The kids eyes light up, the energy increases, and the magic begins.\r\nThe books that I received in this package will not only celebrate literacy, but support our emotional learning. First grade is a challenging year with a lot of expectations. Many are afraid of making mistakes, struggle with friendships and belonging, or are challenged with executive functioning tasks. These books help to support those challenges and allow talking points for expectations.\r\nThank you for making the magic come alive in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762267654763,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-school-in-style/9555296/","projectTitle":"Back to School In Style!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wiedel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4958542_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534194545917","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4958542"},{"teacherId":9268697,"projectId":9588790,"letterContent":"On behalf of my 7th-grade math and science students, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of vertical erasable surfaces for our classroom. \r\n\r\nThe students were very excited about the surfaces to work on. They love to do rotations and work around the room. We are currently learning about biological structure and function. Here we are discussing how everything has a structure which dictates its function. We are investigating the different structures of worms, mice and humans. Then comparing how those structures dictate what they look like and how they act. \r\n\r\nThis form of learning-\r\n\r\nReduces Anxiety: Erasable surfaces lower the \"cost of failure.\"\r\nIncreases Visibility: As a teacher, I can see every student's progress at a glance from across the room.\r\nCollaboration: Standing promotes more active discussion than sitting side-by-side.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn a middle school setting, engagement is everything. These vertical tools allow our students to stand, move, and collaborate in ways that traditional desks simply don't support. In Math, we are using them for \"Vertical Non-Permanent Surface\" work, which encourages students to take risks with complex problem-solving because they know an error is just a swipe away. In Science, these boards have become hubs for sketching models, tracking experimental data, and brainstorming hypotheses in real-time.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has done more than just provide supplies; it has helped create a dynamic, \"thinking\" classroom where every student feels empowered to participate. It is inspiring for my students to know that there are community members invested in their success.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and for making a tangible difference in our daily learning.","fullyFundedDate":1764686550899,"projectUrl":"project/vertical-standing-erasable-work/9588790/","projectTitle":"Vertical, Standing, Erasable Work","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9268697"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_128811","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":337,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":26,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":81.8,"schoolId":128811,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sleeping Giant School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sleeping Giant School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/steamboat-springs-sd-re-2/sleeping-giant-elementary-school/128811"}
