We are also grateful for the sticky notes for multiple reasons. Students are using them when writing to spell a word independently, then bringing it to me to check. I notice they are spelling more correctly and using words they weren't even trying before. The sticky notes also make it easy for students to label visual charts, such as when we study the regions of California or learn about the life cycle of apples. The thin whiteboard markers and lined whiteboards have further supported our writing and math practice. The markers help students write neatly and confidently, while the lined boards provide structure as they solve problems and draft sentences. \r\n\r\nAltogether, these supplies have guided our learning and reminded us how fortunate we are for the generous people who support our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758810621051,"projectUrl":"project/writing-wizards/9754643/","projectTitle":"Writing Wizards","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. DeLong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4931420_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516753387510","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-d-delong"},{"teacherId":3213661,"projectId":9839598,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project, The Basics.
