My students love their mini composition notebooks. Every time we write an SCR they take out their notebooks and get to work. It's perfect being able to keep them all in the same spot so they can look back and see their growth. This is something they will continue to use the entire year. \r\n\r\nThe students LOVED the colors and the cute size :) I used an Avery label and printed off a cover for them, and they got to decorate them to make them their own.\r\n\r\nThank you again for you generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1783285446270,"projectUrl":"project/our-next-big-idea-starts-on-a-blank-page/10351880/","projectTitle":"Our Next Big Idea Starts on a Blank Page!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sundin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8424212"},{"teacherId":7372234,"projectId":10071247,"letterContent":"Receiving these classroom supplies has made a meaningful difference in our classroom. The privacy folders give students a quiet space to focus during independent work, quizzes, and tests, helping reduce distractions. My students were excited to see the folders and quickly learned to use them whenever they needed extra focus. The Velcro dots have also helped us organize and label materials, making it easier for students to find what they need and keep our classroom neat.\r\n\r\nThe small broom has been especially helpful in teaching responsibility. Students can independently clean up pencil shavings, spills, and other little messes, helping them take pride in our shared classroom space. These supplies may seem simple, but they are helping my students become more independent, organized, and responsible each day.

These books have truly transformed the way my Pre-K students engage with reading and learning. Because the books are designed with sturdy pages and tactile elements, children are able to explore them independently and confidently, which builds their fine motor skills and encourages active participation. The bright colors, simple illustrations, and interactive features help capture their attention and make early literacy concepts like letter recognition, sounds, and counting both accessible and fun. Through guided lessons and learning centers, students are developing foundational skills in literacy, math, and science while also nurturing their curiosity and love for stories.\r\n\r\nReading time in our classroom has become a lively, hands-on experience. Children gather around to explore the sensory books, trace letters, count objects, and listen to the interactive sounds that reinforce their learning. Some of my students who were previously hesitant to engage with books are now eagerly reaching for their favorite titles, especially the counting touch-and-feel books and the classic storyboards. These books have also enriched our pretend play centers, where children use their new knowledge about doctors, houses, and bugs to role-play and deepen their understanding of the world around them. Your generous support has made a meaningful difference by creating a rich, multi-sensory learning environment that meets the developmental needs of every child.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping us bring these wonderful resources into our classroom. Your kindness is helping to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and a genuine love of reading in my students.","fullyFundedDate":1764712346151,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-interactive-board-books-for-pr/9631807/","projectTitle":"Sensory & Interactive Board Books for Pre-K","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Danna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3297199_orig.png?crop=1284,1284,x0,y547&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1688356604356","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3297199"},{"teacherId":3297199,"projectId":9340366,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom now has a wonderful collection of board books that support early learning in math, science, literacy, and social studies.

When the materials first arrived, their faces lit up with curiosity and joy, they couldn't wait to use the markers, lacing beads, and Picasso tiles! One memorable moment was during a sorting activity with sorting blocks, where students eagerly worked together to categorize colors and shapes, building both fine motor skills and early math understanding.\r\n\r\nWe have added magnet tiles to both our ABC and Math Centers. In the Math Center, students use the magnets on a magnetic board to create numbers out of the tiles, while at the ABC Center, they form letters from the alphabet. This has been a wonderful way to strengthen fine motor skills while also reinforcing number and letter recognition. In our Creativity Center, students have used \"Colors of The World\" skin tone markers to represent their own skin tones in drawings and jumbo crayons to create beautiful artwork, celebrating their unique identities.\r\n\r\nStudents are currently learning about and exploring patterns with linking cubes and beads, developing critical thinking and hand-eye coordination. At the end of our unit, these tools will be placed in centers for independent practice. These materials have truly transformed our classroom into a vibrant, interactive space where learning is fun and meaningful.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your support, it has made a lasting difference in my students' growth and enthusiasm for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746785917542,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-fine-motor-fun/9210260/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning: Fine Motor Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Danna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3297199_orig.png?crop=1284,1284,x0,y547&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1688356604356","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3297199"},{"teacherId":7372234,"projectId":9124801,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support!
