It adds so much to our library area! I never get tired of seeing the children in the library choosing books and sharing them with their classmates.\r\n\r\nThe Scholastic science books that you donated provide the children more books to select from! I love that the books are just the right size for the children to read as emergent readers! When I began teaching, I was amazed by how much students enjoy informational books with real photographs! \r\n\r\nI use the colorful new bins for the children's center activities. Each bin contains materials for a different activity, such as science, writing, and building. They are the perfect size for the materials and for the children to take to their station during centers. Centers are a favorite time for the students! They get the opportunity to rotate through the centers with a different classroom friend where they build social skills and learn through fun, hands-on activities! I can't thank you enough for the bins! Like our old library rug, the old bins were worn out and I had to discard many of them.","fullyFundedDate":1787148698550,"projectUrl":"project/a-beloved-classroom-library-with-a-rug/10453292/","projectTitle":"A Beloved Classroom Library with a Rug!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Voreis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6888037"},{"teacherId":2939379,"projectId":10151231,"letterContent":"This project has greatly impacted my speech therapy sessions. Students are more engaged with literature they enjoy. More language is generated when kids enjoy using the material. \r\n\r\nAs a school speech pathologist, I also find it worthwhile to create manipulatives and extension activities that build on the foundational skills or narrative from the story. The project also funded a laminator and lamination sheets to ensure that the material created can be used multiple times. Prolonging the life of these materials allows me to spend more time creating new, novel activities and building my collection, thereby supporting all students' needs.","fullyFundedDate":1773840053213,"projectUrl":"project/narrative-interventions-speech-therapy/10151231/","projectTitle":"Narrative Interventions: Speech Therapy with Engaging Literature","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jessi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2939379_orig.jpg?crop=1443,1443,x1235,y382&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1703005366769","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mmacademy"},{"teacherId":8477395,"projectId":10515161,"letterContent":"The donated supplies provided my students with meaningful opportunities to collaborate, work together, and contribute to a more inclusive and supportive classroom environment.

Students earned opportunities to select prizes from our school store by demonstrating positive behaviors, following classroom directions, and participating in community service projects. These incentives encouraged students to take greater responsibility for their choices and contributed to a positive classroom environment.\r\nThis project supported student success by providing additional visual representations and hands-on materials during lessons.

During reading, students read independently, with partners, and as a class while discussing characters, key ideas, and evidence from the text. The variety of books has helped students find topics that interest them and become more excited about reading. The science poster set has also provided helpful visual reminders of important science concepts and vocabulary, making it easier for students to review and connect what they are learning.\r\n\r\nThese resources have made our lessons more engaging and meaningful while giving students more opportunities to read, discuss, and apply their learning.
