These supplies are \"basics\" but they are so appreciated and make a big difference in our daily lives in the classroom!\r\n\r\nIt is wonderful to have cleaning supplies to keep all of our surfaces clean on a regular basis. The classroom is more welcoming as a learning space when I have the tools to keep tables, countertops, and shelves clean. And those tissues are already in use! With so many students coming to music classes each day, I'm happy to have a supply of tissues on hand to minimize the spreading of any cold and flu germs that might be circulating. The copy paper, pencils, and fine tip permanent markers will be put to use very soon as I prepare copies of songs for the students to learn to play on their recorders. It's really important to develop music literacy in reading rhythms and staff notation while they learn to play recorder, and we will definitely be using paper copies so the students can write on the music and take their papers home to practice between music classes. They are so proud to be able to play several songs, and to be able to read the notes, too!\r\n\r\nThank you for providing these supplies to start off the school year!","fullyFundedDate":1787141521792,"projectUrl":"project/beginning-with-the-basics/10488862/","projectTitle":"Beginning with the Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shea","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2530326_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1511199389816","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bonnie-shea"},{"teacherId":1846402,"projectId":10136440,"letterContent":"We are so very thankful for the missing wedge that you helped donate to our classroom.

Now that we have just this one more, the wiggly kids don't result in wiggly desks. They can enjoy the wobble stools that are at that table and no longer need to switch those out.

Having enough stools available has made a tremendous difference in our classroom. Students were able to move and regroup with ease, and during several end-of-year partner projects, the ability to transition between table groups without moving heavy furniture was invaluable. Additionally, several students benefited from the wobble stools as a sensory support, which increased their ability to remain engaged and work successfully with partners.\r\n\r\nThe games have also been a wonderful addition to our classroom. Some, such as Pictionary, became engaging whole-class activities. Others found a home in our classroom game cupboard, where students independently learned the rules, collaborated to build understanding, and enjoyed games such as Clue and Battleship. It was rewarding to watch them develop communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills through play. I am excited to continue incorporating these games into our classroom culture next year.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has had a meaningful impact on my students' learning experiences. Without your support, opportunities like these would not be possible. As a teacher, my classroom budget is often directed toward essential supplies, materials, and student needs.
