These books have been an incredibly useful addition to our classroom because they give my students opportunities to practice the phonics skills we are learning using real, engaging texts. My students love that they are not only practicing reading, but also learning interesting facts about the world around them.\r\nOne of the greatest benefits of these sets is the range of phonics skills they cover. My students are at different places in their reading development, and having books that progress from long vowels and digraphs to R-controlled and variant vowels and then to more advanced phonics concepts allows me to better match texts to individual students and small groups. Students can practice skills they are ready for while experiencing the success of reading a book independently.\r\nThank you for helping me give my students more opportunities to turn the phonics skills we practice each day into real reading. Seeing their confidence grow as they realize, \"I can read this!\" is one of the best parts of teaching first grade. Your generosity is helping my students become stronger, more confident readers!","fullyFundedDate":1788897056077,"projectUrl":"project/little-readers-big-discoveries/10427388/","projectTitle":"Little Readers, Big Discoveries!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moffitt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp551455_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1495291606045","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tara-moffitt"},{"teacherId":551455,"projectId":10260811,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping me make birthdays extra special in our classroom! My students absolutely love getting to be celebrated on their special day. When a student has a birthday, we light up our Happy Birthday sign and make sure they get a little extra attention throughout the day. They are so excited to choose their birthday goodies, wear their special birthday crown or bracelet, and take home a small bag of treats and surprises.\r\nIn first grade, the little things can mean so much. Seeing how proud and excited my students are when it is finally their birthday has been such a wonderful reminder of how important it is for every child to feel seen and celebrated. These materials have allowed me to create a birthday tradition that makes each student feel special without having to purchase everything myself year after year.\r\nThank you for helping bring these moments of joy into our classroom. Your generosity has given my students more than birthday treats—you have helped create happy memories and a classroom community where every child gets a day to feel extra special.

My students were so excited to see all of our new materials, and we have already put them to good use. The Elkonin box whiteboards and phonics manipulatives have quickly become an important part of our daily literacy routine. We use them to stretch out words, identify and manipulate sounds, and connect those sounds to letters as we build the foundational skills that will help my students learn to read.\r\n\r\nThe primary journals have also given each child a special place to begin telling their own stories, while the desktop nameplates provide helpful references that allow my students to work more independently. Even the new headsets are helping students focus as they work on individualized learning activities on their computers. It is wonderful to watch them become more confident and independent with each passing day.\r\n\r\nWe are just beginning our first-grade journey, and there is so much growth ahead of us! We will continue using these materials throughout the year as we move from hearing and manipulating sounds, to reading and spelling words, and eventually to reading and writing increasingly complex sentences and stories. Thank you for investing in my students and giving them resources that will be used again and again. Your generosity has helped us begin our year ready to learn, grow, and discover the magic of reading!","fullyFundedDate":1778543449131,"projectUrl":"project/ready-set-back-to-school/10249618/","projectTitle":"Ready, Set, Back to School!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moffitt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp551455_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1495291606045","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tara-moffitt"},{"teacherId":617037,"projectId":10084663,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of wobble chairs to our kindergarten classroom.

Your support has brought an incredible, hands-on learning experience to life for my students, and we are deeply grateful.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these resources, my students have been fully immersed in the process of learning about life cycles, animal care, and responsibility. One of our most meaningful classroom moments came during the hatching process itself. We carefully monitored the eggs each day, discussing embryo development and making predictions. When the first chick began to pip and eventually hatch, the room filled with excitement and awe. It was a powerful, real-time lesson in patience, biology, and the miracle of life.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has made a lasting impact—not just by providing materials, but by creating a memorable and meaningful learning journey for my students.
