I just completed Parent/Teacher conferences and I had a parent express how grateful he/she was for the pencil case full of need supplies at home. The pencil sharpener was the hit. Never fails, the pencil breaks as soon as you use it and the erasers usually falls off the pencil. Therefore, having the pencil sharpener and an eraser is awesome. The multicolored pen and marker works great in writing the spelling words three different ways. Their child can write in pencil, pen, and marker, thanks to your donation. \r\nMy students had fun learning how to form letters, and making sounds of the letters with the Playdoh. Playdoh is easy to roll, make straight lines, and curves. We also used the Playdoh when we were adding and subtracting. This also help with their counting skills since they had to make balls for the larger number. The boys loved smashing the ball when we were subtracting numbers. \r\nThank you again for your donation. These simple supplies have help my students enhancing their learning process.","fullyFundedDate":1758928168567,"projectUrl":"project/shortage-of-basic-supplies-for-the-class/9750319/","projectTitle":"Shortage of Basic Supplies for the Classroom and Home","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Breit","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2450437_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533665844844","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/wendy-breit"},{"teacherId":2450437,"projectId":9520958,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom project for creating memories. \r\n\r\nWe have already started creating memories with the construction paper, black permanent markers, card stock and pens. With these items were create a picture of ourselves on card stock. We then cut ourselves out and pasted onto construction paper. We then took rectangular card stock pieces and wrote adjective s that describe ourselves. This was a great way to use adjectives that we had learned and express what adjectives pertain to ourselves. Of course, we need to clean our desk with the Lysol wipes that we also received. We use these daily, especially at the end of the day to kill germs and keep healthy. \r\n\r\nOur notebooks have been very handy to practice writing our alphabet and numbers. We used the highlighters to highlight our best letters. Further more to help us form our letters, we are using our dry erase markers to practice writing our sounds and spelling words. Mrs. Breit has dry erase pocket sleeves that has lined paper inside and we use for practicing. \r\n\r\nMy student will be grateful when I get the modeling clay and card stock later this year. With these supplies we will be creating our landforms and learn about the formation of caves. We will also be creating volcanoes with these supplies. \r\n\r\nThank you for donating and support to our supplies need to create these memories and many more.

Thank you! Thank you! I love sharing different cultures with my students, especially Lunar New Year. With your donations, I was able to give my students first-hand experiences and the opportunity to try things that they have not before. \r\n\r\nAs with any celebration, food is always important to share. With the Mandarin the students remembered that oranges were a symbol of good fortune and prosperity. Along with the oranges, I made sticky Japanese rice. We learned how to hold the chopsticks and tried eating the rice and dumplings with them. This was fun and entertaining at the same time. I had one student say that he would starve if he had to eat with chopsticks all the time. Everyone reminded him that it takes practice. By the end of the celebration, he was able to pickup a dumpling. \r\n\r\nWe also tried putting rice into the seaweed and rolling it up just like sushi. Some thought it tasted fishy so they put honey on the seaweed and the rice cakes. \r\n\r\nThank you for the gloves too! We have been hit with many snow storms and cold days, that these came in handy to help protect our hands from the cold. We had to change the date of our celebration a couple times because of weather. However, thanks to your donation to our classroom project so that I can help build awareness and respect for other cultures around us.","fullyFundedDate":1735498483317,"projectUrl":"project/year-of-the-snake-lunar-new-year-celebra/9020982/","projectTitle":"Year of the Snake-Lunar New Year Celebration","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Breit","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2450437_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533665844844","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/wendy-breit"},{"teacherId":2450437,"projectId":8952633,"letterContent":"Words cannot express how greatly we are for supporting our Lunar New Year project. It was so awesome to participate in some of the traditions. The students love receiving the red envelopes. Of course, they were expecting real money but received some school store money instead. They were just as excited. Now they are able to purchase things from the school store.\r\n\r\nSince it was the Year of the Snake, they loved the snake pattern the was on the red envelope. However, the snake slap bracelets were a big hit. Definitely a memento for them to remember this experience. \r\n\r\nAfter reading Amy WU, The Patchwork Dragon, they loved creating their own dragon. In Chinese culture, dragons symbolize power, good fortune, luck, and prosperity. We showed off our own dragon creations while enjoying fortune cookies. \r\n\r\nThank you for your support and for helping this celebration come to life.","fullyFundedDate":1733238700056,"projectUrl":"project/year-of-the-snake-celebration/8952633/","projectTitle":"Year of the Snake Celebration","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Breit","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2450437_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533665844844","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/wendy-breit"},{"teacherId":2450437,"projectId":8918469,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom project. Thanks to your kindness, I am able to supply some basic supplies for my students to use. Second graders are learning how to take of items like headphones and water bottles. However, headphones break, and water bottles are lost. Many parents cannot afford to replace these items. Thanks to your kindness and donation, I am able to replace the supplies that my student supplies every day at school. \r\n\r\nSocial Emotion Learning is very important in second grade. Many of us are still trying to learn how to communicate, play, work with other students, and not making fun of each other. Several of my students like to chew on their fingers, pencils and clothe. A basic social emotion supply that several parents cannot afford include sensory necklaces. These necklaces provide a discreet and socially acceptable outlet for sensory-seeking behaviors. Perfect for my students who suffers from anxiety in school and is constantly chewing. \r\n\r\nOne thing we learn in social emotional learning is to be kind to everyone. Thanks for the batteries, we created light-up Holiday cards for our parents and our school bus drivers. This activity also helped with learning about circuits and connections. \r\n\r\nFor nursing homes, the googly eyes helped us create Candy Cane Reindeers for the residents. We also made holiday cards to go with the candy cane reindeer. \r\n\r\nThe book Bully B.E.A.N.S. will be an activity that we will start when we return to school in January. The book, \"Bully B.E.A.N.S.\" will help my students identify bullying, and offers clear and impact action strategies for both targets and bystanders. The composition notebooks will give my students to express their feelings/emotions by writing or drawing or various writing prompts. We also use the composition notebooks to practice writing our alphabet in lower in upper case letters and alphabetical order. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your kindness and support. You are helping my students more than I can express with words.","fullyFundedDate":1731542071114,"projectUrl":"project/things-to-help-us-steam-ahead/8918469/","projectTitle":"Things to Help Us S.T.E.A.M Ahead","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Breit","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2450437_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533665844844","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/wendy-breit"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_29383","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":206,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":61,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"2 - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":31.3,"schoolId":29383,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Riverview Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Riverview Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/south-beloit-community-school-district-320/riverview-elementary-school/29383"}
