One memorable moment was when students worked together on a class project using the materials to solve problems and share their thinking. As they collaborated, they asked thoughtful questions, explained their ideas to one another, and showed a level of engagement that was exciting to see. When the materials were first introduced, students' faces lit up with excitement—they were eager to touch, explore, and immediately begin learning with them.\r\n\r\nNow that the resources are part of our classroom routine, students are building on those initial experiences by applying what they've learned to deeper lessons and projects. They are using the materials to strengthen skills, practice independently, and collaborate with peers as they work toward mastery. Our next steps include using these resources for small-group instruction, enrichment activities, and ongoing projects that encourage creativity and critical thinking. Because of your support, students are more confident, motivated, and excited to continue learning each day.","fullyFundedDate":1742737497762,"projectUrl":"project/recharge-with-brain-breaks-boosting-min/9192032/","projectTitle":"Recharge with Brain Breaks: Boosting Minds & Spirits!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mora","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9970018_orig.jpg?crop=320,320,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742081811710","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/helpmsmora"},{"teacherId":3444089,"projectId":9617375,"letterContent":"Having these canvas pouches has really made my daily routines the best they have ever been.
