Because of you, my students now have a brand new, versatile, mobile easel that has already made a powerful impact on our daily learning. This easel is far more than a piece of classroom furniture—it has become the heart of my whole-group instruction and a tool that supports engagement, creativity, and confidence for my young learners.\r\n We use the easel every day during morning meetings, literacy instruction, math lessons, and center rotations. The double-sided magnetic whiteboard has been especially valuable. One side is blank, allowing us to draw, model problem-solving, and brainstorm ideas together. The lined side is perfect for modeled writing, helping students see proper letter formation, spacing, and sentence structure. \r\n One specific classroom moment that truly highlights the impact of this easel happened during a shared writing lesson. We were working on writing cvc words together as a class. Using the lined whiteboard, I modeled how to write write the letters using the correct formation. Then, students took turns coming up to the easel to help change letters to make new words. One student who typically struggles with confidence eagerly raised their hand and said, \"I want to try!\" When they successfully added created a word, the class was extremely excited. It is so wonderful to have an interactive space where learning feels safe and exciting.\r\n I will never forget how my students reacted when they first saw the easel. As I assembled it in the classroom, their eyes lit up with excitement. I heard gasps, cheers, and questions like, \"Is that for us?\" and \"Can we use it today?\" Several students immediately noticed that it is magnetic. Their excitement showed how eager they were to learn and how valued they felt knowing this resource was chosen specifically for them.\r\n Because of your generosity, our classroom has become a more interactive, engaging, and supportive learning environment. This easel has given my students a space to see themselves as readers, writers, and thinkers. Thank you for investing in my classroom and helping create meaningful learning experiences that will benefit my students every single day.\r\nWith sincere gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1760748198281,"projectUrl":"project/big-ideas-need-big-space-an-easel-for-k/9812668/","projectTitle":"Big Ideas Need Big Space: An Easel for Kindergarten Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rucci","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4483978"},{"teacherId":2154956,"projectId":9641929,"letterContent":"My students were beyond excited to receive our packages of kickballs!
