The top two things they absolutely LOVE are their new waterbottles which display all of their cool stickers and the \"Chair of Awesome\" which is placed in our Community Circle.\r\n\r\nThe students are eager to \"show up\" and make smart and kind choices in our community. When observed, they earn a \"Gecko Buck\". These bucks can be used at the weekly Gecko Store where students can but waterproof water bottle stickers, pencils, and backpack keychains which were also a part of the Celebrate Students project. The rubber duckies with sunglasses were a big hit especially! \r\n\r\nThe students chose the name \"Chair of Awesome\" for the beanbag chair at the community circle. The reveal of who gets to sit each day is a special morning announcement. Each kid who sits in the chair can sit in it any time of the day at the carpet. It is an opportunity to celebrate even the quietest, non assuming students. It's a community privilege each student enjoys.\r\n\r\nThank you for sponsoring our daily student celebrations in our classroom.

Since receiving the new resources, including the whiteboards and long division dry erase cards, our students have been actively engaging with math in ways we hadn't seen before. In particular, during a recent lesson on dividing decimals, students used the dry erase cards to work through problems in small groups. This hands-on activity allowed them to visualize the division process, making a once-difficult concept feel more approachable and achievable.\r\n\r\nThe reaction from the students was immediate and full of excitement. As soon as they saw the new materials, there was a buzz in the room! Students eagerly grabbed the whiteboards and began to collaborate, sharing strategies and solving problems together. For many, this was their first time experiencing math in such an interactive, tangible way, and it instantly made them feel more confident in their ability to succeed.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps involve continuing to integrate these resources into our daily math lessons. We're currently working on a group project where students will apply their knowledge of fractions and decimals to real-world scenarios, such as budgeting for a class event. By using the whiteboards to map out their ideas and discuss their strategies, they'll not only reinforce their math skills but also work on critical thinking and collaboration. Thanks to your contribution, we're providing our students with the tools they need to thrive and approach math with confidence and curiosity.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generous support. Your contribution is truly making a difference in our classroom, and we are excited to see how it continues to shape our students' growth.","fullyFundedDate":1738476017232,"projectUrl":"project/making-math-more-meaningful-and-visual/9085550/","projectTitle":"Making Math More Meaningful and Visual","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sandgren","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8255210_orig.png?crop=833,833,x0,y322&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650656876481","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8255210"},{"teacherId":8255210,"projectId":9112960,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our project to create a more dynamic and student-centered learning environment. Your donation has already made a remarkable difference in our classroom, and I'm excited to share the positive impact it's having on my 5th graders.\r\n\r\nWith the addition of the lamps and flexible seating, our classroom has transformed into a space that is not only comfortable but also empowering for my students. The moment they saw the new seating options, there was a buzz of excitement. Some students immediately claimed their new favorite spots, others enjoyed rearranging the space to create their ideal learning nook, and everyone was eager to dive into their work in this refreshed environment. It's amazing to see them so engaged and focused, as the flexibility allows them to work in ways that suit their individual needs. Whether they're sitting on a beanbag or working at a standing desk, they're more comfortable, which has directly enhanced their concentration and enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nOne particular moment that stood out was when we used the lamps for independent reading time. The soft lighting created such a cozy atmosphere that students were completely immersed in their books, with some commenting that it felt like a special \"reading corner.\" It's clear that these new resources are not only improving their comfort but also making learning more enjoyable.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the next steps for my students are exciting! We'll continue to use the flexible seating as part of a group projects, where students will collaborate and share ideas in different spaces around the room. The choice to move around and adapt their environment will help them feel more in control of their learning, encouraging independence, self-regulation, and creativity.\r\n\r\nYour donation has truly transformed our classroom, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to provide my students with an environment that meets their diverse needs.
