Not having a singular location for supplies makes it difficult to provide instruction in a \"fun\" way because it typically too difficult to keep carrying a lot of things back and forth. \r\n\r\nThe sticky situation cards are amazing because I can take just a few at a time to use with the students without overloading my bag! The scenarios are relevant for this age and for this time period, which is much appreciated. \r\n\r\nThe conversation cubes can be spread throughout the rooms I use so I there is always a prompt ready for a student who needs a little help getting a conversation going. \r\n\r\nThe writing tablets have a lot of uses, and again, are light enough for me to carry between locations, or split to leave in 2 different spots. They are used for comprehension strategies (note taking/picture drawing), phonics practice, and for individual responses within a group setting. \r\n\r\nThe scratch paper and the prizes have been an absolute hit. My students work hard during sessions to have their names entered into a spinner for a chance to win a prize. These have proved to be quite motivating! \r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your generosity and supporting us in public education!","fullyFundedDate":1762267591345,"projectUrl":"project/good-clean-fun/9509266/","projectTitle":"Good Clean Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sokolowski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9980064"},{"teacherId":8657879,"projectId":9602782,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to my classroom and making it have a warmer atmosphere for learning. We put the lamp up and put the lights around all the boards to add light and see the glow effect. When it's too dark out, we turn the classroom lights on a little and we love the blue light affect we get now! \r\n\r\nMy students loved coming in here and seeing the change in lights. They'll ask me to do different settings with the lights depending on what we're doing and they love having that ability.

My room is a warmer and cozier place because of you. I know that my students will appreciate the alternative lamp lighting instead of bright and startling fluorescent lighting. \r\n\r\nI have found that students work better when their learning environment doesn't feel sterile but rather homey and familiar and lamps with comforting lighting really helps. \r\n\r\nMy students complete missing work in my room, so it's my hope that this feels like a comfortable environment that is safe. Many of my students are getting independent or homework reading done during their time with me, and the room helps them concentrate.","fullyFundedDate":1704060711261,"projectUrl":"project/mill-motivation/7967179/","projectTitle":"Mill Motivation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5460464_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632265609902","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/wark"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21726","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":776,"numTeachers":65,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":21726,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mill Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mill Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/williamsville-central-school-district/mill-middle-school/21726"}
