The new lamination machine and pouches are proving invaluable, letting us preserve and organize the small group instruction resources we meticulously create. This durability means we can build on materials year after year, saving time and ensuring consistency. The paper trays, binders, and Post-it tabs have further streamlined our organization, making resources easily accessible and improving our overall efficiency in a busy classroom.\r\n\r\nA recent highlight came during our fractions unit, where the Expo pens, markers, and easel pads allowed me to craft vibrant, step-by-step visual aids for each small group. It was wonderful to see students' engagement as concepts unfolded in front of them, with Post-it notes capturing their quick contributions. The standing computer stand has been a real game-changer, enabling me to move seamlessly between groups. This mobility is vital in our large class, ensuring every student receives focused, personalized attention without losing precious learning time to transitions. The students' excitement when they first saw the new materials was palpable; the crisp resources and fresh supplies clearly sparked their enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, your support will be crucial for our Tier 2 support for struggling readers. We'll utilize the durable laminated cards for consistent sight word and phonics practice. The Post-it notes will become a go-to tool for quick vocabulary checks and to help students track unfamiliar words, allowing for immediate, targeted feedback. Furthermore, the easel pads and markers will be essential for breaking down decoding strategies and modeling fluent reading right at their desks. This focused, visual approach empowers us to deliver more effective, individualized interventions, helping our struggling readers build essential skills and confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1742149503274,"projectUrl":"project/organizing-our-classroom-for-daily-produ/9172045/","projectTitle":"Organizing Our Classroom for Daily Productive Small Group Instruction","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Masina-Hadley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9369865_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y50&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741932728357","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kumumikala"},{"teacherId":9684217,"projectId":8806844,"letterContent":"Mahalo nui loa for your generous donation!

(Thank you so much Cavens Family!) Upon receiving the indoor aquaponic and hydroponic gardens the hāumana (students) were full of excitement! We shared and discussed as a class the different methods of food cultivation and ways farming can be/become more sustainable and regenerative. We also shared and related ideas of food cultivation to kuleana (gift of responsibility) and how we all can do our part to malama ʻaina (take care of the land) and be responsible stewards of the ʻaina (land) and natural systems. \r\n\r\nIn addition to the hydroponic and aquaponic indoor gardens; lettuce seeds and small gold fish have been provided to na kumu (teachers) and students of each grade level so they can begin to grow short term crops and food to be shared amongst one another. \r\n\r\nThe next steps are to continue to enrich and provide the haumana (students) not only with opportunities to prepare, cook and eat - mea ʻai pono (quality food) grow with their own hands; but with the \"real-life\" experience, knowledge and tools they'll need to be confident and successful as they grow.","fullyFundedDate":1733407953792,"projectUrl":"project/ma-ka-hana-ka-ike-mea-kkoo-ina-led/8928631/","projectTitle":"Ma Ka Hana Ka ʻIke Mea Kāko'o 'āina Led Education","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Makanui","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/papamala"},{"teacherId":9812293,"projectId":8896336,"letterContent":"Mahalo for your generous donations which helped us purchase books.
