This will help them continue and practice their reading skills with a book they already have heard and love. Some of my students started reading it as soon as they opened it!

Our packages arrived quickly and we were able to start using our engaging materials immediately. My class was so excited to be able to play with blocks that helped them visualize what the ancient Egyptian pyramids looked like. It took something abstract and made it tangible and engaging. This was just one example of something we were able to incorporate through your generous support. \r\nIt is important to me that my young learners still love learning and are engaged through meaningful play. While some may see them just playing, I see all the wonderful communication skills, cooperative skills and imaginative play growing at the same time.\r\nThank you again for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1761918521064,"projectUrl":"project/building-readers-one-hands-on-tool-at-a/9460431/","projectTitle":"Building Readers, One Hands-On Tool at a Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baumhardt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3844219_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1613057032035","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3844219"},{"teacherId":3761635,"projectId":9640454,"letterContent":"These resources have made our small group learning more engaging and hands-on!

We are so excited to use the class tent (teepee) during our Native American unit within our CKLA literacy curriculum. It will be a core memory for these kindergarteners.

They are a huge hit! \r\nThe general classroom supplies of laminating pouches, construction paper, dry erase erasers, hanging strips, card stock paper and more makes the classroom run smoothly. We have already made a back to school project with the construction paper. The students use the little dry erase erasers daily to practice letters, words and math on their white boards. \r\nThe community building toys are the biggest hit! When students come in to the classroom in the morning they can choose a morning tub with the toys in it. They play with a few friends and get ready for the day.
