They allowed us to have a great start to the year.\r\n\r\nWe use the marker boxes daily for students to keep individual supplies at hand. Inside they can keep a set of crayons and markers along with pencils. This allows them to quickly find supplies to complete work through out the day. It also allows them to carry their supplies to a different table when we work in small groups or they work with a partner.\r\n\r\nThe tablet paper is use for daily messages to the class. I write a note to the class each day to read during morning meeting with the date and information about the day. Each message ends with a question prompt for kids to \"vote\" on an answer or to discuss and make a list. At the end of the day I roll up the note and the helper of the day gets to take it home. I have heard from many parents that the kids are proud to bring these notes home and often want to hang them up in their rooms. \r\n\r\nYour donation helped my students get the supplies they needed to be more independent and carry their learning home. Thanks again for your help.","fullyFundedDate":1755702597488,"projectUrl":"project/lets-start-the-school-year-right/9332857/","projectTitle":"Let's Start the School Year Right!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McDaniel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8836512_orig.jpg?crop=1322,1322,x0,y61&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1667945843820","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8836512"},{"teacherId":3561099,"projectId":9331412,"letterContent":"These materials have been an absolute blessing in my classroom.

It helps kiddos learn to match shapes and sort, works on hand eye coordination, and how to persist when tasks get challenging. \r\nOne of the other new favorites has been a little electronic dinosaur. It is absolutely adorable. There are a few touch points that makes him respond to the user. It makes a noise, has wheels and will roll around on the tray for the student to track.

I even have 4th grade students wanting to borrow from the Avatar series. The fact that my students with reading difficulties are able to follow the pictures in the Avatar graphic novels and spend time decoding the text is wonderful. They feel like they can pick up an awesome book and not be intimidated by all the reading. The Dragon Girl books are a perfect step up into chapter books. They have larger print and are a quicker read than many chapter books. Both book sets are helping my students transition into chapter books for these reasons, but the best part is the topic is something students this age love to read about. \r\n \r\nThank you so much for your contribution to my classroom!
