It's helped generate a lot of creative art work. The students have been engaged in so many hands-on activities with all of the tools requested. \r\n\r\nWithout realizing it, and even with some occasional struggle, I have witnessed their fine motor skills improving on a daily basis. Many students have shared that it is their first time trying some of these materials. For example, when we broke open the metallic markers, they practically raced each other to the boxes to grab their favorite color, adding beautiful swirling details to their projects. \"Woah, wow\" were frequent reactions. We were also able to share our ink stamp pads with both siblings and parents when we had a \"leave your mark\" mini-mural activity during our open house event in September. Attendance and energy were at an all-time high this year!\r\n\r\nWe have been able to really expand the exposure our students have had to so many more art materials than ever before. It has been inspiring to watch their wonder and enthusiasm blossom. \r\n\r\nThank you for fulfilling this project. Your donations have opened up the creative spirits of these students in ways that are hard to fully describe, and have made a tremendous difference. This could not have happened without you.","fullyFundedDate":1755706449966,"projectUrl":"project/my-students-are-all-thumbs/9513237/","projectTitle":"My Students Are All Thumbs!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Regina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1823993_orig.jpg?crop=1493,1493,x0,y398&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722734600581","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1823993"},{"teacherId":1823993,"projectId":8549299,"letterContent":"Because of your donations to this project, my third grade students were able to use the special headphones to record themselves telling stories into an online document. They were so excited to watch the words appear on the screen after speaking into the headphones - a first in our classroom! It took away a roadblock that often happened when they had a great idea but just couldn't get words written onto paper. Using the dictionaries was a great added tool giving the multilingual learners greater access and freedom to communicate in a way they had not had before.\r\n\r\nNone of this could have happened without your generous donations - thank you cannot even truly express the gratitude and terrific feeling I experienced watching my students open up in such new and creative ways. \r\n\r\nYou have made a huge difference!","fullyFundedDate":1723649574728,"projectUrl":"project/the-wondrous-world-of-words-is-waiting-f/8549299/","projectTitle":"The Wondrous World of Words is Waiting for My Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Regina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1823993_orig.jpg?crop=1493,1493,x0,y398&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722734600581","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1823993"},{"teacherId":9574375,"projectId":9064337,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my positive affirmation project for my classroom. This project has helped my students have the opportunity to take home their own positive affirmation to reflect on everyday. \r\nMy students saw as all of the boxes came in, getting more and more excited as I opened each box and put them aside for future use. Well that day finally came and can I say the students were so excited to have the opportunity to choose a color and paint the canvas. They were able to build curiosity as they waited to see their final product, which is still in the works. As all of the vinyl needs to be cut and weeded which is Mrs. Schembari's final steps of this project. \r\nI am excited to be able to reuse any extra materials like paint, paint brushes etc for future projects. This one was such a hit that I may do it again next year and if I do the majority of the supplies have already been purchased from amazing donors like you. Thank you for giving my students the gift of being able to be creative as well as build their positive thoughts about themselves as we get ready for summer.","fullyFundedDate":1738768683998,"projectUrl":"project/positive-affirmations/9064337/","projectTitle":"Positive Affirmations","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schembari","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9574375_orig.png?crop=498,498,x0,y49&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736976302360","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9574375"},{"teacherId":1024423,"projectId":9021162,"letterContent":"Thank YOU! Your generous donation has expanded our Social Emotional library. We adopted a SEL curriculum this year as a school wide initiative. The program covers a variety of topics however it did not include any read alouds. My first graders LOVE hearing stories. They make wonderful connections when characters are relatable, funny, endearing and engaging. I was able to find many titles to target the social emotional topics we were discussing. At early elementary age, we are looking to promote mindfulness and identifying feelings especially the BIG ones that make us react in so many different ways. \r\n We use these new book titles with whole group, small group, individual and partner reading opportunities. Students re-read and explore the different titles when they spend time in the quiet space, process big feelings with a teacher or social worker. The books have been a wonderful addition to our social emotional learning.","fullyFundedDate":1735657662025,"projectUrl":"project/ive-got-this-i-know-my-emotions/9021162/","projectTitle":"I've Got This!

As the lead teacher in the room, I am able to demonstrate and provide practice opportunities for very specific pre-reading and reading skills.\r\n The students were so excited to unwrap the tools and jump into exploring them. Hands-on exploration reinvigorated the students into their skills. We had been just moving through the daily motions but having a chance to practice these same skills with new materials has given the students motivation to increase their practice. We have seen a more steady growth during our monthly skills assessments including letter naming and sound production, short vowel CVC word decoding, blends and digraph word decoding. I am excited to hear them put all these skills together turning their word reading, into sentence reading, into whole book reading!
