The clipboards were used specifically to help with Orton-Gillingham lessons, as the lessons were two-day sessions, and clipping their papers to the board helped many students keep track of their work more easily than they had prior to having the clipboards. \r\n\r\nBefore we had whiteboard erasers, we were using tissues, but that caused us to go through many tissues each day, which was very wasteful. The individual erasers allowed them to have an eraser that was reusable and specifically theirs to care for throughout the year. \r\n\r\nThank you again for the generous donation to the classroom and for helping students to be successful year after year.","fullyFundedDate":1740265044087,"projectUrl":"project/writing-in-the-classroom/8942374/","projectTitle":"Writing in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ortiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8449195"},{"teacherId":9254936,"projectId":8575492,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of learning materials and library seating for our classroom. \r\n\r\nThe class loved using the new materials in small groups.

The items have truly made the students excited to be at school and learn new things.
