Your donations have helped our classroom tremendously! The students are using the whiteboards and headphones every day. \r\n It is wonderful to have whiteboards that have handwriting lines on them. It is really helping each, and every student pay more attention and focus on where their lines are and where the letters must touch. They are very durable and easy to use. \r\n The new headphones have really helped the students who weren't able to bring their own headphones from home. This has provided so much for students who don't have as much. \r\n We are very thankful for the support we receive from donors like you!","fullyFundedDate":1746831104594,"projectUrl":"project/learning-is-ear-resistable-because-wer/9123209/","projectTitle":"Learning is Ear-resistable, Because We're Never \"Board!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kate Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2922557_orig.jpg?crop=200,200,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742990885117","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/katethomas"},{"teacherId":2637915,"projectId":9284651,"letterContent":"These school supplies helped us to be stocked and set for the start of 2nd grade.

The highlighters, glue sticks, scissors and whiteboard paddles are kept in a community table basket that each table must take care of. \r\n\r\nWe are so grateful to each donor for these necessary supplies used each and every day.

The songs reinforce learning in math, social studies, science, grammar, writing and reading lessons. We sing the songs and use the vocabulary learned from the songs, even after the songs are over. I love when I introduce a new topic or unit of study and my students first question is, \"is there a Flocabulary for that?\"\r\n\r\nFor the beginning of the school year, we have been using the addition and subtraction songs to help build fact fluency.\r\n\r\nMy students and I are beyond grateful for this fun, educational learning tool!

The teachers have had to make some adjustments including teaching multiple grade levels and/or multiple subjects. All of these materials were able to be utilized regardless. \r\n\r\nWe have now been in school two weeks and our students have used the dry erase markers and erasers numerous times to work out problems on our white board tables. The pre-sharpened pencils are available when students do not come prepared and hence means their learning is not stifled. Batteries are being used for the calculators that the students rely on to check math work. Colored pencils are already being used by all students for various projects in all subjects. Math and Science teachers have the graph paper ready for those units to practicing graphing and tesselations. Of course, we are trying to build morale, so the motivational stickers are helping as students love adding these to notebooks and water bottles. \r\n\r\nStudents have been most appreciative to have these materials readily available.\r\n\r\nAs teachers are adjusting to our new teaching expectations, we are always looking for ways to benefit our students and the areas they need support.
