I am incredibly grateful for your generosity in providing our students with math materials. \r\n\r\nThe resources have given my students the opportunity to make math more hands-on, engaging, and meaningful. The pouches have made the distribution of math materials more efficient and effective when working with the whole group or small groups. The pocket sleeves have been used to make white boards for each child to keep in their desks. The kids love using the 'white boards' as an alternative to paper and pencil. They are a great way for me to do informal assessing and check for understanding. The children use the headphones daily to work on supplemental math programs on the computer which allows for each child to work independently at their own level without distraction. The carpet has made my classroom feel warmer and more welcoming. The children gather on the carpet at least once a day for whole group instruction. \r\n\r\nYour generosity is giving my students more opportunities to develop confidence and problem-solving skills. Thank you for investing in my current/future students. I truly appreciate your kindness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1776401814615,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-math-minds-through-hands/10194112/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Math Minds Through Hands-On Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cotelesse","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10479211"},{"teacherId":10479665,"projectId":10196069,"letterContent":"I would like to sincerely thank you for your generous support of our classroom.

These games provide students with opportunities to practice important skills in a hands on way while building confidence and encouraging them to take an active role in their learning. \r\n Math games help students strengthen number sense, addition and subtraction. Reading games give students additional practice with phonics, Many of my students become more confident with math when they can practice addition and subtraction through fun, hands-on games rather than simply completing worksheets. They are able to build fluency, think through problems, and learn from their mistakes in a low-pressure environment. Letter-blend games are especially helpful because they give my students repeated practice putting sounds together and recognizing blends in words, which directly supports their reading and spelling skills.\r\n I love seeing students who may struggle during traditional lessons become excited and engaged when learning feels like a game. These activities give my students the extra practice they need while helping them develop confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning.vocabulary, sight words, comprehension, and reading fluency. Because students are learning through play, they are able to practice skills repeatedly without feeling like they are completing another worksheet or assignment.","fullyFundedDate":1776401607225,"projectUrl":"project/little-hands-big-discoveries-hands-on/10192055/","projectTitle":"Little Hands, Big Discoveries: Hands-On Learning for Second Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. D'Ambrosi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10478765_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1776140413090","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10478765"},{"teacherId":10479118,"projectId":10435021,"letterContent":"These donations have made a wonderful difference in our classroom!
