These tools may seem simple, but in a classroom of young readers, they make a huge difference. The whisper phones allow students to actually hear themselves read, which helps them slow down, self-correct, and build confidence. The headphones have completely changed our independent learning time; students can now focus on their online reading and math programs without being distracted by classroom noise. Even my most easily-overwhelmed students stay calmer and more engaged.\r\n\r\nThe HP Sprocket photo printer has quickly become one of our favorite new additions. We use it to print pictures for writing projects, behavior incentives, and memory journals. Seeing their own photo printed instantly is incredibly motivating students feel proud and seen. The privacy folders have also helped tremendously; students are more focused during tests and independent work, and several told me they \"feel like real big kids\" when they use them. The ten-frames, highlighters, copy paper, and laminating pouches have already refreshed our math and reading centers, making them sturdier, brighter, and more inviting.\r\n\r\nThere are a few students who have especially connected with the new tools. One of my quieter readers now chooses a whisper phone every day because it helps her read with confidence. Another student who often struggled to stay focused now uses the privacy board and headphones together, and he has begun completing his work more independently. These materials are helping my students feel capable, supported, and excited about learning. Thank you for giving them opportunities that truly matter.","fullyFundedDate":1725922663012,"projectUrl":"project/mscruz-classroom/8736624/","projectTitle":"Ms.Cruz Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cruz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9567662_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753848666647","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9567662"},{"teacherId":9567662,"projectId":9515574,"letterContent":"When everything from this project arrived, my students reacted like it was Christmas morning. They immediately noticed the magnetic tiles and STEM building sets, and within minutes they were working together to build towers, cars, and little \"classrooms\" out of the pieces. One of my students who is often shy held up her creation and said, \"Look, Ms. Cruz! I made something all by myself!\" Watching them collaborate and use their imagination reminded me exactly why these materials matter so much in first grade.\r\n\r\nThe other supplies have already made a difference in our daily routines. The chair pockets helped organize our space right away students now have a place for their notebooks, center materials, and whiteboards, which reduced clutter and made transitions smoother. The dry erase pockets have become a class favorite because students love being able to redo their work without starting over. The phonics dominoes, ten-frame activities, counters, and greater/less-than gators have made our math and reading centers more hands-on and engaging. And the HP Sprocket photo printer has allowed me to print small photos for student portfolios, birthday displays, and memory journals, which the kids absolutely love.\r\n\r\nThese materials are helping my class stay organized, creative, and excited about learning. Our next step is to start a STEM Fridays routine where students rotate through magnetic tiles, magnetic rods and balls, and other hands-on stations so they can work together to build, problem-solve, and challenge themselves. Thank you for giving my students tools that support both their learning and their joy. Your generosity truly reaches every corner of our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762265393690,"projectUrl":"project/first-grade-class/9515574/","projectTitle":"First grade class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cruz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9567662_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753848666647","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9567662"},{"teacherId":9336303,"projectId":9888001,"letterContent":"Your support to our classroom and our students...and students yet to enter our classroom...deeply touches me, and you hold a very special place in my heart.♥️ Because of you, students will get the supplies needed to organize the notes and create long lasting study habits for the futures.

Students figure out what the problem is and make predictions as what will happen next. We stop and ask questions as well as find smilies, metaphors, and any foreshadows in the text. Once we finish the chapter, we discuss as to whether the problem was solved; if there was a resolution. \r\n\r\nSome of the jobs the students have in their Literature Circles are Imaginative Illustrator, Delightful Director, Word Wizard, Literary Luminator, Super Summarizer. The Imaginative Illustrator draws or creates a picture that relates to that day's reading. The Delightful Director makes a list of questions that will help their group discuss parts of the chapter.
