The pictures, stories, characters ... Do you remember the self confidence, fascination and wonder that filled you when you could read the words on the pages! There's nothing like that in the world. Building a classroom library was the very first thing I started when I became a teacher. The amazing books produced by talented writers come out all of the time. They'd be out of reach if it wasn't for generous people like you who want more for the upcoming generation. Thank you so very much for putting books in the hands of our students.

The students have taken notice and have complimented the new organization and space. Without you, the chaos in the office would still be distracting students from learning skills such as self-awareness,self-regulation, coping, social, executive functioning, and more.

The fan helps keep my students comfortable and ready to learn in our classroom without air conditioning.

When children listen to a story, they are expected to remember the characters, setting, important events, and the order in which those events happened. For young children, this can be difficult. A flannel board gives students something concrete to see, touch, and move as they learn to retell a story.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest benefits of using a flannel board is that it helps students understand story sequence. After hearing a story, students can use the flannel pieces to show what happened first, next, and last. They can place the characters and objects on the board in the correct order while talking about each part of the story. This helps children organize their thoughts and understand that stories have a beginning, middle, and end. The pieces also provide visual reminders if a student forgets what happens next.","fullyFundedDate":1783288291327,"projectUrl":"project/storytelling-in-prek/10335677/","projectTitle":"Storytelling in PreK","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kargol","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1513378_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1459623469749","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-kargol"},{"teacherId":1513378,"projectId":10275322,"letterContent":"The children will be thrilled to have new activities to do with their friends.
