They were so excited to receive a package for them!!!\r\n\r\nStudents absolutely loved the Boogie Writing Boards. We put it out during our circle time, and students can quickly write and share their answers by holding them up. Its a great way for me to do a quick check for understanding, and also save paper.\r\n\r\nWe also love the pencil sharpener. It sharpens everything and does not give up!!! We added eyes to make the students laugh.\r\n\r\nFinally the sand boards and the pencil grips are helping my struggling fine motor writers. They practice the letters in the sand, then use the grips to hold the pencil correctly.\r\n\r\nThank you all for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1758898917287,"projectUrl":"project/future-writers-begin-with-picking-up-a-p/9481372/","projectTitle":"Future Writers Begin with Picking Up a Pencil","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fuerst","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp237816_orig.jpg?crop=936,936,x506,y419&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1594948918801","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/afuerst"},{"teacherId":2206,"projectId":9589545,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation.
