Because of your kindness, our 1st-grade students have been learning and growing in exciting new ways.\r\n\r\nThis year, I've already seen a significant impact on my students. The interactive centers you helped fund have made a noticeable difference in their engagement and confidence—especially in reading and math. Sight word games and decoding activities have sparked new enthusiasm for reading, while hands-on math tools have helped students build number sense, fluency, and problem-solving skills. Even students who were hesitant at the start of the year are now jumping into activities with joy and curiosity.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1754943153418,"projectUrl":"project/kickstart-first-grade-fun-reading-mat/9512442/","projectTitle":"Kickstart First Grade Fun: Reading & Math in Action!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Morris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8613874_orig.jpg?crop=642,642,x0,y209&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722349182429","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/haileymorris"},{"teacherId":3044480,"projectId":9191773,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity!

The multi-subject notebooks have been organized to hold our mentor text inquiries, social emotional learning skills, and social studies content. They are so excited these notebooks also come with built-in pockets, what a perk! The rainbow scratch paper has unveiled so much creativity in our classroom and the scented bookmarks increase excitement over our new whole class novels!\r\n\r\nThese materials have helped our structured routines run smoothly and have truly brought so much joy into our classroom community.

Being able to take a step back and watch them increase in their confidence, use their voices, interact among our staff and also spread smiles has been the most amazing gift as a teacher. My students continue to talk about this experience and I know it will create a tradition for us to continue through the years. Watching them use the skills we have practiced, scanning orders, interacting with our staff with manners and some even sharing things we didn't practice but added because they were confident was the best to witness. These pictures I added are a snippet of the joy that was spread amongst our campus. We couldn't have done it without you!

When I told my kind-hearted fourth graders I would be writing to our donors for this project, a couple of students came up to me and explained they wanted to say thanks too. I asked them what they liked most about these new books and one boy said, \"I really like reading books about history. Some of these books are about stuff I have never even heard of. It is really important we learn from history.\" A girl in my class said, \"Some of these books share important lessons. They don't always treat us like little kids and I really like that.\" \r\n Our class has been utilizing these texts to facilitate important discussions and build empathy and understanding. As an educator, I know my lesson plans extend beyond academic target skills. I hope to support the development of critical thinkers and lifelong learners who advocate for themselves and others. These books are absolutely a step toward opening up windows to different perspectives and creating a more inclusive world. My students are extremely grateful for your donation and will continue to benefit from your gift for the remainder of the year and hopefully beyond. I thank you for allowing me to make the most of our precious school time with my young leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1741212195912,"projectUrl":"project/knowledge-is-power-texts-as-windows-and/9138573/","projectTitle":"Knowledge is Power- Texts as Windows and Mirrors","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brantley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3044480_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1451178426402","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-andrea-davis"},{"teacherId":8635745,"projectId":8531722,"letterContent":"The resources have been a wonder for my groups this year. The games provided much engagement and a way to challenge my students. They are also versatile so I can used them for several different grades by just adjusting the content. With the negative impression that mathematics has left on some students, presenting the work in a fun and competitive way has been a game changer. \r\n\r\nMy next steps are to continue using my current games in even more inventive ways and making sure that they maintain their lure as a preferred activity as best I can. This year so far has taught me a great deal about the bridge between learning and play and it is my utmost goal to make those two seem indistinguishable from one another as much as possible.","fullyFundedDate":1728583259624,"projectUrl":"project/count-us-in-memoirs-of-mathematicians/8531722/","projectTitle":"Count Us In!

Students have been talking about books more, encouraging interest in different series to their friends, and asking more questions about specific authors and plotlines.

Your contributions allowed us to create an incredible holiday experience for our students that celebrated literacy and brought joy to learning. During our holiday party, we held a White Elephant-style gift exchange where each student received a wrapped Hi-Lo book to take home and keep. For many, this was the first time they've had a book that truly matches both their reading level and maturity level.\r\n\r\nThese Hi-Lo books were especially transformative. Middle school students who often feel limited to \"little kid books\" because of their reading challenges were thrilled to discover engaging, exciting, and age-appropriate stories that they could actually enjoy. \r\n\r\nTo extend the impact beyond our classroom, we also provided families with a booklet based on the \"Four Resources Model.\" This resource is designed to guide parents and caregivers in supporting their child's literacy journey. It includes meaningful questions and activities that encourage higher-order thinking and help students build comprehension, decoding, and critical thinking skills. These materials ensure that the skills we're developing in class can grow even during breaks.\r\n\r\nThanks to the new books, students are experiencing the joy of reading in ways that many had not before.
