Putting chapter books into their hands has given them incentive to want to try again! I am currently running three books clubs using the books and the students are sad when we finish a book because they want to keep reading. One sweet girls said \"I never knew I would be smart enough to read a chapter book\" with the biggest smile on her face! Your gift has given hope to students who felt hopeless about reading. \r\n\r\nStudents are also thoroughly enjoying the math games. We have a time in our math block where we \"play to learn\" so these games have been unbelievably helpful! Not only are we strengthening their Fact Fluency, we are also teaching skills like how to lose and win gracefully.","fullyFundedDate":1757563938351,"projectUrl":"project/math-and-reading-supports-to-help-3rd-gr/9469935/","projectTitle":"Math and Reading Supports to Help 3rd Grade Students Grow!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hansen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9884164_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754054577801","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9884164"},{"teacherId":10001158,"projectId":9259668,"letterContent":"With your contribution, I was able to create a safe, sensory-friendly and fun learning environment for my students!
