This year our school has added a DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read). I personally love reading but know that not all students remember to bring their books to class or have found books they enjoy. This gives my students an opportunity to use books in class and not miss out on instructional time by going to the library or locker. I love to share my love for reading through books in the classroom even though I do not teach reading.","fullyFundedDate":1790807646913,"projectUrl":"project/drop-everything-and-read-books/10704881/","projectTitle":"Drop Everything and Read- Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Slocum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3698098_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1598316892383","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misskvenvold"},{"teacherId":3698098,"projectId":10185117,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating and helping our Wind Turbine Blades project be successful! Some of the items that were included in the project were the permanent markers so that students can decorate and label their turbines with their company name or logo. In addition, a lot of the materials are foam blocks. We had the opportunity to get a hot wire cutter that we can use to cut the foam to use for wind turbines! Normally, we only use paper plates or carboard. We are excited to be able to use the foam to see if the foam works better or worse. We also had paper plates ordered, not for food but instead to use to cut our wind turbine blades out of. We use the graph paper to build easy to read blue prints with measurements and labels as part of our lessons. Thank you again for all of your help!
