The magnetic bins have been especially helpful. I use them to set up catch-up stations for students who were absent, with each bin holding instructions and materials for a lesson. Instead of feeling lost or having to wait for me, students can grab a bin and get right to work. One moment that stood out was a student who came back after being out and said, \"I know exactly what to do now.\" That independence and confidence is exactly what I was hoping for. The pencil-shaped holders with popsicle sticks have also made participation more fair and fun by helping me randomly call on students.\r\n\r\n They were really excited! The first thing they noticed was how fun and colorful everything looked, especially with the groovy 70s theme. Several students commented on how organized the room felt and loved the pencil-shaped holders. They were curious about the new bins and stations and couldn't wait to use them. Seeing the anchor charts and accountable talk posters displayed with magnetic clips also helped students feel more comfortable using them during discussions.\r\n\r\n Moving forward, students will continue using the station bins as we work through new lessons and units. The bins will support review, small-group work, and extra practice, especially for students who need to catch up or want to challenge themselves. Students are becoming more independent, more confident speaking during discussions, and more responsible for their learning. I would also love to begin a new project focused on creating better, more intentional printed resources for our daily lessons and improving how student work is organized. With these systems in place, the classroom feels more organized, welcoming, and fun—and most importantly, students feel supported and motivated every day.","fullyFundedDate":1755713475585,"projectUrl":"project/a-second-home-for-growing-minds/9596590/","projectTitle":"A Second Home for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kaur","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10177552"},{"teacherId":4082993,"projectId":9618460,"letterContent":"Thank you for funding \"Read Books in English Language Arts\". I am so grateful, as are my students and their families. We are reading the first of our curated library that aligns to our first unit The Thrill of Horror: \"Coraline\" by Neil Gaiman. Our curriculum is a good one, but it is digital. As a result, the students only read excerpts and short stories. I wanted to give them an opportunity to read an actual book, turn pages, and have discussion about what they're reading. Each of the titles will be used in Socratic and Literature Circles.\r\n\r\n Students were hooked from the very begining. We cleared our desks and just read for the enjoyment of reading. After reading, the students held collaborative discussions. These discussions were rich and included tracking Coraline's journey (monomyth) as well as discussions about parenting styles. I am fielding summative project proposals from my students; so far I've heard whispers about building escape rooms, models, and board games--None of this would be possible without your generous contribution. \r\n\r\nI can't wait to read\"The House on Mango Street\", and \"The Not So Private Letters of Private Nobody\" with these students. Reading books that complement our curriculum adds depth and engagement for us all.","fullyFundedDate":1758899273430,"projectUrl":"project/read-books-in-english-language-arts/9618460/","projectTitle":"Read Books in English Language Arts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4082993"},{"teacherId":4082993,"projectId":9094490,"letterContent":"Thank you for the classroom dictionaires and thesauri. I assumed that students knew how to use dictionaries; but our students have grown up in the \"Just Google It Era\". As a result, meaningful vocabulary acquistion has been troublesome. Although my 8th graders had a rudimentary understanding, it was clear that they needed assistance using desk reference materials when the ChromeBooks weren't available. \r\n\r\nYour gift met our needs. Students particularly enjoyed \"racing\" to find words in the dictionary and understanding syllabication.
