The games you funded will make a huge difference in their handwriting and cutting skills in the future. The best part is they can have fun while they work on it! \r\n\r\nKeeping kindergarteners engaged is a tricky task! If they are interested in what they are doing it helps a lot!

The funds that you provided for the site Teachers Pay Teachers have already made a big difference in our daily lessons! I was able to purchase Google slides to go with our math curriculum and they are wonderful. They are so much more user-friendly for me and much more engaging for my students! I've also purchased two book companion units and crafts to go along with books that we read together as a class. Because of you, I had the funds to do all of this without using my own personal money.

I was about to loose my mind with all the water bottles tipping over clanking and spilling all the time. Our classroom is on the end of the hall so the water in our tap never gets very cold so the chilled water is great! It has been a huge hit with the students. I go to a local flowing well and fill up jugs every weekend to supply the class with great tasting cold water. \r\nThe strip lighting helped provide a softer light rather than keeping the overhead lights on. With windows on two sides of my room we get quite a bit of natural light, but on those cloudy days a little extra light is needed. \r\nHaving my own printer is proving invaluable. When I run out of extra copies and a student needs a new worksheet I can print one off on the spot rather than having to wait to get them from the copier on my next break. I have not printed a lot of color worksheets yet, but I have made some small posters and teaching aids that just look nicer when printed in color. As the year goes on I look forward to finding more ways to incorporate color into our learning. I think this will come in very handing during our mapping unit in the spring.","fullyFundedDate":1755692247354,"projectUrl":"project/water-lighting-and-printers-oh-my/9569288/","projectTitle":"Water, Lighting, and Printers, Oh My!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Tollgaard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2259375_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1467469593891","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2259375"},{"teacherId":1888428,"projectId":9612100,"letterContent":"I am very excited about our calming items that we received! The light covers are great because it not only allows the light to be calmer, but provides students with a reminder of positivity! Believe it or not, but they still talk about the sayings.\r\n\r\nThe Jellyfish tank has been a wonderful addition to our room. The students love watching them float around when they need a small brain break. They even take turns turning the tank on and off, almost like it is a real pet.\r\n\r\nThe calming rock light has been alright. I thought it was bigger than what it is and the music isn't as loud as I was hoping, however it is still helping.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping me provide these extra items into our classroom for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1755748253337,"projectUrl":"project/calming-seats-and-lights/9612100/","projectTitle":"Calming Seats and Lights","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vermeersch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1888428_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1658248690103","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-vermeersch"},{"teacherId":1888428,"projectId":9616087,"letterContent":"My students are really liking that challenging puzzles that they get to use when they are done with their work!
