I am incredibly grateful for your generosity and for the positive impact these materials have had on our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe new flexible seating options have given my students more opportunities to find a comfortable way to learn, while the classroom rug provides a welcoming space for us to gather, participate in lessons, and learn together. The snacks and drinks have also been a wonderful way to show students that their needs matter and that they are cared for throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nIt is so meaningful to be able to provide my students with these extra comforts and resources. These items help create a classroom environment where students can feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. More than just supplies, they are reminders to my students that there are people who believe in them and want to see them succeed.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom is a more welcoming and comfortable place for students to learn, grow, and build confidence. Thank you for investing in our students and helping make our classroom a place where every child feels valued and cared for. Your generosity truly makes a difference, and we appreciate you so much!\r\n\r\nThe kids are loving sitting in the bean bag chairs to read their books!

We have been using our new apple tree scale with students since the beginning of September. They are absolutely loving exploring and playing with this new resource. The students can be found using sorting apples with the scale and measuring together. They are so happy to play with the scale but a bit disappointed that they cannot actually pick the apples off of the tree! We explain to them that they are just for looks and encourage other interactions with the apples-counting, telling stories, etc. They work together with social and problem solving skills while using the scale as well. It has been a wonderful addition to our Pre-K program!

I am so excited to use the materials from this project to create a classroom filled with fun, meaningful, and engaging learning experiences.\r\n\r\nI have been busy creating new centers that allow my students to practice the skills we are learning in class in hands-on and interactive ways. I especially love seeing my students work together to solve math equations, explain their thinking, and help one another. These centers give students opportunities to practice addition and subtraction, use different strategies, play math games, and build confidence while working with their classmates.\r\n\r\nI have also been creating ELA centers to help my students strengthen their reading, writing, and vocabulary skills. Activities such as Write the Room allow students to move around the classroom while reading, recording answers, and practicing important skills. My students enjoy the opportunity to learn in a way that feels like a game while still working toward our learning goals.\r\n\r\nAnother way I am using the materials is to create homework that directly aligns with what we are teaching in the classroom. I want homework to be meaningful practice and not simply busy work. The activities give students the opportunity to review skills we have learned throughout the week and continue practicing at home. This also helps families see what their children are learning and provides an opportunity for parents and caregivers to support their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1787172252101,"projectUrl":"project/moving-up-to-second-grade-updated-cente/10322718/","projectTitle":"Moving Up to Second Grade: Updated Centers and Meaningful Homework","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rachel Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5929963_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1560368631345","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5929963"},{"teacherId":5265798,"projectId":7848371,"letterContent":"Thank you for working together to bring this table to our classroom.
