maze, it feels like play, but it's powerful learning.\r\n\r\nThe shape-matching eggs have also been a favorite.
