They immediately wanted to sit together and read. They have also taken great pride in keeping our classroom clean by using the vacuum, showing responsibility and teamwork as they care for the space they share.\r\nAs we continue our reading lessons, students will use the reading area for small-group instruction, independent reading, partner reading, and class read-alouds.

They were curious about the emergency ladder and asked thoughtful questions about when and how it would be used. We explained that we hope we never have to use it, but having it available helps keep everyone safe in the event of an emergency.\r\nAs we continue learning, we will incorporate these resources into our classroom safety discussions and emergency preparedness routines.

When children aren't distracted by hunger, they are better able to participate in lessons, collaborate with classmates, and do their best work. Because of your generosity, you are helping create a classroom where every student feels cared for and supported.\r\n\r\nMy students and I are incredibly grateful for your investment in their success and well-being.

They immediately started planning their designs. Some students wanted to have a design that incorporated the names of everyone in our class, but that was impractical. Another wanted the shirts to say: \"I Survived Second Grade\" because he is a big fan of the \"I Survived\" book series. But then a student created a design that said simply: \"We are a team\" and everyone loved it. I was surprised that they wanted something so straightforward, but it's a testimony to their hard work at becoming a team this year that it's what they wanted on their shirts.\r\n\r\nWe then voted on what design should go with the word, \"We are a team.\" A bear because it's our school mascot and a heart were the top two vote getters. When I looked at designs I found something perfect: A bear and a heart and room for the text we decided on.\r\n\r\nThe last week of school I brough the printed out designs in gold and students watched as I used my heat press to put it on their black shirts. When it was cool they got to peel off the plastic and see the design. It was a magical moment! Students immediately wanted to put their shirts on. Their shirts will be a lasting reminder of how important it is to work as a team.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting this project and making the team shirts possible for my students! Thank you also for the beading supplies. Students had so much fun the last week of school making bracelets and necklaces for themselves, friends and family members.

I am so happy that even my youngest students in kindergarten can finally get in on the cardboard action too. \r\n\r\nWith $$ pretty tight this year, and looking the same (or tighter...) for next year, these tools open up a whole new way of making with cardboard-- some of the cheapest and most accessible material around.

Rabbit!\" was the perfect mentor text to kick off our opinion writing unit! Students from Kindergarten to fifth grade all shared whether they thought the main character was a duck or a rabbit and gave reasons to support their opinion. Everyone was able to participate including English Language Learners and students with limited verbal or writing ability. \r\n\r\nThen we moved on to our next book, \"Facts vs. Opinions vs. Robots\" which provided a concrete understanding of the difference between facts and opinions in a fun and engaging way. There was a lot of practice sharing opinions verbally and then writing opinions with a topic sentence and supporting reasons. We talked about giving strong reasons to support our opinions which include details, comparisons and adjectives. \r\n\r\nAttached are pictures of some of the opinion pieces my second grade students published at the end of the unit.

Students are excited every Friday when they get to use their team's points to pick out prizes. I give every student play money and they carefully look at the prizes that cost 1 cent, 2 cents and 3 cents. They think about how cute the stretchy sloths are compared to how cool the slime is and check to see if they have enough money for both. I notice that often students will use their money to buy prizes for siblings and parents. It makes me happy that our team store gives them the ability to be generous and express their affection for family members.\r\n\r\nThroughout the week students can earn points as a team by putting away their work, coming to their spots on the carpet or lining up at voice level 0. Students can also earn points by translating for others in the class, doing extra cleaning tasks or doing a good job in our Specials: Music, PE, Library and Art. All year we have been working on teamwork and having these prizes as incentives makes it all the more fun for my students. \r\n\r\nI also asked for bubble guns which I bring out to recess to celebrate when we reach goals as a team.

Without your generosity my students would be stuck with what they call \"boring\" colors and quickly no colors at all. Without the filament our 3d printer is nothing more then a cool tool connecting dust. Thank you so much for keeping this amazing opportunity available for my students. Without you this wouldn't be possible. In the pictures you can see some of their creations and what happens when something fails.

The lefty scissors are so fancy, sometimes I catch my right-handed students sneaking them out of the drawer for a try! \r\n\r\nThe \"desperately needed marker refresh\" has been a game changer for everyone, but especially my youngest students (K-2) who are so glad they don't have to try to make dried out markers color anymore! This past week, kinder and first grade has been using markers to practice drawing different types on lines. They LOVE visiting the marker box for brand new juicy markers.\r\n\r\nLast but certainly not least, my 3rd graders have been the first to embark on the adventure of all things latch hooking. When I showed one class of 3rd graders images of finished latch hook projects to introduce the medium, several students' jaws dropped. They were SO excited to give it a try. I am impressed with how quickly students have picked up the skill! It's tricky at first, but once they get the hang of it, it's so fun to watch them progress and, best of all, help each other (a teacher's dream!). I've had students giving up their recesses to come visit the art room for extra latch hooking. I am currently working out a system for students to borrow latch hooks over the weekend because there have been so many requests! I can't wait to try out latch hooking at other grade levels-- this is definitely a fan favorite so far! \r\n\r\nIt simply wouldn't have been possible without your generosity-- thank you so much for providing these resources for our art classroom at Glenfair here in Portland.","fullyFundedDate":1766527677154,"projectUrl":"project/bits-and-bobs-for-art-class/9964983/","projectTitle":"Bits and Bobs for Art Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Blair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9932546_orig.png?crop=1184,1184,x0,y252&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757131695095","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/art-with-ms-blair"},{"teacherId":3376946,"projectId":9544759,"letterContent":"The kids made keychains with their names in them.
