These magazines are very engaging and the simple, predictive sequence in the magazine is helping my preschoolers learn concepts of print such as tracking left to right.\r\n\r\nScholastic uses topics that are typical themes for preschoolers. Some things we have read about so far include apples, fire safety and pumpkins. We get 2 magazines each month to explore. My students like to complete the tasks on the back of the magazine such as connect the dots, color a picture or match pictures. \r\n\r\nIncluded with this magazine subscription is an online platform for teachers and parents. Scholastic has short video clips to help teach vocabulary concepts. One video we watched at whole group time was a video about how pumpkins grow. It showed a time lapse view of a pumpkin growing. \r\nThank you once again for helping me to get this wonderful resources for my classroom. It's a great way for my students to show their families what they are learning about.","fullyFundedDate":1755715723585,"projectUrl":"project/preschoolers-love-scholastic-magazines/9562749/","projectTitle":"Preschoolers Love Scholastic Magazines","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hovis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1854476_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449104511841","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amy-hovis"},{"teacherId":1854476,"projectId":9171904,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for helping me to get this bench with storage bins and movement activities.

It's very sturdy and will last for many years to come. \r\n\r\nThe movement activities of scarves and ribbons are a hit during music and movement time. Scarves are something that I love to use to practice throwing and catching since they don't hurt if the catch isn't made. Flying scarves are also a fun sensory activity for my students. \r\n\r\nWe use the egg shakers during music time. They are a great beginning instrument to practice playing a beat. My students also use them during music and movement center. I put on classical music for my students to dance to or to play instruments with it. It's a fun independent activity for my students.

With your help I was able to get seasonal light covers for my classroom lights and cloud covers for the bathroom lights.

I'm sure my students also benefit from the reduced fluorescent lighting too. Thank you for helping to improve our health! \r\n\r\nI change the covers with each season change. Some students notice right away and ask why the trees are different. It's a great opportunity to talk about the change of seasons. It is also helpful since the season change from winter to spring happens later than when spring officially begins. The flowering trees is fun to see when it is snowy outside. \r\n\r\nI also got a lamp for our carpet time area. The lamp has a step button to turn it on and off. I made turning on the light for circle time into one of our classroom jobs. They love turning it on!
