This project aims to provide students with essential materials including high-quality writing paper and magnetic strips that make learning cursive engaging and tactile. With these supplies, students not only practice forming letters but also develop fine motor skills and muscle memory, which are critical for fluent handwriting.\r\nThe impact of this project is significant. Students gain confidence in their handwriting abilities, which improves their overall writing fluency and academic performance. The magnetic strips serve as a hands-on tool to help students visualize and form cursive letters correctly, which is especially beneficial for kinesthetic learners and those who struggle with traditional paper-and-pencil methods. Our students have shown increased motivation and pride in their written work when they master cursive using these interactive materials.","fullyFundedDate":1760390848948,"projectUrl":"project/starter-resources-for-cursive-writing/9788093/","projectTitle":"Starter Resources for Cursive Writing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hartness","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6931003_orig.jpg?crop=769,769,x16,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759448150398","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6931003"},{"teacherId":6931003,"projectId":9787972,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, every student in our class experienced the joy and pride of holding their very own copy of the novel during our most recent novel study. For many students, this was the first time they each had a book that was theirs to read, mark, and discuss every day — not a shared classroom copy or a digital version, but a physical book they could open, annotate, and connect with personally.\r\nAs we read together, students began to see themselves as true readers. They tracked the characters' growth, asked deeper questions, and eagerly flipped ahead to find out what happened next. Having their own copies allowed them to follow along more confidently, highlight meaningful passages, and participate in richer discussions.","fullyFundedDate":1759674810060,"projectUrl":"project/from-dust-bowl-to-determination-fifth-g/9787972/","projectTitle":"From Dust Bowl to Determination: Fifth Graders Read On","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hartness","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6931003_orig.jpg?crop=769,769,x16,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759448150398","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6931003"},{"teacherId":8708433,"projectId":9318446,"letterContent":"Technology in the classroom allows teachers to accelerate learning by providing personalized instruction.
