I can't begin to tell you how helpful these workbooks have been. First of all, it has been a huge time-saver for the adults--we haven't had to spend time at the copier to get the papers we needed. The kids have been thrilled to have their own drawing books, and you can see the progress over time as you look at the beginning of the book versus where we are now. We will continue to use these into the second semester, as students' fine motor skills improve and their hands get stronger.

Each class that has had their chance to get acquainted with the new instruments has shown quick improvement to their playing from last school year! The new Ukuleles keep their tuning, stay strung and have a wonderfully warm and sweet tone color. \r\n\r\nThe difference for my students is night and day. We have made more progress in three weeks of playing than we did in twice as much time with our old class set of instruments. The time and effort that my students and I were putting to making sure the old instruments were still functioning is now going to improving on our playing and having fun with music.

The games included in this project are a huge hit in the classroom! They are engaging, educational, and promote social skills. The kids have access to them before school, during centers and on designated game days. They learn to take turns, and have good sportsmanship. They learn responsibility by keeping track of the game materials, cleaning them, and storing them. We have even learned to shake hands, establish eye contact, and compliment each other after a good game! You have made our classroom so much fun!

We are able to store them where all four kindergarten classes can access them, whenever we have a student in need of enrichment or a playful way to reset. Our students have been delighted to explore the offerings, and we have seen a great motivation for students to learn the skills they need to be successful when they play. Many of the visual-spatial experiences have brought out previously unidentified skills in students who struggle with more traditional schoolwork.\r\n\r\nWe so appreciate these gifts, and they are even more special as they are in memory of Mrs. Bradford, who loved on Harbor View students for years. While these students will never personally know her, we hope we can be the same light to them that Rachel was to us.","fullyFundedDate":1733861507750,"projectUrl":"project/games-for-strengths-and-supports/8985927/","projectTitle":"Games for Strengths and Supports","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Megan Kilb","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp578823_orig.png?crop=416,416,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745331526682","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kilbm"},{"teacherId":2904766,"projectId":8488122,"letterContent":"What a wonderful project to get the year started! With such a small space and so many children using our playground, these extra activities have been very fun for the children on the playground. They love to climb under the hideout and stay cool on a warm day, or pretend to hibernate in the winter. The ramp set have been very popular, with the kids using toy cars, balls, and even dinosaurs to walk the ramps. The mud kitchen adds an element of dramatic play to the mix, where the kids can go to the market to complete their shopping list to make dinner. All of the equipment is sturdy, which is important since it is handled by many little hands throughout the day. \r\n\r\nWe all appreciate your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1730392085101,"projectUrl":"project/recess-reset/8488122/","projectTitle":"Recess Reset!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Van de Erve","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2904766_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690974317119","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-vandeerve"},{"teacherId":578823,"projectId":8498933,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to the literacy efforts in our classroom! Literacy is a passion of mine, and it leads me to lots of learning outside of school. That learning wanted me to have more authentic texts for my students to read, and we wanted to increase the amount of accessible nonfiction in our classroom library. Enter, the KidLit Nonfiction Set.\r\n\r\nThese books cover a variety of topics and have detailed photographs to accompany the accessible text. Students can read these on their own or together, and enjoy looking at the pictures as well. This has been beneficial for several of my boys, in particular, because many of them will reach for nonfiction when given the option. \r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting students in our community.
