All the materials in this project are used by our Kindergarten students daily. \r\nThe Jumbo Crayons are perfect for little hands in the beginning of the school year and last for some time. We use them to practice coloring, but also they are great for practicing our pre-writing skills! Same thing with the Ticonderoga My First pencils. The students need the small size to learn how to grip the pencil correctly. We use the copy paper so much because the first few months of Kindergarten the students are constantly need to practice various pencil/paper activities. They are also needing so much practice with all the new things they are learning.\r\nThe paper towels and wipes help keep our classroom clean as well as helping clean our hands before lunch. The Expo dry erase markers and erasers are used at our small group table for practice in all things phonics. \r\nThank you again for caring about our classroom and getting us the materials we need!","fullyFundedDate":1777997698219,"projectUrl":"project/great-start-in-kindergarten/10209138/","projectTitle":"Great Start in Kindergarten!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ontiveros","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp771586_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470607850918","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsontiveros"},{"teacherId":771586,"projectId":10209127,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity to fund this project!

They gathered around the packages, eager to touch and feel every new item. \r\n\r\nWe have been using these resources daily during our fine motor and writing rotations. Last week, one of my students who typically struggles with pencil grip and sensory fatigue picked up the textured tracing letter cards.

Seeing his confidence skyrocket as he comfortably completed his name for the very first time was an unforgettable milestone for all of us.\r\n\r\nYour generosity gave my students more than just supplies...you gave them joy, independence, and a hands-on path to learning.

The life-size Old Lady prop immediately captures students' attention and motivates them to participate in lessons. Students are excited to take turns feeding items to the Old Lady, retelling events from the story, answering questions, and practicing vocabulary in a meaningful and memorable way. What has been the most exciting is seeing students who are typically hesitant to participate become eager to join the activity and communicate with their peers. \r\n\r\nThe physical books have also made a tremendous difference. Previously, we often relied on online read-aloud, which could be distracting for some students. Having the books in hand allows students to focus on the story, interact with the pictures, turn pages, and stay engaged throughout the lesson. The combination of the books and the interactive prop has transformed story time into a hands-on, student-centered learning experience that supports language learning experience that supports language development, literacy, and social interaction.\r\n\r\nThese materials have been especially valuable for my students with diverse communication needs. Whether using spoken language, gestures, or AAC devices, students can actively participate in our language activities. The excitement and joy they show during these activities is a reminder that meaningful learning happens when students can engage, move, and interact with the content in ways that are accessible and fun.","fullyFundedDate":1769177685121,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-the-old-lady-to-life/9952081/","projectTitle":"Bringing the Old Lady to Life!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8193087_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1669107100546","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8193087"},{"teacherId":1182643,"projectId":10079292,"letterContent":"I am sincerely grateful for your gift of ink for our printer.
