Let's Get Fit!\"\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited when they walked into the classroom to see all the new STEAM building materials. It felt so good to see their faces when they got to use these materials and tools for the first time. Students love having free choice/ Makers Space Time where they get to explore with the different materials, especially being able to use the various magnetic and hands on tools where they can build all kinds of buildings and see their creations come to life.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue to use the materials to be engaged in learning and to enhance our learning environment. It is wonderful to have a variety of materials for my students to explore and work with. They deserve it!\r\n\r\nFluency and Fitness has enabled our classroom to have fun practicing skills that we're learning in class such as letter and number recognition, reading sight words, blending, and making combinations of ten! Each video is only a few minutes long and is broken up by fun opportunities to do different movements like jumping jacks, sit ups, the robot, etc.\r\n\r\nThis program is a game changer, and I am so thankful that my students have the opportunity to take it on this year with such enthusiasm and excitement.

Your generous donation provided our classroom with books that allowed students to explore earthquakes and one of the most significant events in the history of the city they call home—the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.\r\n\r\nThrough Magic Tree House: Earthquake in the Early Morning, I Survived: The San Francisco Earthquake, 1906, Keeper of the Light, and TIME for Kids: Earthquakes, my students were able to experience this topic through a variety of engaging texts. The combination of historical stories and informational texts helped students build background knowledge about earthquakes while also imagining what it may have been like to be a child living in San Francisco in 1906.\r\n\r\nThese books sparked wonderful conversations in our classroom. Students were especially excited to recognize familiar places and make connections between the San Francisco they know today and the city they were reading about. Instead of history feeling like something that happened far away, students began to understand that important historical events happened right here in their own community.\r\n\r\nThe books also gave us opportunities to strengthen important third-grade literacy skills. Students practiced identifying key details, comparing information across texts, using evidence to support their thinking, learning new vocabulary, and distinguishing between fictional stories and factual information. Reading several books about the same topic allowed students to deepen their understanding with each new text and make connections across our learning.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these books helped nurture my students' curiosity about their own city. They learned not only about the destruction caused by the 1906 earthquake and fires, but also about resilience, rebuilding, and how San Francisco has changed over time. Seeing students become excited about the history of their own community has been one of the most meaningful outcomes of this project.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the opportunity to become readers, researchers, and young San Francisco historians. Your generosity provided much more than books—it gave my students a way to connect what they learn in the classroom to the world right outside our door. We are incredibly grateful for your support of our classroom and our learning!","fullyFundedDate":1773539320664,"projectUrl":"project/the-day-the-earth-shook-exploring-the-1/10147372/","projectTitle":"The Day the Earth Shook: Exploring the 1906 Earthquake","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Inouye","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9224752_orig.jpg?crop=2100,2100,x0,y203&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723052443796","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9224752"},{"teacherId":9500402,"projectId":9651341,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my DonorsChoose project, \"Play, Regulate, Communicate: Building Speech and Language via Play.\" Because of your generosity, my mostly autistic students now have engaging, play-based materials that support communication, self-regulation, and social connection.\r\n\r\nThese materials have had an immediate impact on learning. Through guided play, students are practicing expressive and receptive language, turn-taking, and emotional regulation in ways that feel safe and motivating.

The materials allowed me to create more individualized, meaningful lessons and celebrate small but powerful communication successes every day.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped create a learning space where students feel confident, supported, and capable of expressing themselves.
