These culturally responsive stories also help students think about kindness and friendship by seeing the world from different points of view.\r\n\r\nIt's been amazing to watch my students grow as readers!

Because of you, our classroom will be better organized and more supportive for our students.\r\n\r\nWith the clipboard holders, drawer carts, 3-tier cart, whiteboard marker organizer, and poly zipper pouches you helped provide, we'll be able to create a more efficient, student-friendly space. These simple tools will make a big difference in how smoothly our day runs — helping students stay focused and take ownership of their materials. And for me, having the whiteboard markers all in one place (instead of searching all over!) is going to be a huge help.\r\n\r\nSome of the original items were out of stock, which gave us the opportunity to add a few other awesome classroom tools. We were able to get a copy of I Promise by LeBron James — a class favorite — along with an iPad arm to help with instruction, post-its for student responses, foam dice for learning games, and fun classroom stamps to celebrate student effort and progress.\r\n\r\nWe are also incredibly grateful for the social-emotional learning tools and sensory materials. These resources will support our students' emotional well-being and give them tools to manage stress, stay focused, and feel calm and confident throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThanks again for believing in our classroom and supporting our students. Your generosity truly means the world to us, and we can't wait to put all of these new materials to good use!","fullyFundedDate":1742936561406,"projectUrl":"project/getting-comfy-cozy-and-organized/9007887/","projectTitle":"Getting Comfy, Cozy, and Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Maylard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9716224_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727753369937","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-maylard"},{"teacherId":8197999,"projectId":9057722,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to my classroom's new color printer. My students benefit so much by seeing realistic colors on our activities, rather than black and white. I already remade my Pattern Linker Cube activity cards, (which where previously colored by hand.) My sorting lesson was so much easier when we saw the colors of the objects! Next I'm going to cut out this ice cream uppercase and lowercase letter sorting game so I can laminate and create a matching activity. I also printed out new nametags that included student's names and pictures on them for our writing center to help with their letter formation and handwriting. \r\nMy classroom is bright and colorful, which makes it so engaging.

I haven't had a chance ti use the Engraving Tip yet but Im so excited to do so.The Extra Fine Point Pens are so cool. Still figuring it all out but its so nice to have everything look so uniform! The Cricut Vinyl, Glitter Heat Transfer vinyl, Holographic Vinyl is so cool and so fun to use The creativity option are endless! The Rubber Roller is so great! I love having it because it makes me feel better about everything being pushed down on the mat so it wont move during the cutting process. The Craft Cart Organizer Table is fantastic too! It is so helpful and keeps thing so organized, I love it!\r\n\r\nI haven't been able to hang up the Wall Mounted Kraft Paper Roll yet. I think that is going to be something new for next school year.

Upon opening our shipping box, there were so many \"Ohhhs and Ahhhs,\" \"and \"When can I read those books?\" They were so excited to get to \"check out\" the new books and \"borrow\" them for their book boxes at their desks. We now have enough graphic novels for any student to read them at any time! Students are excited for independent reading time and love to visit the classroom library to select books. With the clear bins, they can easily find what they need and help return books to their rightful place. \r\n\r\nEach afternoon, we have been reading chapters of The Wild Robot. They are excited to listen to the read aloud and anticipate what will happen next. It is their favorite part of the day!
