These items help my students build hand-eye coordination while promoting teamwork and teaching them to take turns, encourage teammates, and keep a scorecard to track who wins each game. One of the favorites so far is bowling with pins and a ball. The students line up, wait their turn, and encourage each other to do their best. It is so fun to watch and to play. Another big winner is the scoop ball game. I am so impressed with how well the students are playing together. It absolutely brightens my day. Thank you for your generous gift to my class.

Watching my students rush to the shelves, clutch a story, and ask for a read-aloud reminded me why books are the greatest gift we can offer young learners. That spark is the heartbeat of our spontaneous DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) sessions. Without warning, we pause our day, grab a book, and dive in. What looks like a quiet fifteen-minute break is actually a rich, multi-layered workshop: we identify titles, authors, and illustrators, trace front-to-back structures, and notice how capital letters and punctuation anchor a sentence. Beneath all those embedded standards, though, the real magic is simpler—learning that a quiet corner and a good book belong to them.","fullyFundedDate":1791562740391,"projectUrl":"project/books-build-beautiful-brains/10685810/","projectTitle":"Books Build Beautiful Brains","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dawnell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9832581_orig.jpg?crop=471,471,x0,y67&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1788139455983","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9832581"},{"teacherId":9832581,"projectId":10639426,"letterContent":"Thank you for the amazing Professional Wooden Balance Board from Yes4All.

It is so much fun. The students are enjoying all kinds of activities with the stars, circles, and square mats. They work on patterning, color identification, and shape identification in a fun manner. We are going to use these mats for many games and activities, but this is what they did with them right after opening the packages. We have the ring toss game, which we are so excited to play.

These items provide much-needed movement to help them regulate their bodies and have so much fun with their peers. It seems all of the students want the rainbow color ribbons, so I would suggest to the manufacturer to add a few more rainbow colors to their assortment. With only having two rainbow color ribbons, students are learning skills of waiting their turn, asking for what they want, and being genuinely excited for a peer who received the coveted rainbow ribbon.
