The moment they saw the supplies, their faces lit up with excitement. They were eager to explore, share, and dive into learning in ways that weren't possible before. These resources have created a more engaging and hands-on environment that encourages curiosity and collaboration every day.\r\n\r\nOne of the highlights has been watching my students confidently use the new tools during our reading and small group lessons. They're more motivated to participate, and it's incredible to see their growth and independence shine through. The addition of these materials has not only strengthened their academic skills but has also boosted their confidence as learners.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has truly made a lasting difference in our classroom. Because of you, my students have access to meaningful learning experiences that inspire them to reach their goals. We are deeply grateful for your support and for believing in the power of education.","fullyFundedDate":1753545072372,"projectUrl":"project/paragraph-party-lets-get-in-formation/9489997/","projectTitle":"Paragraph Party: Let’s Get in Formation!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Marzouk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10033106_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747781937939","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10033106"},{"teacherId":152544,"projectId":9445250,"letterContent":"OMG! This might be my favorite project ever. I hoped my students would love the door jambs, but it is much more. They could not stop looking at them and getting their friends to stop by our classroom door to tell them about each one. We have had perfect attendance each day since getting them. Every day we achieve perfect attendance a different student gets to place the door jamb up. The other day we were one student away from perfect attendance. When that student came through the day, the entire class cheered for that student and told him that he could hang the perfect attendance jamb. He was all smiles for the rest of the day.

My new second graders are doing things this year that they didn't do last school year. They have to show their math thinking using whiteboards and markers daily. Having the extra dry-erase markers really helps, especially when students erase as much as they do. Also, pencil grips were needed for little hands that are still learning how to write. Second graders do a lot of writing compared to first graders. Most students are still learning letter placements, like not reversing or writing certain letters backwards. They also need to change the size of their letters to make their writing neater. Thank you for every item from this funded project.

This touchscreen has enhanced instruction, from providing visuals to help students while they are writing sentences on an assessment, to showing a math video for a new strategy. All of my students are able to move around the room with the folding stools and the mobile touchscreen.

In the past, it has been difficult for some students to keep their interactive notebooks. The fact that they would have to cut the resources or anchor charts to glue into their notebook for studying was challenging. Having seen this idea to print the anchor charts on these printing labels was freeing. It allowed me to focus more on the instruction and learning experience instead of student having a meltdown because they made mistakes when cutting or it didn't look like their teacher's notebook.

For example, students can access educational apps that break lessons into smaller, manageable steps, use text-to-speech for reading support, and even practice social skills through interactive activities.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students most about this new technology is the sense of independence and fun it brings. They love being able to complete activities at their own pace and celebrate their progress with instant feedback. It makes learning feel like an achievement every time!\r\n\r\nOne student, [Student's Name or \"one of our students\"], who used to struggle with reading, now eagerly logs in to practice phonics and sight words. The smile on their face when they complete a level is priceless! Another student who is nonverbal is now using a communication app to express themselves for the very first time.
