My scholars were most excited to decorate their planners with pens that erase. They had so much joy playing with the pens to personalize their planners. In our class, we are using the planners to take notes for our reading intervention groups and to track expectations and assignments. Scholars on my learning support caseload also use these planners to track their growth in reaching their IEP goals. \r\n\r\nI work with middle school students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade to help them reach personalized goals. These materials have been used to help our classroom run smoothly and efficiently. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, I began teaching a reading intervention class this year. This class is designed to help scholars who are reading below grade level grow their reading, writing, and comprehension skills. They truly enjoy the opportunity to take notes with pens that erase. Some enjoy color-coding their notes with the pens and decorating their pages with doodles and sketches to increase engagement during lessons. \r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity to my community and my scholar's education. Your kindness and philanthropy are greatly appreciated by myself and my scholars.","fullyFundedDate":1756226647967,"projectUrl":"project/own-your-success/9366422/","projectTitle":"Own Your Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bahl","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9376102_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y1008&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1702076865385","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9376102"},{"teacherId":9376102,"projectId":8765345,"letterContent":"The items that have been provided for my classroom have helped scholars with IEPs continue to grow with their individual goals. As I work with a diverse range of scholars in different grade levels, the fidgets have been utilized in different settings. When working with my scholars, I sit down with them and we review their IEP and discuss what they mean. Together, we work to create a plan for them to complete their IEP goals, as well as making a personalized layout for the steps to get there.\r\n\r\nI have an seventh grade scholar who has ADHD and really struggles to have a calm body in the classroom. This scholar will tap his pen or pencil throughout the lesson which distracts peers and results in teacher redirection. When redirected, the scholar grows frustrated and it interrupts classroom learning. When I showed the fidgets to the scholar, the individual said that they don't realize when they are fidgeting until it's brought to attention. This scholar perused the collection of fidgets and has been carrying a marble mat during the schooldays with him since choosing one. The scholar was interested in the marble mat because they had never seen one before. The marble mats are quiet and they provide an alternative way to direct the scholars fidgeting.","fullyFundedDate":1732027340157,"projectUrl":"project/our-fidgeting-is-distracting-our-learnin/8765345/","projectTitle":"Our Fidgeting Is Distracting Our Learning!
