We worked together to sort our books into categories, and the children were excited to help decide where each book belonged. This simple addition has transformed our reading corner into a space where students can easily find stories that interest them, encouraging more independent reading and helping them develop a stronger love for books. One of my favorite moments was seeing a group of students explore the bins during literacy centers, proudly discovering books they hadn't noticed before and recommending titles to one another.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue using the bins to support our reading routines, including helping students select \"just-right\" books and rotating themed selections for weekly units. Having an organized and accessible library gives students more ownership of their learning and creates meaningful opportunities for them to engage with books independently. Thank you for providing such a valuable resource that will benefit my class all year and help them grow as confident, enthusiastic readers.","fullyFundedDate":1764706479519,"projectUrl":"project/a-home-for-every-book/9928527/","projectTitle":"A Home for Every Book","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rendon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9156346_orig.jpg?crop=1592,1592,x745,y1421&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743129066527","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9156346"},{"teacherId":9156346,"projectId":9873805,"letterContent":"The new books and their matching plush characters have brought so much excitement and engagement in our classroom. With titles like Piggie and Gerald, The Smart Cookie, and The Good and Bad Egg, my students are practicing key early literacy skills such as sequencing, identifying story elements, making predictions, and talking about character traits. These stories also support social-emotional learning by helping students explore kindness, problem-solving, and understanding feelings. Reading time has become one of the most joyful parts of our day, with students eagerly gathering on the carpet, acting out scenes, and participating in shared reading routines.\r\n\r\nThe plush characters have made reading even more meaningful and accessible, especially for students who are usually hesitant to participate. One of my reluctant readers now proudly holds the Smart Cookie plushie during lessons and has begun pointing out words she recognizes in the text. These new materials have transformed our literacy block and created a warm, playful environment where every child feels excited to learn and grow as a reader.

When the new materials arrived, the students' faces lit up with excitement. The large digital wall clock quickly became a favorite—students love watching the colors change and using the timer to help us transition smoothly between activities. The peg board bead game and counting bears have made math centers more hands-on and fun, encouraging sorting, counting, and pattern-making while strengthening fine motor skills. One memorable moment was when students proudly created a rainbow with their bears. The clip-connect building blocks have also sparked teamwork and creativity, as students work together to design towers, bridges, and imaginative creations. The boxwood bulletin board paper has brightened our classroom, creating a beautiful backdrop that highlights our students' pictures. The magnetic bingo wands have brought laughter and excitement to small group games and sensory play.

The cardstock paper has helped us create beautiful and colorful projects. We appreciate your donation so much in our classroom.\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited when they first saw the materials. They thought it was so cool as I was setting up the mailboxes. Even when I took the cardstock out of the packaging they were so excited to start making art.

The built-in bins keep everything organized and accessible, encouraging independence and creativity. The Coume Wood Slice Floor Cushions have added a cozy, inviting feel to our reading and calm-down areas, giving students flexible seating that sparks imagination and comfort.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, they were thrilled — many couldn't wait to start using the table, and the cushions were instantly claimed during reading time. We're currently using the table during our \"Five Senses\" unit, where students explore different textures and materials to build vocabulary and observation skills. These resources have made learning more interactive, fun, and meaningful.

Students were thrilled to test different objects and predict whether they would sink or float, sparking lively discussions about science and cause and effect. The LITTLE BUD KIDS Counting Pegs and Wooden Montessori Math Toys have been invaluable in helping students build their math skills, with students eagerly counting and sorting, bringing math concepts to life in an engaging way. When the new materials first arrived, my students couldn't contain their excitement, diving right into games like the JUNWRROW Magnetic Bingo Wand and GKDOMS Counting Dinosaurs, which encouraged collaboration, counting, and matching. Looking ahead, we'll be using the RAINBOW TOYFROG Chain Link Math Manipulatives to create patterns and sequences, deepening their understanding of key math concepts.

The pocket charts helped to organized their visual learning cards, which made it easier for everyone in the classroom to see and use. Students were able to point to the cards on the pocket chart and read them. The poster charts allowed for students to get creative and create anchor charts that depicted their learning.
