Your support goes far beyond replenishing supplies. It ensures that our students have access to numerous materials and learning resources that make a real difference in their language development. For many of our students, printed handouts and visuals are lifelines to understanding and communicating. \r\n It is inspiring to see a community of donors in NYC come together to support our public schools.

The students were initially intrigued by the boxes in the classroom and equally delighted to see a generous supply of paper. We did our very first \"free draw\" using blank paper (instead of drawing on the back of left over copies)--this was such a treat to draw and fresh, clean, crisp paper! We plan to use our paper to continue our word study/phonics, practicing conventional writing, problem solving for math and recording different math concepts, completing story maps to show what we remember about what we read.","fullyFundedDate":1743036580826,"projectUrl":"project/we-want-paper-in-kindergarten/9190693/","projectTitle":"We Want Paper in Kindergarten!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chin Choy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp513994_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1452050593148","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/chinchoy"},{"teacherId":5775837,"projectId":9187312,"letterContent":"THANK YOU to every donor that made a contribution to my project!\r\n\r\nYour donation towards paper has had a huge impact on my students. One way is by allowing me to be able to make photo copies for every subject area. This includes: reading, writing, phonics, math social studies and science! For example, students in kindergarten are just learning to write their names and letters properly so they need to practice writing it every single day. This means a lot of paper is needed.\r\n\r\nPaper IS A NECESSITY not a WANT- it is a NEED in kindergarten!

Students also use the desk to work one on one with me during phonics and social emotional learning activities. \r\n\r\nMy students get so excited when it is time to work at our group table. The donation included a set of chairs so that I can work with 4 students at a time in a small group. Having this new group table has allowed me to give valuable time to each student in my class. I am able to rotate groups so that everyone gets a turn to receive additional learning time with the teacher. \r\n\r\nOnce again, I truly thank you and my students thank you as well for helping us to receive these much needed chairs and table.
