It was an extremely challenging semester, but thinking of the many friends who have supported me in this new calling has been a great source of encouragement.\r\n\r\nThe set of supplies my students use daily includes brightly colored vinyl document covers, whiteboard markers, and mini whiteboard erasers. They use them in both their literacy and math centers. During center rotations, one of the ways my kinders are motivated to do \"Level 3\" or \"Level 4\" work (meaning they are either \"Working Hard and Being Respectful\" or \"Working Hard, Being Respectful, and Challenging Themselves\") is by completing the work and getting their picture taken (which is then featured on my slides showing what Level 3 or Level 4 work looks like!). Having these vinyl covers, whiteboard markers, and whiteboard erasers adds so much accountability to the centers! \r\n\r\nAnother one of the supplies they absolutely love is the watercolor paint sets! Having their own little paint set to illustrate their writing (or at this point, more their thoughts, with the beginnings of labels for their drawings) makes their writing assignments so much more fun! \r\n\r\nThe thick triangular grip pencils you all helped purchase have been wonderful as a transition to regular #2 pencils, especially for my kiddos with weaker fine motor skills. These, along with the clipboards, are used during whole-group instruction at the carpet. This is a lifesaver for me; they sit six at each table, and there's no way I'd be able to keep all their eyes facing towards me!! \r\n\r\nI'm remembering each of you today and asking God to touch you by His presence this Advent season.","fullyFundedDate":1757540048535,"projectUrl":"project/kinder-classroom-basics/9672277/","projectTitle":"Kinder Classroom Basics!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hui","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10114194_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y208&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756789780286","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10114194"},{"teacherId":9119969,"projectId":8000843,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our kindergarten classroom! The moment the new materials arrived, my students were filled with joy and excitement. One of the most memorable moments was when we used the new supplies during our literacy centers. They eagerly explored each new item, taking turns, asking questions, and working together with big smiles on their faces. One student even shouted, \"This is the best day ever!\" Your gift truly brought joy and inspiration into our classroom.\r\nWe used these materials as part of our unit on letters, sounds, and early reading skills. The next step for our students was creat their own little books using the tools you helped provide. They learned how to express themselves through pictures and words, and it's been incredible to watch their confidence grow.
