My students love the white boards and the markers. The photos will speak for themselves. If it were possible for the kids to take the white boards home and do their homework on them - they would!!! Students who were reluctant about doing practice math problems on paper will now work out math problems on the white boards. \r\n\r\nThe biggest use of the white boards is during math time. The white boards provide an easy tool for me to walk around and conduct mini assessments and provide instant feedback. Students are not embarassed because they can simply wipe away any errors and try the problem over again without incident.\r\n\r\nThank you again. This gift has made a hit in my classroom with my students. I already see improvement in my kids' math performance and willingness to try.","fullyFundedDate":1777990381645,"projectUrl":"project/write-in-style/10153978/","projectTitle":"Write in Style","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leazer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3763355_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1603605765155","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3763355"},{"teacherId":3763355,"projectId":10198696,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the folders for my students. They have made a difference for the kids when it comes to organizing their materials. These sturdy, colorful plastic folders are being used for students' official homework folders. Students bring the folders back and forth to school every day. They are durable and fun and will last the entire school year.\r\n\r\nThe other color coordinated folders are working well also. As an example, kids know the purple folders are used for their math materials. The green folders are used for their Word Study (ELA) assignments and work. \r\n\r\nThese folders make life easier for the kids because they can manage their work on their own.

The students truly enjoy opening the boxes of materials, sorting and dividing everything, and decorating their notebooks.

Before, clothing was stored on long shelves with no organization. Our closet serves students ranging from 3-year-olds in Pre-K to growing middle schoolers, so finding the right size often took time, effort, and some frustration.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our clothing closet is now much more organized. The shelf dividers allow us to sort clothing by size, making it easier for staff to quickly find what students need. The impact is felt nearly daily when a student needs a change of clothes. Instead of searching through piles of clothing, staff can quickly find the right items and help students get back to learning.\r\n\r\nFinally, thank you for the snacks! They are always needed for our students.\r\n\r\nI am beyond grateful for your support and the positive difference it has brought to our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1772550322900,"projectUrl":"project/warm-ready-winter-gear-closet-organ/10044229/","projectTitle":"Warm & Ready: Winter Gear + Closet Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marissa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8020492_orig.jpg?crop=1920,1920,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693513548572","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8020492"},{"teacherId":3919708,"projectId":9968291,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of my Combinatorial Play and Learning project. The children were very excited when the boxes arrived and we opened them together. The materials included in this project are adding a new depth to almost every subject area.\r\nThe rolls of paper are being used as part of our daily writing, we have a handwriting time after breakfast. After the children finish practice writing their names and letters, they can then free draw on the table. This is a nice way to begin our day, and the children have amazing conversations with one another. Sometimes there maybe 5 different conversations going on at once or one day someone announced that spiders can fly. No one disagreed with this statement and everyone then started to share what they know about spiders.\r\nThe scooters are a huge hit, we use them both in the hallway and on the playground. The children can go backwards, forward and spin in circles. The do-dot markers, paint and paper have expanded our art supplies nicely, giving the children a lot of painting opportunities. The cereal dispenser was a slightly odd request but it has made a great sensory center when filled with painted chickpeas and dyed popcorn. The children turn the knob, fill and sort bowls by color and size, filter out the popcorn using a colander, and then refill the container and repeat the process.\r\nThank you for supporting my classroom and your support of public education!","fullyFundedDate":1772807503490,"projectUrl":"project/combinatorial-play-and-learning/9968291/","projectTitle":"Combinatorial Play and Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morrell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3919708_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708992263376","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/n-morrell"},{"teacherId":3919708,"projectId":10150916,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my Books By Catherine Rayner project.

Watercolor painting has produced some beautiful pictures and the activity has been exciting for the children to see the colors swirl and blend together.

The children were immediately fascinated by our new classroom Beaver Bot! They helped me unpack it and we immediately started to use the practice pieces of cardboard that were included in the box. Our first independent project was a rainbow, followed by the children painting on cardboard that I had drawn lines on the back. After the paint dried we flipped the pieces over and cut on the lines to make puzzles that the children could take home. After that the children drew or painted different figurines, some made people others made creatures one child made a polar bear!\r\n\r\nThe Beaver Bot takes a bit of strength to push the cardboard through which is perfect for little hands that need to be strengthened.

The children are very interested in looking at the insects and ocean life squares up close and on the light table. The table illuminates the bugs nicely, especially the iridescent ones. The children sort them into a variety of categories, that sometimes need an explanation as to why they have sorted certain ones together, but makes sense after being explained. The bugs are stored in a very heavy wooden lazy susan style tray. It takes team work to get them from the bookcase to the table, the children like the challenge of heavy lifting. They take the bugs out sort them into different categories and then get to spin the tray round and round. When the children are using the bugs they have very interesting conversations. Since they are four, there may be as many topics being discussed as there are children, and on other days the conversation can be very focused on a single quality that each insect has like color or number of wings.\r\n\r\nThank you for your support of public schools and for helping to provide materials to my students that I would not be able to give to them by myself.","fullyFundedDate":1765968130564,"projectUrl":"project/are-all-insects-bugs/9894245/","projectTitle":"Are All Insects Bugs?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morrell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3919708_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708992263376","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/n-morrell"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_37752","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":538,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":84,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.1,"schoolId":37752,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Anna F Doerfler School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Anna F Doerfler School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/milwaukee-public-schools/anna-f-doerfler-school/37752"}
