We have already put them to good use! I am able to teach from the standing desk where all students can see me clearly and move around the room with ease. I'm also glad that we have a new sharpener that students can use at any time. The little pouches are awesome because my students can keep their materials organized in one spot. The clock was way bigger than I expected, but it's still pretty great that students are able to tell time. The hangers are beneficial to have so that students can hang their jackets on the rack. The name tags are real nice and provide students with a visual of the alphabet and numbers.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for this project would be to continue to teach students about organization and personal responsibility.","fullyFundedDate":1746786030516,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-basics/9319628/","projectTitle":"Back to Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rodrigues","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9283646_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x320,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695320271126","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9283646"},{"teacherId":9402352,"projectId":8861140,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping to fund my project to improve student English proficiency through games and writing centers. \r\n\r\nMy students have had great success using the materials to gain confidence practicing their speaking and writing skills collaboratively.

Your contribution has made a significant difference in the way we approach our lessons and has had a direct, positive impact on our students' learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe resources you provided have been a huge hit with the students! They've been excited to engage with the new materials, particularly creating obstacle courses, which allow them to explore different pathways in dance—such as straight, curvy, and zig-zag. Through these activities, they are not only enhancing their dance skills but also developing important abilities like spatial awareness, balance, coordination, taking turns, and patience.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the calming resources, including the sensory bottles and sensory toys, have been incredibly beneficial. Many students have used them to relax and re-center themselves, enabling smoother transitions back into class. The sensory tent has also become a go-to space for those needing a brief break, providing a calm, quiet environment to recharge.\r\n\r\nIt is clear that these new resources have made a tremendous difference in our classroom, both for me as a teacher and for my students. Your generosity helps foster an environment where creativity, learning, and personal growth can flourish, and for that, we are truly grateful.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support of our dance program and the arts.

These spots help to organize the classroom, giving students a clear understanding of their own space for movement. The clock and timer have also proven invaluable, providing a structured time frame as students work on creating their own choreography. These tools have been instrumental in teaching students about time management and spatial awareness within the dance classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding aspects has been seeing the joy on my students' faces when they use the dance props. Throughout the year, they have utilized them during various units, such as freeze dance, exploring personal and general space, and even creating our own dance based on The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting the arts and for making such a positive impact on my elementary school students.
