My students are using these new resources every single day, and they have quickly become an essential part of our learning. The doodle boards have transformed both our reading and math instruction. Students use them during whole group lessons to practice writing and chaining words, and during small groups to work through phonics patterns and show their thinking in math. Being able to erase and try again with a quick click of a button has boosted their confidence and willingness to take risks. The magnetic tiles have also been a huge hit. During our morning STEM bin time, which serves as a calm and engaging soft start to the day, many students naturally gravitate toward building, collaborating, and problem-solving together, which helps them transition into the school mindset with focus and excitement.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate and genuine. Students' eyes lit up as they explored the doodle boards and eagerly began drawing, writing, and sharing their work. The magnetic tiles sparked instant creativity, with students working together to design structures and proudly explaining their thinking. The 7 Habits of Happy Kids books have been especially meaningful for our classroom culture. My students already recognize and love the characters, and they often choose these books during independent reading time. They enjoy revisiting familiar stories while reinforcing the social-emotional skills we practice daily, making learning feel both meaningful and fun.\r\n\r\nStudents will continue using these tools to deepen their learning across subjects. The doodle boards will support more advanced word work and multi-step math problems, while the magnetic tiles will be incorporated into structured STEM challenges that encourage teamwork and critical thinking. The 7 Habits books will remain a cornerstone of our classroom, guiding discussions, reflections, and real-life connections as students grow both academically and socially. Thank you for giving my students resources that support their curiosity, confidence, and love of learning. It has truly made a lasting impact in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1758221339499,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-tools/9485357/","projectTitle":"Engaging Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9563523_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y204&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718739872778","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9563523"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107790","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1564,"numTeachers":74,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":31,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.7,"schoolId":107790,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bradford Preparatory School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bradford Preparatory School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/north-carolina-department-of-education/bradford-preparatory-school/107790"}
