Sometimes new supplies can spark motivation. My favorite item from this project was the Happy Planner hole punch. I was able to add important documents and customize my teacher planner this year thanks to the specific hole punch. I also created student workbooks with the plastic disc that you can use with the punch as well. \r\nThe best brand of pencils are Ticonderoga in my opinion. The box of pretty, pastel, pre-sharpened pencils also made my day!

I try to keep my book collection fresh and diverse for my learners. This project helped do just that. Here are a few highlights from this project: \r\nGustavo, The Shy Ghost was a great read aloud for students around Halloween. It had a great storyline and colorful illustrations. My students practiced sequencing and were able to do do interactive lessons on their computers. My evaluation was also on this lesson and it was a great success. \r\nThe Young Teacher and the Great Serpent was a metaphor to a new teacher that had an outdoor classroom near a river that flooded. Students were able to connect to culture and communication struggles also expressed in this book. \r\nBuffalo Fluffalo was a cute rhyming story. My students giggled throughout and completed a step-by-step character drawing activity at the end. What a great lesson! \r\nThanks again for your donation!","fullyFundedDate":1730949978229,"projectUrl":"project/book-refresh/8841612/","projectTitle":"Book Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kinser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2097902_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1459904833248","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ashleekinser"},{"teacherId":2097902,"projectId":7483302,"letterContent":"This project was extremely helpful when I became a ESOL specific teacher. I needed new basics for my class. My students rely on the posters daily to review common english spelling patterns. Not to mention, my classroom looks more colorful and friendly now, an unspoken feeling between two cultures. \r\n\r\nThe best part of our daily routine is the read aloud. The first two days in my class are cultural read alouds. The \"Do You Speak Fish?\" is a new favorite in the ESOL classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your donation!

The best part of the read aloud was watching the students' faces light up when they finally realized that they had seen The Starry Night before. \r\nAnother part of this project that I didn't expect was the discussions based around some of the books included.

For all of our project based learning, they get to use all of their fun new STEAM kits. They love them and are so encouraged and excited to use their new tools. \r\nMy students started to freak out whenever they saw all of the packages arriving. We did a fun unveiling of the packages. I had 20 little kids screaming and jumping up and down. They went home and told their parents and siblings. Our whole school has been so excited to see everything that came in! \r\nI cannot wait to send yall a fun preview of some of the projects and fun learning we have been doing!

The new small group reading chairs have completely transformed our reading space. The moment our students saw them, their faces lit up — they couldn't wait to sit down, get comfortable, and dive into a good book. These chairs have made our reading area inviting and cozy, turning it into a favorite spot in our classroom.\r\n\r\nSince adding the chairs, I've noticed a big increase in engagement and participation during small group reading. Students are more eager to join discussions, take turns reading aloud, and share their thoughts about stories. Having a comfortable and dedicated space helps them stay focused and relaxed, which has made our small group time much more productive and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only provided new furniture but has created an environment where students feel valued and excited to learn.
