Students were also able to learn about the complexities of designing an item for someone else (with the pencil cases) and learn about indigenous art (with the bark paintings).\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our classrooms' creativity!","fullyFundedDate":1757077202360,"projectUrl":"project/mx-shelton-ms-trudeaus-classroom-bo/9658140/","projectTitle":"Mx.

For example, having the handheld sharpeners at every desk eliminates all those extra transitions which interrupt learning and can add up.\r\nWe have been using the math dice and multiplication pop-its daily to bring fun into our math learning. In math class, students who are academically behind their peers are especially enamored with the multiplication pop-its because it gives them a highly coveted tool that they don't mind using in front of grade-proficient peers. \r\nTaking these little things off our list of to do's has a huge impact.","fullyFundedDate":1755021715994,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-school-basics/9467607/","projectTitle":"Back to School Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Georgi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2085406_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724254226867","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/brianna-georgi"},{"teacherId":2085406,"projectId":9089161,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and giving the gift of reading to our students.
