These binders serve as a clear, transparent window directly into our classroom content. Parents no longer have to wonder what their child is learning or what topics require extra attention. The systematic organization strengthens the parent-child connection around learning experiences by providing a clear framework for supportive, focused conversations about schoolwork. By increasing mutual awareness of the curriculum, we are building a more robust and effective teacher-parent partnership, where everyone is working together with the same clear goals for student success. This home-school alignment is an invaluable catalyst for achievement.","fullyFundedDate":1754361218613,"projectUrl":"project/home-learning-connection/9518890/","projectTitle":"Home Learning Connection","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zacarias","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9243126"},{"teacherId":9243126,"projectId":9493775,"letterContent":"Your support didn't just provide journals, it cemented the foundation for lifelong literacy.

In the past I was only able to provide them with 2 pencils per semester. Allowing them to have access to pre-sharpened pencils has saved a lot of time sharpening. Students now have pencils at their disposal and are ready to start the day. They are still learning how to use lead pencils but they love how easy it is to push down the lead. My students have shown so much ownership in their work and they strive to do better daily.

No one feels left out or is waiting for their peers to finish using the markers, since there is plenty of supplies. The markers have also been used to support their note taking and to differentiate instruction.

The weighed monkey is in the classroom library ready to be held by a student who are feeling sad and need comfort. The hooks hoops help children collaborate and take turns hoping in and out while at the same time counting the times they hop.
