We have been using our supplies in our classroom. Because our classroom is mostly magnetic, I was able to hang up different papers and anchor charts around the room. The magnetic hooks and clips are helpful to keep our classroom organized. \r\nI have been working hard teaching my students to stay organized so the labels are helpful in putting on our new set of folders. Their folders are now labeled and organized for each subject. \r\nWhere do I begin with the Laminating Pouches - THEY ARE LIFESAVERS! The amount of sheets I've laminated this year - multiplication charts for each student, place value charts, different anchor charts, our morphology wall. The list can go on and on. Laminated pages allow our papers to stay in good condition and last longer for our students. \r\nColored Paper makes our room full of color and keeps us interested in looking at our bulletin boards inside and outside of our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1756785087307,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-necessities/9657330/","projectTitle":"Classroom Necessities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rafailova","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9069156_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753918226218","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9069156"},{"teacherId":9993469,"projectId":9244329,"letterContent":"My students have been using all the classroom materials around the classroom. We have been using cleaning supplies which has been keeping out germs at bay for now. The dry eraser markers and erasers have come in so handy during fundation lessons, ELA and math. During Fundation students use dry eraser boards to write their trick words and dictations. During ELA lessons they use them to draw their favorite part of the story or to write their vocabulary and discuss with the class. During math small groups we use the open number line to add and this has been a game changer. \r\nThe library nook is the cutes, the students love sitting there by the window where pumpkins are placed and their favorite book. They get to go there as a relaxing time and as they finish their work they can take a break. Sometimes they lay down and sometimes 2 or 3 students sit and read to each other, it has given the classroom such a home /cozy feel. I too enjoy reading to them while sitting there. \r\nWhen the students first saw it they were so excited that some of them chose to do their work there and it is such a great feeling to see their faces light up.","fullyFundedDate":1746569804334,"projectUrl":"project/essential-items-for-our-everyday-use/9244329/","projectTitle":"Essential Items for Our Everyday Use.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Prela","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9993469"},{"teacherId":3285811,"projectId":9572535,"letterContent":"The impact of this specific project has continued to come back to me.

Usually there are only a few students who were prepared with the supplies they needed daily, however now there hasn't been 1.
