I would not be able to support my students in their artistic endeavors without your help.\r\n\r\nPart of our curriculum is learning to create prints through printmaking. This is attainable through secondary means such as using an object with paint as a stamp, but for my students to see the full printmaking experience of using brayers which produces the best results, YOU made it possible and I want to say thank you for opening more doors of artistic endeavors and possibilities for my students to explore.\r\n\r\nMy students are using the brayers to create texturized ink transfers with objects such as leaves. They have also used the styrofoam to create their own shapes and create positive and negative space images.

I am sharing with your one of our most excited project which involved using washable markers to create a water based ink transfer from foil onto paper. Afterwards, students created manikins figures as well as others shapes to glue onto their original marker background. The results were phenomenal! One of my students instead of creating a manikin saw and dog image with his own marker transfer and drew the dog within...simply amazing!\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your contribution.

The new seating rug has created a warm, structured spot where all of my students can gather for lessons, stories, and discussions. Having this shared area has already made a big difference in helping students feel connected and ready to learn together. The storage carts and organizers have allowed us to keep supplies easily accessible, which means students are taking more ownership of their learning materials and our classroom stays neat and welcoming.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new resources, their faces lit up with excitement. They immediately noticed how the seating rug gave everyone their own space, and they were thrilled to help set up the storage carts. It was wonderful to see their pride in building their own classroom environment. The whiteboard easel has quickly become a favorite tool, students love using it during math problem-solving and small group reading activities.\r\n\r\nWith these materials in place, my students are able to focus more on learning and less on searching for supplies or finding space to work. We are currently working on building stronger independent and group learning routines, and these tools are helping us reach that goal every day. Thank you for giving my students the chance to learn in a classroom where they feel comfortable, supported, and inspired.","fullyFundedDate":1746786187393,"projectUrl":"project/helping-students-learn-in-comfort-and-or/9283165/","projectTitle":"Helping Students Learn in Comfort and Order","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pizarro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9295744_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753181687058","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9295744"},{"teacherId":8854897,"projectId":9092455,"letterContent":"I can't begin to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support in providing my students with kiln fire clay. It was a great learning experience for my students to identify the differences between the traditional air dry clay they had been previously using in comparison to the kiln fire clay. Most students immediately identified differences such as texture, color, and smell. Additionally, I was able to teach students proper clay techniques such as coling which is much easier with kiln fire clay instead of air dry clay (air dry clay tends to break and crumble more easier).

Your contributions have made a tangible and meaningful difference in my students' daily learning experiences, and I am thrilled to share the impact of your gifts.\r\nEach morning, my students begin their day with a Daily Math Review, and the Giant Magnetic Foam Ten Frames have been instrumental in getting them actively involved. With these, students can manipulate large counters to solve problems, visually demonstrating their thinking process to the entire class. The Magnetic Ten Frame Set has been equally beneficial in small groups, helping my students build number sense, decompose numbers, and improve their addition and subtraction skills in an engaging and interactive way. The dice and flashcards make these exercises feel like a game, enhancing their enthusiasm for learning.\r\nYour generosity also extended beyond math and into literacy. The hand2mind Reading Readiness Activity Set has been a fantastic resource for my struggling readers, strengthening their phonics skills and word-building confidence. For my higher-achieving students, this set has provided an opportunity for spelling challenges and stretch goals, keeping them engaged and pushing their abilities even further.\r\nOne of the trickier concepts my students face is telling time, as they rarely encounter analog clocks in their daily lives. The Torlam Learning Clock Flip Chart has been invaluable in bridging this gap. Its side-by-side digital and analog display allows students to make clear connections between the two formats, deepening their understanding. The Learning Clock Task Cards provide real-world application through word problems, which I can tailor to meet each student's needs.\r\nAnother essential math concept that requires hands-on learning is fractions. The Magnetic Fraction Circles and Strips have given my students a concrete way to visualize how parts make up a whole. These precise, durable pieces make fractions more accessible, especially for those who struggle with abstract concepts. Plus, their magnetic feature keeps them from getting lost—a bonus for both me and my students!\r\nBeyond academics, you have also helped support the emotional well-being of my students. Every morning, we begin with a Social Emotional Learning video, and one of our favorites includes positive affirmations for kids. The motivational stress balls have provided an additional outlet for students who may face challenges throughout the day. Whether they need a way to release frustration or simply a tool to help them focus, these stress balls—complete with encouraging words—have been a wonderful resource.\r\nBecause of you, my classroom is a more engaging, supportive, and enriching space. Your generosity has empowered my students with the tools they need to succeed academically and emotionally. These materials are being put to great use every single day, and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness.\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1738740899601,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-young-minds-hands-on-tools-f/9022530/","projectTitle":"Empowering Young Minds: Hands-On Tools for Growth","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9453330"},{"teacherId":8854897,"projectId":8607912,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for you generous donations...I can't begin to explain how grateful I am.

Then, we draw them on a \"Doodling\" graphic organizer. \r\n My great scholars are excited about their new reading resources in our \"Reading Nook\". Our \"Reading Nook\" is the first learning center students go to in the morning. They love reading their new books with their classmates. My great scholars are integrating the resources into other learning centers such as the Art Center . For example, they love stacking the cushions and sitting on them while working on their activities. \r\n Our new reading strategy is \"Turn & Talk\". Turn and Talk is a collaborative learning method where great scholars will have an opportunity to have a discussion about a topic, content , and/or a skill with a partner. They can utilize this strategy across the curriculum. But, my goal is for students to use it during the Shared Reading and Reading Nook area of the classroom. The benefits of using this strategy are: creating meaningful connections, brainstorming to access background knowledge, and answering a question related to key content.","fullyFundedDate":1729863453126,"projectUrl":"project/roaring-readers-book-nook-/8792046/","projectTitle":"Roaring Readers Book Nook !","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Joyner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8686221_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694298100822","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8686221"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34857","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":574,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":82,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":68.2,"schoolId":34857,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ingleside Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ingleside Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/norfolk-public-schools/ingleside-elementary-school/34857"}
