It is hard to describe the radiant smiles on the children's faces when they arrived to see an alphabet carpet in our circle area of the classroom. Each of them started looking for the first letter of their name. \r\n\r\nAfter assembling the Sound tubs, our first activity used the first 4 letters we had been learning. With the items from the tubs dumped onto the sun in the middle of the carpet the children took turns choosing an object and named the item. Some of the children were able to identify the beginning letter sound and place the item in the correct alphabet tub. For those that were not able to recognize the sounds, friends in the group helped them to name and identify the sound that the item started with. \r\n\r\nWe look forward to additional activities that we can do to help us learn the letters and sounds as we continue our learning. Again, thank you for the ability to purchase items for our classroom that will not only make an impact in the current class but also classes in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1755804185625,"projectUrl":"project/touching-the-alphabet/9537144/","projectTitle":"Touching the Alphabet","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. \"Avis\" Eineder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3939032_orig.jpg?crop=910,910,x0,y127&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762347923146","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msavis"},{"teacherId":2669646,"projectId":9116784,"letterContent":"When my students helped me open the boxes for the project, it truly felt like Christmas morning. Their eyes were so big and many were jumping up and down clapping. I explained to them that they had many people who were cheering them on and donated all of the items so they could be more successful in school. My 2nd graders wanted to challenge my 4th graders in a math contest and seeing the pizza fraction game got them so excited to win the trophy cups which were also included in the project. They wanted to win a trophy for math and one for reading.\r\n\r\nAll of my students have goals for the year. By using decodable books, the word toss game, and the Elkonin boxes, students have resources that will motivate them to reach their goals. All of the items in the project are manipulatives that the students will be able to use and hold in their hands as they learn, which will make the learning more meaningful and fun for them. The Orton Gillingham \"I Can Fly Reading Program\" will help all of my students in grades 2-5. Not only will they have lessons during school, but it also provides learning tools for families when they take home assignments.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of all of my students, thank you for contributing to this project and helping me create leaders in literacy. My students are motivated to become leaders in the classroom, school and community.","fullyFundedDate":1740412943883,"projectUrl":"project/creating-leaders-in-literacy/9116784/","projectTitle":"Creating Leaders in Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lilley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2669646_orig.jpg?crop=817,817,x0,y49&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739800020466","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2669646"},{"teacherId":3939032,"projectId":9315259,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations. These puzzles have been the excitement in our classroom. The children have been learning how to see lines, colors, and pictures that have missing pieces and look for the pieces needed to complete the picture/puzzles. The children have been working together in small groups of two or three children to complete puzzles. It has made many of my student excited to pick a friend and a puzzle to work with. Opening up new puzzles have been the highlight of our center times. \r\n\r\nThe look on their faces as they complete the puzzle, and the communication between children when trying to find the correct piece to fill in blank spaces. Questioning what is missing in an area when there is only part of a picture shown on the piece. The children are learning how to problems solve, share and help each other, with big smiles upon completion. \r\n\r\nI look forward to working with my students that enter my classroom in the fall.","fullyFundedDate":1746495085203,"projectUrl":"project/getting-ready-to-read-through-floor-puzz/9315259/","projectTitle":"Getting Ready to Read Through Floor Puzzles","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. \"Avis\" Eineder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3939032_orig.jpg?crop=910,910,x0,y127&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762347923146","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msavis"},{"teacherId":9683116,"projectId":9138662,"letterContent":"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have my kids explore, create, and examine different possibilities.

Students have enjoyed reading informational text and creating projects about a specific topic in both reading and science.

One student said, \"This helps me think better!\" We've been rotating the seats so different students can benefit, especially those with ADHD or those who just need a little movement to stay on task.\r\n\r\nThe wobble seats have helped students get their wiggles out in a way that keeps them engaged and ready to learn.
