The first graders are now able to work in collaboration with one another using the building thinking classroom framework. The white boards and markers are essential for kids to work in small group isolation in low floor, high ceiling tasks. Students are using their grouping supplies to apply their critical thinking in solving the problems. The students are enjoying their time working in collaboration, team building, and having time to show their work on a vertical, non-permanent surface that allows them to make mistakes, correct those mistakes, and continue moving onto their skillsets without hesitation of making a mistake. Again, thank you so much for helping me to bring meaningful tools into our classroom to get the kids excited and eager for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1767365319563,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-building-thinking-classroom/9706128/","projectTitle":"Creating A Building Thinking Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vazquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8410196_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657575259165","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8410196"},{"teacherId":1770448,"projectId":7559967,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your thoughtful donation to my project!!
