Having pencils available for my students when they walk in the room helps with being able to start class right away. The wipes are so needed since we are in a mobile unit. This helps with not having a sink. We use them every day. I LOVE my shredder. This allows me to shred sensitive papers with names on them right away. The kids like using the fidget/worry stones. They help students focus. We use the dry erase sleeves a lot for stations work. The story cubes help us generate new story ideas.

Our classroom thanks you for your generosity. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for suppling my students with headphones with microphones. This makes it easier to us practice for our big WIDA test in February. Having these headphones has made a difference as it allows us to practice the speaking part. Students have been practicing recording themselves. They have had to answer questions about themselves and Veterans Day. Having the student be able to practice for this test year-long will make a big difference in February.","fullyFundedDate":1755957281777,"projectUrl":"project/fearless-english-speaking/9410833/","projectTitle":"Fearless English Speaking","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Franklin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8530071_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755917114145","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8530071"},{"teacherId":8530071,"projectId":9410949,"letterContent":"Flexible seating has become a wanted addition to many classrooms. Having flexible seating in my classroom has made such a difference. My students love being able to select what seat best suits them for class. \r\n\r\nThe extra wobble stools really help students that have trouble sitting still focus. I love the foot desk band. It really helps my one student with his bouncing. The chair bands help as well. \r\n\r\nI enjoy having a wobble stool to use at a student's desk. This keeps me from squatting down on my tippy toes. The stools are just perfect.","fullyFundedDate":1753657703328,"projectUrl":"project/ive-got-the-wiggles/9410949/","projectTitle":"I’ve Got the Wiggles!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Franklin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8530071_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755917114145","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8530071"},{"teacherId":8530071,"projectId":9507206,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the back to school supplies. You have no idea how much they will be needed throughout the year. We are already using the tape rolls for notebooks. When they are out we will use the glue sticks. \r\n\r\nI am so excited to have 6 colors of highlighters. It makes highlighting different topics possible. I am so thankful for the mechanical pencils. Many students are like me and need to have a sharpened pencil at all times. This helps keep students writing and away from the pencil sharpener. I am so happy to have new dry erase markers as we use them daily for sentences dictation. The laminator is used all the time.

However, I needed more decorations. I am a person that loves motivational posters. These posters add so much color to my room. \r\n\r\nNot only do the posters brighten up my room, they display important messages. We try to teach kind humans and help empower a belief of goodness in each student. These posters allow me to help instill compassion. It is something we have to model to our students daily.

The result was many different pencil holder ideas. \r\n\r\nThis project also supply's me with new markers and colored pencils for the many projects we plan to do throughout the year.
