Students practiced communicating, problem-solving, and compromising throughout this activity. All groups faced multiple challenges throughout the process and were so proud sharing their finished projects and how they were able to persevered at our showcase.

Right before Winter Break, we celebrated our classroom community by making a Winter Solstice soup in the style of Stone Soup. Each student brought in an ingredient to contribute to our soup. Everyone helped prep the ingredients by washing and slicing veggies and adding everything into broth. We were able to prep and cook our Stone Soup inside our classroom thanks to materials we got from this project. We had so much fun celebrating together! \r\n\r\nWe're looking forward to using more of the materials in this project in the second half of our school year together!","fullyFundedDate":1757640617755,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-our-5-senses/9567947/","projectTitle":"Engaging Our 5 Senses","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nuila","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7956331_orig.jpg?crop=1096,1096,x717,y571&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651039609740","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7956331"},{"teacherId":7956331,"projectId":9194082,"letterContent":"We opened this new school year reading Our Classroom is a Family to think about how we want to function as a classroom community.

Students have had to practice sharing ideas and listening to their peers' ideas, negotiating, practice taking turns, and working in close proximity with each other. These skills are then transferred to working together on more academic tasks together, so that we can help each other learn and grow! \r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous support!","fullyFundedDate":1752671672870,"projectUrl":"project/collaboration-play-together-learn-toge/9194082/","projectTitle":"Collaboration: Play Together, Learn Together","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nuila","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7956331_orig.jpg?crop=1096,1096,x717,y571&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651039609740","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7956331"},{"teacherId":9895748,"projectId":9302551,"letterContent":"Teachers and Students of Sanchez Elementary have been excited to have a plethora of organizational tools. Teachers have been taking bins, boxes and bags and setting them up with math tools, math games and paper supplies. Now that they are set up, teachers are teaching routines for students to get the tools or games they need all on their own. One teacher has ready made math centers in a certain spot and students know that when they are done with the math task, they turn in their work and can go take out a math center. These centers utilize bins and bags from this project! Having a designated math space and organizational materials that are easily accessible for students is now the norm for classrooms across our school.

During independent reading, I noticed a few students who usually have a hard time sitting still were able to stay engaged longer because the chairs gave them a way to move without distracting others. The pencil boxes have also made transitions so much smoother—students know exactly where their supplies are, which means we can spend more time learning and less time searching for materials.\r\n\r\nStudents were so excited! When the chairs arrived, I had a line of students asking if they could \"try one out\" right away. It was fun to see their faces light up as they realized these were just for them. With the pencil boxes, students were thrilled to have their own personal space for supplies—one even said, \"It feels like I finally have my own little desk toolbox!\"\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on collaborative group projects in science, and the new organization tools are helping so much. Each group can grab their pencil boxes quickly and settle into the activity without wasting time. The wobbly chairs are especially useful during group discussions, since they allow students who need movement to participate fully without disrupting their teammates. These resources are helping my students feel more comfortable, prepared, and ready to learn every day.","fullyFundedDate":1711330885904,"projectUrl":"project/small-group-seating/8274224/","projectTitle":"Small Group Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8631631_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x470,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1710900383495","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8631631"},{"teacherId":6503283,"projectId":9069445,"letterContent":"The students and teachers of Sanchez Elementary would like to thank you. Recently, a few of our literacy programs have moved to online. Students are able to play games that keep them engaged as they practice and reinforce skills they are learning in class. All of our classes received headphones to allow more students to access the online learning program at the same time. We also were able to use the headphones during state testing and our STEAM Fair event. Students love getting to choose the color of their headphones before they start their activity. \r\n\r\nThanks to you a few students and teachers at Sanchez Elementary also received brand new classroom bookshelves. You donating to this cause also ensured that learning spaces were organized and set up with new bookshelves at the start of the school year. The bookshelves and buckets are great ways for teachers to keep their student materials organized and easily accessible. \r\n\r\nWe all greatly appreciate your donating to help enhance our learning spaces.","fullyFundedDate":1737655639528,"projectUrl":"project/hear-ye-hear-ye/9069445/","projectTitle":"Hear Ye, Hear Ye!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Freeman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6503283"},{"teacherId":9900302,"projectId":9067539,"letterContent":"The students at SES love to draw. From fantasy creatures and dinosaurs, to their families and comic characters, to skyscrapers and cityscapes, they are eager to learn. With your gift of high-quality and culturally relevant tools, they are able to thrive and give full flight to their enthusiasm for creative expression.\r\n\r\nOur fourth and fifth grade artists began their personal artist's sketchbooks, and they began to work in them with advanced drawing tools, such as graphite sketching pencils and kneaded rubber erasers. Thanks to your gifts, they now have the tools to practice drawing techniques, build a portfolio of ideas, and express their thoughts, ideas, and feelings through drawing. Some students who had not been fully engaged really came alive when they had agency and ownership over their personal sketch books.\r\n\r\nWith your gift of multicultural crayons, pencils, and markers, all of our young artists can now ready represent themselves, their families, and their communities without the limitation of the standard selection of colors. On a recent self-portrait project with K-2 students, it was amazing to see them excitedly going through the crayons and matching them to their own skin tone. If students don't see themselves in the tools, they won't see themselves in art.
