We've been using the dry erase markers daily during math lessons—students solve problems right at their desks, show their thinking, and quickly make corrections without fear of \"messing up.\" One of our favorite moments so far was during a place-value lesson when every student held up their board at once, proudly showing their answers. It gave me instant feedback and gave them a big confidence boost.\r\n\r\nThe footballs have been a game-changer too—literally. We use them during brain breaks and as part of review games where students answer questions before tossing the ball to a classmate. These short movement breaks help my students reset, refocus, and release energy in a positive way. I've noticed better engagement and fewer behavior issues, especially during longer lessons.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their reactions said it all—cheers, wide eyes, and lots of \"Are these really for us?!\" They immediately wanted to know when we could start using them, and they've treated them with care because they feel a sense of ownership.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be using the dry erase markers for small-group problem solving and written responses in reading, while continuing to incorporate the footballs into math fact fluency games and cooperative learning activities. These resources are helping create an active, inclusive classroom where every student feels confident to participate.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and being part of our learning journey. Your support is making a real, visible difference every single day. 💛🏈✏️","fullyFundedDate":1764775332223,"projectUrl":"project/markers-paper-and-play-tools-for-grow/9889666/","projectTitle":"Markers, Paper, and Play: Tools for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Harrison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7553034_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1600355551460","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrharrisonfalkland"},{"teacherId":5646556,"projectId":9988662,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to this project!

As we have started reorganizing our library, these bins have made such a big difference! We started with our picture book section and the bins from this project were enough to transform about half of our collection. I have noticed a huge difference in the way that students are drawn to the books that are in the bins. When the covers of the books are facing out on the shelves, the students go towards them first. No more shelves of spines! The students are finding books that they didn't know we had and they think that the books are brand new, even though some of them have been here for years. These bins really allow the books to shine in our space! Going forward, we will start on the fiction books using the smaller bins we got from this project, and we will be writing another project to secure more bins to finish the picture books section.
