The new resources opened new ways to teach letters, sounds, writing, and more!\r\nTo support fine motor hand muscles, I introduced pencil grips to those students that needed that extra support. It was easy and a fun way to demonstrate correct pencil grip. In addition, I utilized the grip with the fun new rainbow pencils and smile top pencils. These instantly became favorites! Sometimes using a pencil to practice writing can be \"boring,\" but these new pencils definitely brought motivation and excitement. \r\nThe Learning Without Tears materials are wonderful. The puppet was engaging to teach all about \"magic c.\" The CD had fun, entertaining, educational songs to teach all about writing. The Blackboard with Double Lines, Trays for the Roll-A-Dough Letters, and Show Me Magnetic Pieces for Capitals all complemented the program nicely as we practiced different ways to build and write the letters. Sometimes the students got a little more creative and used them to spell their names or their friends' names. \r\nNew materials for hands on learning such as the zoo phonics board game, letter tracing sensory pad, and letter matching ice cream cones were also most exciting for the kids because they thought it was play, but really we were doing both, playing and learning!\r\nThank you for this opportunity in donating new learning materials!","fullyFundedDate":1774963837767,"projectUrl":"project/building-strong-readers-and-writers-one/10042822/","projectTitle":"Building Strong Readers and Writers, One Letter at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Salmeron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3010041_orig.jpg?crop=693,693,x412,y132&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1578772817576","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-ysalmeron"},{"teacherId":3010041,"projectId":10194573,"letterContent":"My students were enthusiastic when they saw the big packages arrive to the class. They were curious to know what was inside. After school I put together the basketball hoop, art easel, and unboxed the jumbo linking cubes. \r\nWhen the students had the opportunity to try out the basketball hoop, they couldn't wait for their turn. They said it was \"cool\" and they had so much joy when the basketball make it inside the hoop. It is a great way to practice their gross motor skills and cooperative skills.\r\nThe art easel was popular and they were eager to start painting. It was nice to see we are able to bring more Art outdoors now that we have this easel. The best part is that we can have 4 students using it at a time. \r\nThe jumbo linking cubes were so much fun. The students were amazed because they have only seen the regular sized ones during indoor play.

My students' reaction to our new classroom was priceless with \"oohs\" and \"aahs\" the first day they entered.\r\nIn addition, having a new and reliable projector along with a pull-out screen was a definite game changer. We have been able to view our learning slides, listen to our daily routine music, do brain breaks, and watch educational videos with no interruptions. In all, this technology which was so much needed, has helped maximize our learning and teaching time.\r\nAgain, we want to thank all our donors for making what seemed an overwhelming change in the school year, one that turned out to be an opportunity for a new, colorful and more effective learning space.

We were able to create name plate cards for the \"Question of the day\" pocket chart, in which the students respond to as they arrive in the morning.\r\n\r\nWatercolor activities have also been a joy for them!
