This allowed me to get new classroom supply bins for our tables and a gift card to buy materials that supplement our curriculum.\r\n\r\nThe table bins have been really nice because they're a little bit larger than what we had before. It has helped the kids stay organized with all the supplies we need for different tasks throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe gift card has been really useful. I was able to purchase fun activities for classroom parties, as well as supplemental writing activities. Writing can be really hard for kids, and it's not the most favorite subject of students. I was able to purchase some writing activities that the students have really been enjoying, and I have seen a great improvement in their ability to write about a text passage and site evidence. The writing strategy we've been learning is also used in the higher grade levels, so it's preparing them for what they'll be doing in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1787610371066,"projectUrl":"project/organize-our-learning/10495106/","projectTitle":"Organize Our Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eichman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1906521_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516224662442","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hollyeichman"},{"teacherId":1906521,"projectId":10687224,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to our library project. It's amazing to see how excited kids get about books! These books were immediately placed in our classroom library for students to browse. \r\n\r\nThis project allowed us to fill in some missing books from series, and add a new series to our library. This also helped replace some outdated books that students are not reading. The best books are books that kids will read! The girls have really been loving Dork Diaries, and it was nice to see them quickly expand into a new book series they have never read before. \r\n\r\nI will continue to give my students opportunities to read new books.

At the end of the day, it is quick and easy to go to the mailbox and pack everything into student bookbags so we know that everything goes home each day. \r\nThe students were excited to see the new mailboxes.

Like any other time we get new books, students immediately want to switch out what they are reading for something new. \r\n\r\nOur classroom library was very limited when it came to non-fiction. The addition of biographies and history books filled a much needed gap. It was exciting to see so many kids eager to learn about people who have helped shape our country and create opportunities for women, immigrants, and people of color. \r\n\r\nIt was also neat to see how much interest some students hd in the Titanic. It was a such a huge deal when I was a kid and when the movie came out, so this was somewhat nostalgic. There were also a few boys who gravitated towards the book on plagues throughout history. \r\n\r\nMy students enjoyed this project, and I enjoyed seeing them deviate from graphic novels to learn some neat history.","fullyFundedDate":1778086015401,"projectUrl":"project/neat-nonfiction/10192478/","projectTitle":"Neat Nonfiction!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eichman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1906521_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516224662442","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hollyeichman"},{"teacherId":471139,"projectId":10201776,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my first grade classroom of learners.
