Because of your generosity, our art studio has been transformed into a space where creativity truly has no limits. Having a steady supply of high-quality rulers, glue, and scissors has removed the barriers that often stall a project before it even begins.\r\n\r\nHow We're Using the Resources\r\nThe impact was immediate. Currently, our middle schoolers dove into a unit on linear perspective. Previously, we had to share a handful of worn-down rulers, but now every student has the tools they need to map out \"vanishing points\" and create complex skylines with precision. Meanwhile, our younger elementary students are using the new glue to paste fun features on their work!\r\n\r\nThe Big Reveal\r\nWhen the boxes arrived, the excitement was palpable! My students were genuinely touched that people they've never met cared enough to invest in their art. There is a newfound sense of pride in the room; they treat these materials with such respect because they know they were a gift from the community.","fullyFundedDate":1755446289812,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-success/9586262/","projectTitle":"Tools for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Aparicio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9808537_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y413&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755106441274","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-aparicio"},{"teacherId":1907402,"projectId":9689329,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for your incredible generosity!

I have been telling them to organize it specifically with the left side for unfinished work.

All of the new resources in my classroom have been very helpful in making progress towards students' reaching their goals. By the end of the year, my personal goal is for students to leave this school year reading something. Whether its identifying letters in the alphabet, reading a CVC word, a sentence, paragraph, or a story -- I am excited to see what they will be able to do. One resource in particular, The Letter Recognition Instant Learning Center has been helpful for students working on letter identification and practicing their letter formation. Additionally, Match & Sort Phonics Activities, have been helpful for small group/independent work to help students build their phonemic awareness and phonics skills. \r\n\r\nWe will continue to use the other writing, math, and classroom materials like wipe boards and timers, to help reach our goals and function within the classroom.
