Due to your contributions my student will continue to receive treats and snacks when they need just a little something to feed their hunger.

Part of having a fantastic school year, is developing routines with children and make their day predictable. Clean up time in the block area this school year has been magical. After the children build structures then we all clean up. Putting away different types of block can be overwhelming and children tend to just put different types of blocks in the same shelf. \r\n\r\nOur new shelf allows us to place almost each individual block in its own compartment. Each section in the shelf is labeled with an image of the matching block and children place given blocks in the corresponding shelf. Yes some blocks do share space with one another and even then children still place the right blocks on the side that they belong.","fullyFundedDate":1750865419602,"projectUrl":"project/block-area-storage/9194654/","projectTitle":"Block Area Storage","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6455275_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1649056698037","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6455275"},{"teacherId":2427863,"projectId":9230788,"letterContent":"My students were elated to receive their donated books of their choice.

This occurred during their designated reading time, free time and at lunch time.
