I was reluctant to embrace the change, but embarked on a journey to assist my students in navigating this new school reality.\r\n\r\nWe started with Uno cards, fidget spinners, and play dough. As expected, some items \"walk out\" of the room, resulting in the need to refresh the supply on a fairly regular basis. But \"distraction boxes\" have truly been a huge success. Students have ownership of their boxes, and can be somewhat territorial about the contents of their table's box.\r\n\r\nMoving into the 2nd semester of our cell phone free classroom, we had a better idea of what we found most rewarding about our boxes; namely, word searches, more play dough, and reinforcement for our Uno supply. Thank you for helping to enhance our distraction boxes! We are truly grateful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1760670680219,"projectUrl":"project/enhanced-distraction-boxes/9601965/","projectTitle":"Enhanced Distraction Boxes!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Baker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8318110_orig.jpg?crop=642,642,x90,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1667510342597","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8318110"},{"teacherId":8583874,"projectId":9597035,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your donations to my classroom.

It's always exciting to receive news materials, but it's unfortunately few and far between these days thanks to budget cuts. You made my students' day. \r\n\r\nWe used these notebooks for notes, journaling, grammar practice, and interactive notebooks for our novel studies. Specifically, my students are currently using these notebooks to practice for the WIDA, an English language proficiency exam.

Students have used the sticky notes for their daily bell work assignments and have practiced writing complete sentences on them every day to expand their English language skills. The pencils have also been an important resource for students to be able to complete their daily assignments and activities. \r\n\r\nNone of these materials would be possible without your donation, so thank you again for contributing to my class and my students.

Each little was presented a gift by Santa and Mrs. Claus. These gifts were donated by the high school students. \r\n There were 2 parties of 40-45 Kindergarteners and about 100 high school students and volunteers. It does take an army.
