As soon as the packages arrived, I opened them right away. Oh their little eyes were filled with such excitement when I pulled the books out! The Percy Jackson series is one that many of them have started getting into, so having the whole series of graphic novels is so appreciated! One of my students speaks French and reads the novels in French. He has been enjoying the graphic novels, which allow him to practice his English while enjoying the story through pictures.\r\n\r\nOne thing that surprised me was how many of my boys wanted to read The Babysitters Club series. They were just as excited about those new books as my girls were. Reading can be such a challenging thing to get students to do, but high interest books makes it so much easier and enjoyable. I am happy that they will have plenty of books to look forward for the rest of the year and years to come!","fullyFundedDate":1768849038752,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-all/10026361/","projectTitle":"Books for All","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kilgore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp120549_orig.jpg?crop=283,283,x302,y204&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557790462388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kellykilgore"},{"teacherId":120549,"projectId":10030603,"letterContent":"Merci! Being a host school for our French NATO program has been a wonderful experience. It's been a few years since I have had one of the French students in my room, so I was excited to have the opportunity again this year. The student I have is incredibly bright and thriving so far this year. It is incredible seeing the passion and determination that he has. He's a literal sponge soaking everything we do up every day. \r\n\r\nThere are opportunities throughout the day that the students have to be able to do independent reading. He often brings his own book from home, but I wanted to be able to provide him with a selection of books in French in our room as well. When he saw the pile of books, his eyes lit up! Several of them are dual language, so they are written in English and French, which will allow him the opportunity to practice his English, which is something he is passionate about. \r\n\r\nLast week, I learned that I was going to get another French student later this month! I am excited that we will have a collection of books for him to use as soon as he gets here! I have also let the French teacher know that any of the students in the program are welcome to borrow them at any time to read.

And you get headphones! And you get headphones!\" I am so thankful that my students who would benefit from having the headphones now have access to them. As they become comfortable wearing them around their peers, more and more of them want them. Some use them because they are overstimulated and overwhelmed by the noise around them, others really need them to help tune out all the background noise so they can focus on their work. \r\n\r\nI have also reached out to the head of our special education department to let her know about the new editions! We have several students in our school who will truly benefit from having them. So I have asked her to let me know about specific students in our building now, or as time passes, that would benefit from them. That way we can ensure that the students who need them the most have them!","fullyFundedDate":1771102885795,"projectUrl":"project/regulation-station/9893087/","projectTitle":"Regulation Station","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kilgore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp120549_orig.jpg?crop=283,283,x302,y204&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557790462388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kellykilgore"},{"teacherId":120549,"projectId":9638671,"letterContent":"Thank you, thank you, thank you!! When people ask what makes the biggest impact in the classroom, I often tell them that the little things do. It's the pencils and supplies that make the room run smooth! We were able to restock their supply pouches with the materials they needed, so I am not starting each lesson by having them say they are missing things. The Expo markers and erasers have been the BIGGEST help though. I used to pass out tissues or paper towels when we used our boards, but now they each have their own eraser, which is so much easier. They work great and are reusable, which makes it even better. \r\n\r\nThere are times where I prefer them to do their work on paper so I can see their thinking, but often times, doing it on their boards is all we need! Earlier this month we played Jeopardy to review for our test and the students were all able to respond, so I could see all of their thinking! It's also a great way to throw up a review question here and there without needing to make copies or waste paper! \r\n\r\nThese supplies will be more than enough for the rest of this year and hopefully carry us into next year as well!","fullyFundedDate":1764701651283,"projectUrl":"project/more-learning-less-waste/9638671/","projectTitle":"More Learning, Less Waste","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kilgore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp120549_orig.jpg?crop=283,283,x302,y204&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557790462388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kellykilgore"},{"teacherId":8216464,"projectId":9809563,"letterContent":"Our occupational therapy sessions have been transformed thanks to the generosity of our DonorsChoose donors, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.
