With the card stock I acquired with this donor's choose, I have been able to create a monthly calendar for each student that outlines the school schedule for the month, as well as upcoming tests, quizzes, and projects they may want reminders for or advanced notice about. They've really shown an increase in preparedness for these with the visual reminders.\r\n\r\nThe totes help to organize materials we are using in class, or prepare materials for upcoming labs. For instance, next week we will be learning about the Excretory System and working on a lab to reconstruct a kidney using common craft supplies. These totes will allow me to place all necessary materials out for students to collect to begin setting up for their experiments.\r\n\r\nThank you, as always, for your continued support of our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1756897327808,"projectUrl":"project/organization-helps-the-class-thrive/9523029/","projectTitle":"Organization Helps the Class Thrive","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Berlin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9158317_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693015252292","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9158317"},{"teacherId":9580875,"projectId":9223815,"letterContent":"Students have been able to express themselves creatively through math and it has made a world of a difference.
