The new supplies have become part of our daily routines. Students use them to write, revise, solve problems, and collaborate without the stress of not having what they need.\r\n\r\nOne moment that stood out was during a recent writing lesson. Every student had their own materials, and instead of waiting or sharing, they jumped right into revising their stories. The focus and confidence in the room were incredible.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies first arrived, the excitement was real! There were cheers, big smiles, and lots of \"Those are for us?\". They felt valued, and that feeling has carried into their work; truly! \r\n\r\nWe're now moving into a multi-step project that includes group problem‑solving and short presentations. Having these materials ensures every student can participate fully and finish the year out strong!

Each sample was placed in clear bags, making them easily accessible for students to observe, compare, and discuss their characteristics. This simple setup encouraged curiosity and allowed students to closely examine textures, colors, and differences between rock types.\r\nIn addition, we used the plastic cups to plant seeds, giving students the opportunity to observe and track plant growth over time. They are excited to watch the changes each day and are beginning to understand the basic needs of living things through direct experience.\r\nThese activities have created engaging, interactive learning moments that help bring STEM concepts to life in a meaningful way.","fullyFundedDate":1776128219126,"projectUrl":"project/materials-for-our-stem-investigations/10117744/","projectTitle":"Materials for Our STEM Investigations!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6407758_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556883746315","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6407758"},{"teacherId":9743485,"projectId":10045808,"letterContent":"Thanks to your kindness, our classroom has been full of smiles and busy hands!!

For example, the color printer has been supportive of families in creating visual routines that support organization, promote independence, and confidence in students. The laminator has helped preserve these visual routines so that they are durable and last longer as children and families use them. The printer and laminator has also been helpful in creating bilingual story visuals that introduce and teach children techniques to manage feelings, make friends, and solve problems. Students have been able to use the visuals during sessions and at home bridging the home to school connection. \r\n\r\nYour support has made a meaningful difference in helping create a safe, predictable, and healthy environment for students.

The clear storage bins have helpful in reducing clutter by keeping materials organized and easily accessible. \r\n\r\nThe games have provided interactive and fun ways to engage children in introducing, practicing, and reinforcing important SEL skills. Students enjoy playing the Pete the Cat Groovy Friendship Game, where they practice problem solving and social skills through everyday situations at school, in the neighborhood, in the community, or at home. Students especially enjoy pressing Pete's head to dispense tokens needed to solve the situations. The Key Education Social Skills File Folder Game has been an engaging way to teach and support children in practicing social skills such as being respectful, making good choices, having a conversation, and managing feelings.

For example, reading the bilingual book Isabel and her Colores go to School was helpful in easing a student's worries about the her transition to school. The student identified with the character Isabel's feelings and ways she was able to feel better about going to school. The book interrupting chicken was a fun and engaging read aloud to support children also learning communication skills such as waiting their turn. The book Breathe like a Bear has been helpful in teaching children mindfulness exercises to help them manage their breathe and emotions. \r\n\r\nChildren are excited to see themselves and their experiences reflected in these books.
