My students have already begun using the Jumbo Magnetic Money, Time and Money Charts, Magnetic Number Line, and Multiplication Posters, and they have quickly become some of the most high-traffic tools in our room.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic money has been especially powerful during our recent fractions and decimal lessons. During math this month, students worked to create fractions of a dollar. The jumbo jumbo coins and bills helped students see this concept more clearly. Students who previously struggled to identify coins were suddenly excitedly explaining their thinking and comparing different ways to make the same amount.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these tools will continue to support our upcoming units on multi-step money word problems, multiplication strategies, and number relationships. Students will use the number line to help visualize adding and subtracting across larger numbers, and the multiplication posters will serve as daily visual supports during fact fluency practice. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students access to visual, concrete tools that make abstract math concepts come alive. Because of your kindness, my students are becoming more confident mathematicians who can connect what they learn to the real world.","fullyFundedDate":1754705384171,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-tools-for-financial-literacy/9541798/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Tools for Financial Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Allen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9256873_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754419341457","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9256873"},{"teacherId":9256873,"projectId":9541016,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom project! My students and I are absolutely thrilled to be using the new Geometry Visual Guide Set and the Daisy Stackable Stools. These resources are already making a meaningful difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe geometry guides have become a daily tool in our math block. Students use them during independent work, small-group instruction, and even during collaborative problem-solving tasks. Instead of waiting for teacher support or feeling stuck, students are able to confidently use the guide as a reference, exactly what I had hoped for.\r\n\r\nThe stools have transformed our small-group space. We can now comfortably fit more students at the table without feeling crowded, which has allowed me to pull diverse groups for targeted reading and math instruction. The stools came already assembled and are amazing quality. Several students said things like, \"Wow we can all fit!\" Their excitement reminded me how much the environment impacts their engagement.\r\nAs we continue into upcoming units, these materials will support students through more complex geometry concepts, multi-step problem-solving, and deeper discussions in both math and English Language Arts. \r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped create a more supportive, flexible, and engaging classroom, one where students feel confident, included, and excited to learn. We are truly grateful.\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and in my students.

Many couldn't believe that these beautiful, brand-new books were for them! They were eager to dive right in and began asking to read during free time, which made my teacher heart so happy.\r\n\r\nNext, we're using the books to launch our \"Readers Recommend\" project, where students will write and share short book reviews to help their classmates discover new favorites.

My students love to complete task cards during their independent work time because it gives them the opportunity to learn through movement. They are always begging for more task card activities! My students are also enjoying using the new pens as a reward for exceeding expectations and as a motivational tool to encourage them to revise and edit their writing. \r\n\r\nIn April, our class will begin an exploration of many impactful individuals with a variety of diverse backgrounds and experiences to learn from. My students will use the biography books to complete their research of these individuals and to grow their note taking and paraphrasing skills. Students will then use their research to write a biographical essay and complete a lap desk project which they will present to other classes as a culminating activity.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for your donations and your generosity.

By integrating routines, norms, and academic content into this structured start, we ensure a positive and focused launch to every learning day.\r\n\r\nEquitable Access & Math Achievement\r\n\r\nThe provision of individualized math toolkits ensures that concrete support is readily available to every student. This accessibility has empowered students to develop metacognitive skills, enabling them to recognize their need for support and self-advocate for the necessary tools. Not only do these tools make abstract math concepts concrete, but they also significantly streamline lessons and transitions. By minimizing the time spent on material distribution and organization, instructional focus remains squarely on challenging math content, directly supporting student success and pride in their developing mathematical abilities.","fullyFundedDate":1754884621102,"projectUrl":"project/positive-morning-meeting-and-math-tool-k/9568677/","projectTitle":"Positive Morning Meeting and Math Tool Kits","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lowrimore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10165925"},{"teacherId":6403583,"projectId":9626042,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our classroom to help make it an even better place for learning.

We use our binders to track our learning, so having a place to store and receive them that actually works, has been really fantastic. \r\n Secondly, with your help I was able to purchase even more things for our morning soft starts. We are on a mission to have students on their computers less and interacting with each other more. While computers are so helpful for our learning and their continued growth, being able to play hands on games and stem activities is amazing.

Then they were able to use them to start practing writing letters.\r\nI also had several kids that came to me already reading this year. The cvc word picture match game and the cvc sentence match games were perfect for them to use to independently practice reading during center time without a lot of time spent teaching them the center. They were easily able to figure it out and use it.\r\nStudents loves the real mini objects to practice first sounds with during small groups with para. Hearing the first sound in a word is one of the first skills we work on and some kids really thrive when they are able to physically see and maniupulate objects while working on the skill.\r\nAll of the materials will be such a help for my student and me this year.
