I showed them how the Kwik Stix worked and explained how they paint like a marker but dry in seconds. Once they saw the magic of it, they couldn't wait to try them out.\r\n\r\nUsing these has been an absolute game-changer for keeping things truly mess-free in the classroom. We recently used the Kwik Stix for a fun candy corn art project, and because the paint dries in just 90 seconds, there were zero messy spills and no frantic rushing to wash brushes just pure, creative fun painting bright orange, yellow, and white! The storage bins have also been a lifesaver, keeping all our art supplies neatly organized so the kids can easily grab what they need and help clean up independently.\r\n\r\nNext up, we are using our newly organized supplies to kick off our upcoming tree project, where students will paint textured tree bark and vibrant autumn leaves. Thank you so much for making art time easier, brighter, and wonderfully mess-free for my little creators!","fullyFundedDate":1782495733941,"projectUrl":"project/mess-free-masterpieces/10343520/","projectTitle":"Mess-Free Masterpieces","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mendez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10081181_orig.jpg?crop=544,544,x0,y41&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753921445080","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lissette-mendez"},{"teacherId":10532001,"projectId":10339183,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping us to get a rug for our 1st grade classroom! The rug is the centerpiece in our room and has immediately become our central meeting place. In addition to conducting our academic lessons and discussion on our rug, its durability and beauty allows us to do movement activities and dance brain breaks. \r\n\r\nThe rug is a place where we can all sit and read together. When we read our core literature books, like our current one \"Chocolate Fever\" by Robert Kimmel Smith, sitting on our rug makes it so much more enjoyable. It has helped the children enjoy reading even more.\r\n\r\nOur rug has also become a place for the children to create, build, explore, and problem-solve. It is common to see the children working together with piles blocks, Legos, magnets, cardboard scraps, etc. It is so heart-warming to see the children work together. Thank you again for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1784298664859,"projectUrl":"project/a-fresh-foundation-for-learning/10339183/","projectTitle":"A Fresh Foundation for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Matsubayashi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10532001_orig.jpg?crop=4284,4284,x0,y456&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1781545742701","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10532001"},{"teacherId":9840325,"projectId":10280754,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding this project! The dice have already brought tons of energy and fun to math.

They love bringing the dice home for the weekends to share our games with their families. I love that they are teaching their little siblings and cousins, building these skills earlier! \r\n\r\nOne of the most fun things that has grown out of this project is that the students have created many versions of \"Tenzi\", which we play on Fridays. The students created so many versions that we compiled them all into a shared Google Slide, called \"Room 19's Tenzi Galore\". Creating their own versions gives them ownership and increased motivation to keep learning through playing. \r\n\r\nThe whiteboard paper has already made it easier for students to share their thinking and for me to provide visual vocabulary support, especially for my English learners.

With our new whiteboard markers and eraser tips, students can actively participate in dictation, word chaining, and practicing phonics patterns and high-frequency words. These hands-on activities allow me to provide immediate feedback, correct errors, and celebrate progress as students build confidence in their reading abilities. The desk dividers help create focused workspaces where students can concentrate, work independently, and feel successful.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our structured literacy lessons, students will use these resources to strengthen their letter-sound knowledge, decode unfamiliar words, and develop the foundational skills needed for fluent reading. The whiteboards make it easy for students to practice repeatedly, learn from mistakes, and demonstrate their understanding, while the dividers help minimize distractions and keep them engaged. Our next step is to build on these skills through increasingly challenging word-reading activities and continued practice. What makes my students special is their perseverance. They continue to show up, try their best, and make progress every day. Thanks to our generous donors, we can provide the tools and supportive learning environment they need to grow as confident, independent readers.","fullyFundedDate":1778514816673,"projectUrl":"project/write-wipe-read-building-strong-reade/10240407/","projectTitle":"Write, Wipe, Read: Building Strong Readers Every Day!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reyes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp397847_orig.jpg?crop=1158,1158,x0,y316&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686011159903","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/y-reyes"},{"teacherId":1879125,"projectId":10227976,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in funding our classroom's MacBook Neo!
