Since this project wasn't funded until the end of the year, and ordering had been paused for the summer, I wasn't able to use it to provide materials to motivate us to get to summer. What I WAS able to do was start making some new materials to go with our themes this year.\r\n\r\nDespite living in Florida, Fall is my favorite season. So, I always use it as a theme because it's fun and helps expose my students to some vocabulary and concepts they don't really get to experience in person. Having these visuals to reinforce the concepts we're learning helps students grasp them faster. And printing on cardstock then laminating them means I'll have them to use for years!","fullyFundedDate":1746494008733,"projectUrl":"project/motivation-to-get-to-summer-break/9193118/","projectTitle":"Motivation to Get to Summer Break!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jennifer's Speech Therapy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp910618_orig.jpg?crop=639,639,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1569515637005","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missjennifer"},{"teacherId":8549180,"projectId":9126956,"letterContent":"Thank you guys so much for the snacks!
