One game is designed for my students who are below grade level. It helps them remember the CVC pattern words by having them write the word with a dry-erase marker. They are given picture clues to figure out the word. The second thing I did was to make another set of my sight words. Sight word fluency is essential at this grade level. I use these cards with all my class since they have to know them by the end of the year. I also use them when our grade mixes with other students, and I have the second language learner class. The students take turns running the words to improve automaticity. The last game is for a specific standard that we teach in second grade. This game is a fun way to introduce the standard and reinforce it throughout the year. \r\nMy students enjoy our \"games center\" when I have small groups. It is a time when they learn to socialize and cooperate while playing games. It reinforces concepts that I have taught so far. They look forward to going to this center daily. All of this is possible thanks to your generous donation.","fullyFundedDate":1747296723977,"projectUrl":"project/learning-fun-with-games/9332833/","projectTitle":"Learning Fun with Games!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Montana, NBCT","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1347783_orig.jpg?crop=1631,1631,x944,y120&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1553900997834","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lmontana"},{"teacherId":6355808,"projectId":9059604,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our project, \"Creating a Magical Reading Retreat With a Classroom Library Canopy.\" Because of you, our classroom now has a cozy, inviting reading space where students are excited to dive into books every single day!\r\n\r\nThe addition of the canopy has truly transformed our library area—it's no longer just a shelf of books, but a magical retreat where imaginations soar and stories come to life.

I want them to have all the resources to thrive academically and socially. Thanks to your generous donations, I was able to give them the supplies that they needed. While also making the classroom ecology more inviting.\r\n\r\nOnce I received all of the materials, I put them around a table and did a showcase. Students got to see every single resource that was donated. My students were surprised to find out that all the supplies they had gotten were donated by people that they didn't know. They were surprised to find out that someone out there acted as their guardian of learning. They were super thankful to know that they were being supported by people who only wished them well and to succeed. Even more, the only thing they sought in return was to see how they would use the supplies and materials.\r\n\r\nSince then, my students have continued to use all of the materials that have not been used up and they take care of them well. They want my future students to be able to also use them as well. It warms my heart to see how grateful they are for everything they can use thanks to your contribution to their learning. We have a few months left and I look forward to continuing to use the materials for as long as they last.\r\n\r\nThank you so much again and I hope you know how much of a difference you have made for them. Also, giving me hope that there are truly generous beings out there.","fullyFundedDate":1726769028934,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-supplies-classroom-supplies/8428209/","projectTitle":"Supplies!
