Because of your donations, our students are discussing math and playing with math and really enjoying math every day. They are using all the tools you donated and learning so much from them.\r\n\r\nSomething that they're really excited about is that I am letting them print out pictures of them playing math games with their friends. I am also taking pictures of them doing math for them to bring home to their families. I personally am really enjoying being able to print out in color because it really helps with things like long division.\r\n\r\nWith math being seen in color and played in games, our students are going to sore with their math knowledge.

Having a copy of each book for every student would allow us to read together, participate in discussions, and build important literacy skills such as comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and critical thinking. These engaging novels would also encourage students to develop a love of reading while exploring themes such as friendship, perseverance, courage, and making positive choices.\r\n\r\nThe pencil boxes would give students a dedicated place to keep their pencils and other essential supplies organized and ready to use. This would help reduce distractions and lost materials, allowing students to spend more time focused on learning. Together, these resources would create a more organized, engaging, and supportive classroom where students have the tools they need to participate confidently and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1785436154929,"projectUrl":"project/we-need-books/10298740/","projectTitle":"We Need Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Yeager","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp796755_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1603210223132","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/benitamanning"},{"teacherId":8805655,"projectId":10275963,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations to our first grade class!

We use the Lysol wipes a few times a week on our tables to help us stay healthy as we get into cold and flu season.
