We are so excited to have a calculator for every student. This will be especially helpful as we work with decimals, fractions, multi-digit multiplication and division, measurement, and solving multi-step word problems. Having calculators available will allow students to check their work, focus on understanding the math, and build confidence when working with more challenging problems.\r\n\r\nYour donation is giving our students a resource they will be able to use throughout the school year. I know my students will be excited to have their own calculator to use during math lessons, small-group work, and independent practice. Most importantly, your generosity shows our students that there are people who believe in them and want to see them succeed.

When those books become used and tattered, as they should with great use, a library refresh is necessary!\r\n\r\nYour especially generous donation to our classroom is used every day and is incredibly appreciated not only be teachers but by all of our growing readers, their parents, and everyone at our school.

The new light table has quickly become one of the most popular centers in our room. From the very first day, my students were filled with excitement and curiosity. They couldn't wait to explore the glowing surface with the colorful letters, numbers, math trays, and magnetic drawing boards. Watching their eyes light up was a moment I won't forget!\r\n\r\nWe use the light table every day to build important early literacy and math skills. Students practice identifying letters, building words, matching uppercase and lowercase letters, counting, sorting, creating patterns, and exploring numbers in ways that feel like play. The magnetic drawing boards give every child a chance to practice writing letters, numbers, and simple words without worrying about making mistakes. The combination of light, color, and hands-on materials has increased engagement and encouraged even my most hesitant learners to participate with confidence.\r\n\r\nAs the school year continues, these resources will become an important part of our science, STEM, and sensory learning as well. Students will investigate colors, shadows, shapes, and patterns while strengthening problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork. Thank you for believing in my students and investing in their education. Your kindness has provided opportunities for joyful learning that will continue to inspire curious minds every single day.

The trampoline is perfect for my 4th and 5th graders since they need something more sturdy. They ask to jump on it daily to help them get ready to learn. \r\nThis is also teaching patience because my students need to wait their turn and be okay not getting something right when they want it. After the students use the trampoline their feel more regulated and ready to learn. The high impact is great for their joints as well. \r\nThe balancing mat is great for their focus as well. They need to take their time and breath to keep their balance.

I share my room with one other special education teacher and now because of your donation I am able to organize all of her teaching material into bins and all of mine in separate bins. I am able to label each bin so the teachers, students, and substitute teachers know exactly where to find things. \r\nMy markers are organized by color in the lazy susan material organizer as well. It is so handy to take the whole lazy susan and put in on the table and students can easily access the materials that they need. \r\nWhen a classroom is organized, students and teachers can focus on what is important, learning! \r\nThank you for your generous donation.

The students were so excited when the new materials arrived. The rainbow basket and paper organizer have helped keep our classroom neat and organized, allowing students to become more independent during centers and classroom routines.\r\n\r\nThe Artograph EZ Tracer Projector has quickly become one of our favorite tools. We have been using it during drawing and writing activities to help strengthen fine motor skills and build confidence. The students love seeing drawings projected large for the class, and it has helped many students feel successful as writers and artists. The dry erase dots have also made small group phonics and math practice more hands-on and engaging.\r\n\r\nThe carpet sweeper has helped us quickly clean up after crafts, sensory activities, and daily kindergarten messes so we can spend more time learning. As we continue our chick and duck hatching projects, plant investigations, writing activities, and end-of-the-year learning, these materials are helping create an organized, welcoming, and joyful classroom.

The engaging characters and fun storylines help students build important early literacy skills such as comprehension, retelling, predicting, identifying character feelings, and discussing problems and solutions.\r\n\r\nThe Bear series by Karma Wilson has become a classroom favorite for teaching friendship and kindness, while the Cranky Chicken and Mr. Sloth books encourage conversations about emotions, patience, and problem solving in kindergarten-friendly ways.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is active and interactive. Students gather on the carpet for read alouds, turn and talk with partners, make predictions, laugh together, and connect stories to their own lives. Many students ask to hear these books again and again, which helps build confidence, vocabulary, and a love for reading.\r\n\r\nSome of my quieter students have become more engaged during story time, and several students now choose these books during independent reading because they feel successful retelling the stories and recognizing familiar words and characters. These books are helping create joyful, meaningful reading experiences that my students will remember long after kindergarten.","fullyFundedDate":1773869366712,"projectUrl":"project/amazing-books-for-us/10146838/","projectTitle":"Amazing Books for Us!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Weidner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5495007"},{"teacherId":5578760,"projectId":9842544,"letterContent":"You have reinvigorated the love for reading in my classroom! Whenever I can get new books in my classroom library, I can not keep my students out of it. These books are being used as independent reading books. Students are even allowed to take these books home to continue their reading there. \r\nThe Warrior Graphic Novels are a HUGE hit. This is getting students to read more books by the same author. I am hoping that these books will entice the students to read the non graphic novel books by this author as they build their love for reading. \r\nMany of my students love animals so the books I ordered have an animal as the main character.

The sides are a perfect height because the bags are easy to load on the cart and take off the cart when the students need to deliver the bags. \r\nThe vacuum works like a charm and the students love the clean up job.
