Because of your generosity, our 8th grade classroom now has a paper cutter, boxes of bandages, and a case of hand sanitizer.\r\n\r\nThe paper cutter helps us prepare materials quickly and efficiently for lessons and projects. In a school that has historically run into paper shortages, I'm trying to conserve as much as possible. I'm also extremely concerned about student skill building so I am trying to keep a balance of physical work and tasks on paper with screen time for students. \r\n\r\nThe bandages and hand sanitizer help us keep students safe, healthy, and ready to learn each day. The valuable learning minutes saved by keeping students in the classroom is invaluable. A simple cart supplied with Band-Aids cuts down on nurse requests by over half. A bottle of hand sanitizer cuts down on bathroom requests. Both sound simple and meaningless, but it's teaching my students so many lessons. It teaches kids to create systems in their own lives for troubleshooting common challenges. If I model organization, routines and systems, students will begin to create their own. These supplies make a meaningful difference in our daily classroom routines and help students be more independent as they work through academic challenges in the classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your kindness and for investing in our students' learning environment. Thank you for helping us create a classroom where students can focus, grow, and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1767797154410,"projectUrl":"project/independent-historians-safe-clean-and/9751921/","projectTitle":"Independent Historians: Safe, Clean, and Self-Sufficient","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Buccheri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5263474_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1550691648976","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-buccheri"},{"teacherId":5263474,"projectId":9746447,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our DonorsChoose project. Because of you, our 8th grade classroom now has much-needed supplies, including a box of copy paper, cases of facial tissues, and containers of disinfecting wipes.\r\n\r\nThese items may seem simple, but they make a big difference in our daily learning environment. The copy paper helps us print assignments, activities, and resources that keep students engaged. I have created reusable materials, built unit resources, and have begun to construct a US Government and Civics resource binder for students to reference during our current unit of study. \r\n\r\nThe tissues and disinfecting wipes help us maintain a clean, healthy classroom where students can focus on learning. Cold and flu season is in full effect and having the resources to help my students become more self-sufficient and self-reliant as they get closer to high school is great. This is helping them take on more responsibility in the classroom and take pride in caring for our space. \r\n\r\nYour kindness and generosity directly impact our students each day.

The moment these books went out onto the shelf, they flew off the shelves within that day. There were a few holds for some of the kids who specifically requested them, so those are waiting to get picked up. It's always illuminating to see which books get picked first when there's a new set for students to read. I love having the students pick out books they want to read, and then sharing that love with another student in their class!

Just this morning, two students nearly slipped on a juice spill in the class.
