These cards allow students to practice sounding out phonemes, blending sounds, reading words, and then applying that knowledge through spelling.\r\n\r\nThe colored cardstock you provided has been especially valuable. It has allowed me to create nonsense (make-believe) words such as vim, sav, gef, lim, zot, and zut, giving students meaningful practice in decoding and blending individual letter sounds. This has strengthened their phonics skills and built their confidence as readers.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the cardstock has supported learning beyond reading. We have used it to create both 2-D and 3-D shapes for our geometry lessons, and students proudly displayed their completed projects.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. Your support has made a meaningful difference in our students' learning experiences across multiple subject areas.","fullyFundedDate":1761934920499,"projectUrl":"project/bright-pages-for-bright-minds/9661789/","projectTitle":"Bright Pages for Bright Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tincher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9188941_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y110&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756416299209","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/l-tincher"},{"teacherId":1542388,"projectId":9559826,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the book display shelf.

I include seasonal titles as well. Each morning, when my children arrive at school, they select a book to read. With this new bookshelf, they are able to examine the cover illustrations and easily read the titles, and this helps draw their interest and make book selection more inviting. The colorful covers have also added to the visual appeal of the entire classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for funding this addition to our classroom.

Currently we have been talking about shelters and how all creatures require some form of shelter to live. As part of a design challenge students were asked to build a shelter for themselves that could protect them from bad weather. An additional project we are working on is storytelling and using the legos to design sets to show a part of different stories that they are reading about. \r\n\r\nWhen I showed the students all the LEGOs they were really excited and began cheering and screaming with excitement. I have never seen so many students actively engaged in my lessons and to be so complimentary and cooperative with their fellow classmates. \r\n\r\nOur next steps are to integrate more storytelling elements along with LEGOs and add in a technology piece by having them create stop motion videos retelling a story or at least part of the story. THis will be more of a final assessment for students to showcase all they have learned so far about story telling and using the LEGOs.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous donations and contributions to the education of young minds.","fullyFundedDate":1768324057589,"projectUrl":"project/lego-story-studio/9963824/","projectTitle":"LEGO Story Studio","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Henley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4361454_orig.jpg?crop=1592,1592,x0,y90&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746560588350","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4361454"},{"teacherId":9731990,"projectId":9760376,"letterContent":"At the beginning of the year I was giving 5 packs of paper.
