We use the materials that were gifted daily. Our kindergarten workbooks actually don't hold pencil very well, so we have been using the markers daily for working in these. We love to use the crayons, colored pencils, and scissors for other supplemental projects, like for our unit on plants and how they grow. They still get excited any time I pull out the crayons, colored pencils, etc. (I will be giving all of them art supplies for Christmas, because it's something that is accessible to all of them, regardless of their English/reading levels).\r\n\r\nThe books are beautiful not only for allowing the students to see reflections of themselves, but we also use them as discussion pieces. One of the challenges with ESL students is getting them to feel comfortable speaking, and the vivid pictures in the books that show pieces of their experiences, help to do this. \r\n\r\nOf course, comfort is important, and the cushions and rugs give my younger students a place to sit (the chairs and tables in my room are too high for them), but my older students also enjoy them. I really try to create a safe and welcoming environment for them, and I appreciate your support in doing so.","fullyFundedDate":1726037925292,"projectUrl":"project/inspiring-our-multilingual-future/8747148/","projectTitle":"Inspiring Our Multilingual Future","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Krol","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5770908_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1535223887337","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-krol"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88707","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":278,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.9,"schoolId":88707,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pittsburgh Roosevelt K -5 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pittsburgh Roosevelt K -5","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/pittsburgh-public-schools/roosevelt-intermediate-school/88707"}
