I love that this set includes all the events of balanced literacy. We are currently using the beginning of Kindergarten level centers like identifying letters and sounds, initial sounds, and rhyming words. Throughout the year I will be changing out the centers to meet the students current level. \r\n\r\nThank you again for all your support in our classroom.

I am still in awe that you selected my project to donate to. Your generosity provides so much more than classroom supplies, it gives me additional tools and resources to create a learning environment where my students can be engaged, motivated, organized, and excited to learn.\r\nThe quad-ruled composition books will be especially valuable during math. The graph paper helps students organize their work, line up numbers, draw models, represent fractions and place value, and clearly show their mathematical thinking. \r\nThe dry-erase markers, whiteboard cleaning spray, and sheet protectors will support our everyday learning routines. My students frequently use whiteboards and reusable materials to solve problems, practice skills, show their thinking, and receive immediate feedback. These supplies allow us to make learning more interactive while reducing paper waste.\r\nThe math posters will provide students with helpful visual references throughout the year. Having these important concepts displayed in the classroom gives students resources they can independently refer to when they need a reminder, want to check their thinking, or need a little extra confidence to keep going.\r\nThe class has also been particularly excited to see the red brick wallpaper go up in our classroom, and we all agree that it looks so much better with that special touch! I was able to get this as a replacement item since one of the items I originally ordered was not available and it has helped make our classroom feel more welcoming, colorful, and like a special place that belongs to us.\r\nThank you again for donating to my classroom. Please know that your donation is already making a meaningful difference, not only in the materials my students have available to them, but also in the environment where they learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1787792060143,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-success-with-classroom-essent/10427050/","projectTitle":"Supporting Success with Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rendón","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2301541_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x456,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1785541940541","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2301541"},{"teacherId":2301541,"projectId":10379300,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your generous support of my classroom.\r\n\r\nYour donation will help me recognize students for their hard work, perseverance, kindness, responsibility, and academic growth. It will also provide materials that allow students to actively participate in lessons, practice their skills, collaborate with classmates and have fun while learning. Many of these items help create a warm and inviting classroom, but they are extras that go beyond our regular school budget. Because of your generosity, I can provide my students with opportunities and experiences that might otherwise come out of my own pocket.\r\n\r\nWhat may seem like a small classroom item can make a big difference to a student. A reward can motivate a child to keep trying, while a hands-on activity or welcoming classroom environment can help students feel comfortable, valued and excited to come to school each day.\r\n\r\nThank you for making it possible for me to provide these special extras for my students and for helping me create a classroom where learning is engaging, rewarding and fun.","fullyFundedDate":1785430207312,"projectUrl":"project/spark-success-in-our-classroom/10379300/","projectTitle":"Spark Success in Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rendón","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2301541_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x456,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1785541940541","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2301541"},{"teacherId":2386903,"projectId":10246706,"letterContent":"My students have been using the cubbies for storing their class headphones and log-in badges for their learning app. It is right next to our ipad cart for convenience.
