Because of your kindness, our classroom is now equipped with wonderful new resources that are already making a profound difference in our daily routines.\r\n\r\nWith your donation, we were able to purchase fidget stones, marble runs, magnet toys, and toy animals. The fidget stones have been absolutely wonderful for helping students calm down, self-regulate, and refocus when they are feeling overwhelmed. Furthermore, the marble runs, magnet toys, and toy animals have completely transformed our free time. These interactive materials give the children a much-needed opportunity to play collaboratively, use their imaginations, and develop essential social skills in a safe, engaging environment.","fullyFundedDate":1768172634927,"projectUrl":"project/self-regulation-tools/9989123/","projectTitle":"Self Regulation Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rosenthal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3871933_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647840372257","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-rosenthal22"},{"teacherId":3535438,"projectId":10001226,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to our school library's Tonies collection!

Facts about their favorite animals came to life, and it was the \"fun\" center right off the bat! They were all excited to have their turn. \r\n\r\nProjects like this bring learning to life, which is a great way to grow kids' curiosity about the world and excitement about learning.

Instead of just practicing reading, students are now experiencing stories and making deeper connections.\r\n\r\nReading time in our classroom has become something students genuinely look forward to. They are more motivated to pick up books, stay engaged for longer periods of time, and share their thinking with one another. I've seen students who used to feel unsure about reading begin to participate more, take risks, and feel proud of themselves. The new books have also helped me better support a wide range of learners, from students who are still building foundational skills to those who are ready for more challenging texts.","fullyFundedDate":1768057317852,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-learners-in-2nd-grade/9988492/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Learners in 2nd Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9089461_orig.png?crop=956,956,x41,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1688269786765","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9089461"},{"teacherId":8109097,"projectId":9993552,"letterContent":"We are beyond grateful for all the supplies and manipulatives we received from the state this year and this generous grant.

It easier for them to choose their level, find books, and put books away. \r\n\r\nThe leveled books are helping my low readers. It is helping them with their short and long vowel sounds and giving them the confidence of reading a book. My student has told me, he can't read. After he reads this short book, he smiles and says I can read. \r\n\r\nThank you for the markers and the colored pencil organizer. The kids love to color with marker.

We have been using them during our literacy block, especially during small group instruction and hands-on activities. One of my favorite moments was watching my students use the materials during a phonics lesson—students were actively building words, practicing sounds, and helping each other without even realizing how much they were learning. It created such an engaging, collaborative environment where every student felt successful and involved.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were immediately curious and eager to explore. There was so much excitement as they noticed the new tools and asked if they could try them right away. Even my more hesitant learners were drawn in and willing to participate. It truly shifted the energy in the classroom—students were more confident, more focused, and genuinely excited about learning.\r\n\r\nAs we continue using these resources, we are building toward stronger reading and writing skills, especially in phonics, vocabulary, and early comprehension. Our next steps include using these materials to support multisensory read-alouds and guided practice, helping students make deeper connections between sounds, words, and meaning.

These new texts have immediately enriched our learning by strengthening students' understanding of nonfiction features, expanding academic vocabulary, and nurturing a genuine love for reading. Students are learning how to navigate headings, captions, diagrams, and glossaries while building background knowledge about real-world topics. The books have helped them see reading not only as a school task, but as a way to explore their interests and curiosity.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is a dedicated and meaningful part of each day. We reserve 30 minutes for intentional, focused reading time, during which students independently engage with texts at their level and interest. During this time, they practice comprehension strategies, learn new words in context, and discuss discoveries with peers. The nonfiction collection has made this time even more purposeful, as students are eager to learn and to share information they find important.\r\n\r\nAll of my students are especially enjoying the opportunity to dive deeper into topics they care about. They appreciate the freedom to learn more about animals, science, history, and other real-world subjects, and many continue discussing what they read long after reading time ends.

Having technology available at learning stations has helped students stay engaged and take more ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nThe fidgets have been just as impactful. Many of my students benefit from movement and sensory input, and these tools help them regulate their bodies so they can better focus on learning tasks.
