Your contributions enabled me to receive some fantastic classroom lesson manipulatives to aid my students in their learning. My students all have different learning styles. By addressing each of the various methods of learning, I know that I am making every effort to ensure that every child understands the concept being taught and increases their knowledge base. The use of visual aids is especially helpful to my English Language Learners, as they are at varying stages in their English language comprehension development. The visuals help increase their English vocabulary by connecting them with the English word for each visual. \r\nMy first grade students were so excited when they entered my class and saw the feltboard set up for the beginning of our fairy tale unit. They all wanted to be part of putting the pieces on the board. They each were given a piece to put up at a certain point in the tale. They were required to listen carefully to the tale in order to know when their piece needed to be put up. The feltboard and Goldilocks set really brought the fairy tale to life for the class. They loved it! My ELLs were also actively engaged.","fullyFundedDate":1730572221980,"projectUrl":"project/interactive-story-experience/8909581/","projectTitle":"Interactive Story Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sullivan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9819633"},{"teacherId":3740850,"projectId":8872611,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supplying my classroom with STEM activities. They love building with the DOMINOES. We use them over and over to create different structures. They love to try to make them longer each time. The straw constructor kit is very cool. My students love building with them as well. Then we have the magic foam kit. They are soft foam pieces that can be used over and over again. My students are using their imaginations to build various projects. It is teaching them teamwork, problem solving and cooperative learning.

Students can get points by being responsible, by being kind or by making good choices. When we asked them what they would like to earn , we were able to take their requests and add it to our wish list-and with your donations we were able to fulfill their wishes! They were so excited to see the prize box get filled. It has been super motivating to them!

My students were excited to work with this project because the novel has been very impactful, and we often share ways to show kindness. \r\nThe project we used allowed the children to share the ways in which they plan to show kindness this holiday season with a fun craft from the novel. The children were showing each other their Wonder elves and snowmen and spent the afternoon coloring and having fun together. \r\nThese are the types of projects children remember most in school. The memories we have made will last a lifetime. We are excited for the next project we will download from our Teacher Pay Teachers gift card that Donors Choose made possible.","fullyFundedDate":1729916773440,"projectUrl":"project/exciting-engaging-lessons/8846799/","projectTitle":"Exciting & Engaging Lessons","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Antonacci","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8534687"},{"teacherId":3749515,"projectId":8845325,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support of our classroom.
