The students have been loving the new LCD boards. They have been drawing pictures, writing friends names, and so much more. \r\nThese boards have been wonderful to have during lunch time and after rest time. It has kept the students busy and learning as they wait for others to finish eating and waking up from rest time.\r\nThey have also been loving the colorful blocks on the light table. They have been making wonderful creations, patterns, and counting them. It has been such a fun addition to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1775681033866,"projectUrl":"project/learning-while-we-wait/10093134/","projectTitle":"Learning While We Wait!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Darya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1926452_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1625778364730","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/darya-fidelman"},{"teacherId":4676403,"projectId":10134434,"letterContent":"Thanks so much for choosing this project to support. The students were very excited when the Legos came in on our first Friday fun. The students were playing and creating their own things on the carpet. The are also having a great time with the three and one Lego's that are in separate containers so that they can remake them again and again. It's great to have kids using hands-on materials instead of just being on their iPads all of the time. These will be used during our Friday fun activities as well as individual work times.

At our STEAM school students get to go to science once every three weeks for a week, however that's not enough. I like to do an additional science lesson once a week. I was really excited to find this curriculum because I love the large flip charts and the student guide books that go along with it. It's also great because I have codes where I can post everything online on the big screen in the classroom for students to see while I'm instructing. The main purpose for these materials is to use with small group instruction with my high students who can be challenged with this curriculum based on it's higher topics and vocabulary.

Having the the whiteboards have been an efficient way for students to record their math ideas and use them as a starting point for explaining their math thinking. They show evidence of math strategies being used and don't have to rely on paper. It's fun for them to erase mistakes easily and a great way to use as an \"exit slip\" to show understanding of the concept taught.\r\n The large sized number line is such a great visual. They are able to use it on the floor to do their learning and to also get movement while working. Many of my students found using the number line was easier to manipulate and engaging then using small math charts. Thank you again, for giving us learning tools that are hands-on fun!","fullyFundedDate":1773323515472,"projectUrl":"project/show-me-your-strategies/10131247/","projectTitle":"Show Me Your Strategies!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Van wyk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8433426"},{"teacherId":8433426,"projectId":10066590,"letterContent":"My students were so thrilled to get a hold of these \"choose your own adventure\" books. They immediately confiscated the books and found a friend to read with. The books were great at allowing them to have discussions with critical thinking and making decisions dependent on their background knowledge or experiences. I loved seeing them be engaged with reading and showing stamina too.\r\n Once the books were introduced to our library, the majority of students wanted a chance at the books. This action influenced the rest of their peers to test out the books too. Overall, these books were such a success in our classroom and impacted our learning experience. Seeing kids be excited about learning through reading makes me want to continue finding resources that provides them with the love of reading.

The stories sparked their sense of adventure and helped them make meaningful connections to their own lives. Since they are especially interested in make-believe and mysteries, these books were a perfect introduction to higher-order thinking and encouraged them to connect and share ideas with their peers.\r\nI was able to observe students engaging in rich conversations, expressing their opinions and insights about the different choices presented in the books. It was wonderful to see how a strong classroom book series can encourage reading; once students enjoyed one book in the series, they were more likely to choose another and even invite classmates to read with them.\r\n Having these engaging new books in our classroom has encouraged students to read more frequently and more independently. I have seen them grow as decision-makers, using evidence to support their thinking, connecting their background knowledge to discussions, and demonstrating increased reading stamina. Most importantly, they are finding joy in reading and choosing to seek it out on their own. Many students even extended their learning by creating their own adventure \"add-ons\" inspired by the books they had read, showing creativity and initiative. Thank you for providing resources that have inspired such enthusiasm, independence, and imagination in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1772553900232,"projectUrl":"project/life-is-an-adventure/10047427/","projectTitle":"Life Is an Adventure!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nguyen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4714404_orig.jpg?crop=250,250,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1776220669478","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4714404"},{"teacherId":4714404,"projectId":10047772,"letterContent":"My students were ecstatic when they got their hands on the whiteboards. They enjoyed using whiteboard markers on the math boards because they no longer had to constantly record each math model in their notebooks. This allowed them to focus more on solving the math problem rather than drawing diagrams. As a result, they had more time to discuss and explain their thinking with their teammates.\r\n\r\nThey also used the place value whiteboards as exit slips to demonstrate evidence of their learning, and as tools for playing math games. It was exciting for them to move away from notebooks and use a different medium to record and show their understanding.\r\n\r\nMy students also loved using the large number line on the floor. As second graders, they enjoy learning through movement, making this tool especially engaging. It helped them more effectively practice strategies such as skip counting, adding on, and counting backwards. Because the number line was large and visual, students were highly engaged and were able to physically move along it to better understand number sequences. Overall, my students are using both tools with enthusiasm and are demonstrating positive learning interactions and deeper mathematical understanding.","fullyFundedDate":1770647767546,"projectUrl":"project/amazing-whiteboards-for-math/10047772/","projectTitle":"Amazing Whiteboards for Math!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nguyen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4714404_orig.jpg?crop=250,250,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1776220669478","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4714404"},{"teacherId":9876845,"projectId":10092620,"letterContent":"Hello, \r\n\r\nI want to thank you for donating to my school library.

I really like doing certain activities such as students making their own cars and testing them out to figure out data on races and how to make their cars better. I also think it's important to make math fun and into games or centers, which I'm doing with the whiteboards. Also, some students are struggling with fractions so I found these great wipe off boards with hands-on materials for students to do in small group. The dividers are very helpful so kids can work independently.

It's really nice having the journals so that each child has one. Also the work dividers are helpful when kids have a hard time working independently and try to copy others. The kids really loved having ring pops for treats and surprises. I don't give treats out often, but having the ring pops it's a nice surprise for when they've earned something for working so academically hard. Right away the students were excited to get the new games and put them in the new game containers, so that they could play them.
