Students are visual learners when they see their work and are able to work it out beforehand. This saves on mistakes on their regular homework, and classwork.

The materials have arrived and we're already putting them to use. Already, we're seeing a cleaner classroom that functions much more efficiently, giving us a much better learning environment.\r\n\r\nOur polos are now neatly organized in the cabinets, and it will be much easier to distribute/collect them for performances, making concert days a little easier for all of us. Our daily rehearsals are going to run much more smoothly with our folder cabinets, as well! As you can see in the picture, one of the bands has begun to use it, and the other will start the next time I see them.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for believing in Carnegie Band!

It makes it much more entertaining to complete when the pages are colorful!\r\nThe multiple reasons the trampoline is such a game changer is it provides not only incredible brain breaks for physical activity, it makes learning so much fun! Students jump while counting by 1's, 5's or 10's, along with spelling sight words etc. It provides a tool for daily crossing the mid line, which is critical for literacy development. The left right brain connections helps strengthen the neural connections between the two hemispheres of the brain, which is essential for developing important cognitive skills like reading, writing, math, and problem-solving, all of which heavily rely on coordinated movement between the left and right sides of the body; essentially, it allows children to effectively use both sides of their brain together. The students were all hugging each other and jumping up and down literally when they saw all of our new supplies! We have created many projects with our paper supplies, and will continue to through the school year! This is such a gift and we cannot thank you enough!","fullyFundedDate":1742423694746,"projectUrl":"project/body-and-mind-connection-for-gifted-kind/9038100/","projectTitle":"Body and Mind Connection for Gifted Kindergarten!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Massey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2801772_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736364557960","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2801772"},{"teacherId":1544876,"projectId":8850094,"letterContent":"My students are now developing a love for reading.
