My goal was to create opportunties for the students to have hands-on experiences rather than just read about science concepts. They are enjoying the tangible aspect of the things they are learning! I have all of the human body displays available for them to use during free-time and they like taking apart the human puzzles and reassembling them. They also really like the various props they get to wear so that they embody the lesson as the roles they are simulating.

I have 30 students and we have to clean our hands several times a day... our desks also need to be cleaned every day. The wipes ensure that we disinfect properly and quickly, so that we don't take too much time away from learning during transitions.\r\n\r\nUsing wipes also allows me to train the students to be independent. I train leaders to hand out and manage the process so that it goes quickly.

For every type of math they learn this year, they've been able to work hands-on with something to help them understand it in a tangible way. One of my favorite things is that when they have free time, they choose to play with the math supplies to set up \"shops\" to sell things to other students. It definitely helps math to be more interesting and engaging.

These books are short, cute stories that introduce phonics rules. They have characters and a storyline that makes sense to kids and engages them in remembering these tricky English rules. \r\n\r\nIn my class, I have been able to read several of these books so far as we have introduced new phonics skills. The kids are always intent in listening and excited when we get to pull out a new one. It makes them want to learn more and more phonics rules! When we refer back to the rule, I can reference the book, making those brain connections more powerful. Our favorite one has been The Overly Controlling Bossy R. I am excited to teach them more of these rules as well throughout the year.","fullyFundedDate":1744257433570,"projectUrl":"project/phonics-friends-and-their-rules/9237207/","projectTitle":"Phonics Friends and Their Rules","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dupras","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1930948_orig.jpg?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1595309306296","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1930948"},{"teacherId":1930948,"projectId":9177839,"letterContent":"My class has been loving all of the amazing materials provided in this project. We were able to start the year off with brand new pencil boxes for each student. This made them feel loved and welcome from the very first day of school. We use the tree stump stools every day for sitting in during partner work and reading. They are an adorable component to our classroom, and very comfortable and functional. The kids always ask me to go sit on them in our reading nook. The games have been an amazing component to our Fun Friday free time and have gotten students off of technology and playing together. I have enjoyed teaching them how to play the games and watching them work together in a fun space. Mancala is one that has been a favorite of mine to watch them learn, as I loved this game growing up as well. \r\n\r\nWithout your support, my students wouldn't have the opportunity for all of these wonderful extras. They deserve to have beautiful, nice things and spaces in their classroom and have treated our room with the highest of respect.
