Without these supplies, the students at Earl Jenkins Elementary School would not be able to create art on a continuous basis. Their creativity is an outlet that is so important in a world that is seemingly being taken over by digital media and devices. These materials allow the students to work with their hands and exercise their fine motor skills along with their critical thinking skills. These skills are so important in today's world.","fullyFundedDate":1768177206762,"projectUrl":"project/stock-the-art-room/10004020/","projectTitle":"Stock the Art Room","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. G","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5353924_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1526180457047","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/greta-lynn"},{"teacherId":1736941,"projectId":10011156,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donated book series, my students love all of the books. They were especially excited when they saw the Scholastic Wild Weather kit. We just completed a week-long spiral lesson where we explored weather concepts in reading and science and the books just added another resource we could used during the lessons. \r\nThere we enough books in the kits for each individual student to choose which topic they wanted to research. Afterwards, each student was an \"expert\" on their topic and they enthusiastically presented their new-found knowledge with the class whole group. \r\nAgain, my students and I greatly appreciate the donation, and I hoping that I have a classroom full of future weather forecasters now.","fullyFundedDate":1768672089001,"projectUrl":"project/inspiring-inquisitive-readers/10011156/","projectTitle":"Inspiring Inquisitive Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Klinar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1736941"},{"teacherId":8148446,"projectId":10036152,"letterContent":"For the past few months, students have been learning about the brain and stress response. They have learned about the prefrontal cortex (PFC), and how it helps them makes good decisions, the amygdala, which controls are emotions, and the hippocampus, which helps us learn and store memories. \r\n\r\nNot only have they've been practicing identifying situations in which their amygdala takes control but whether it is helpful or not. In dangerous situations it keeps them safe - definitely helpful. But, in stressful situations, like conflict with a friend or being worried about a test, it is not as helpful. \r\n\r\nWhen students can identify which type of response they're having, especially if it's not an emergency or dangerous situation, they can use coping skills to help calm their amygdalas and allow their PFC to be more in control. The hope is, the more they practice healthy coping skills (breathing, coloring or writing, or using sensory tools) when they aren't stressed, they'll be better able to remember them and use them when they are stressed. And, hopefully, use their PFC to help them make better choices to deal with their stress (talk it out, use I-messages, or other de-escalation strategies). \r\n\r\nWith the materials from Donors Choose, students made sensory bottles using previously donated water bottles, water, and the donors' items (glitter/sequins, food coloring, and glycerin). The funnels helped keep the process cleaner, and the hot glue-gun allowed me to seal the lids to the bottles for safety. \r\n\r\nIt was such a unique way to cap off our unit on the brain and stress response. They had so much fun making them and loved the variety of glitter, sequins, and colors for the water. \r\n\r\nIn addition, students in beginning Crochet Club got to try new yarns and start making\r\nhot pads/potholders. Students typically use acrylic yarn at first because it is inexpensive. However, acrylic yarn is not a great material for pot holders since they would melt. With the cotton yarn we were provided via Donors Choose, the more advanced students could start making the hot pads/potholders. They loved the colors and the different texture. Plus it helped some of them learn better because the stitch definition of the cotton yarn made it easier to see the stitches.","fullyFundedDate":1768747093740,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-bottles-and-crocheting-as-coping/10036152/","projectTitle":"Sensory Bottles and Crocheting as Coping Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. King","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8148446_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634860797505","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsking-counseling-littles-makes-me-happy"},{"teacherId":10403847,"projectId":10018509,"letterContent":"Our new flexible seating has truly transformed our classroom environment!

The level of focus and engagement was incredible to see.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students couldn't wait to try out each seating option, and their enthusiasm carried into our lessons. They were smiling, collaborating, and fully engaged in a way that made the classroom feel even more welcoming and student-centered.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue incorporating flexible seating into our daily routines, especially as we move into more collaborative projects and independent learning activities. Students are becoming more aware of how they learn best, choosing seating that helps them stay focused and comfortable.

After attending several professional development trainings and discovering texts that support instruction in these areas, I was beyond grateful that the community stepped in where my school Administration refused to. As a result, I have shared several strategies with my team during our weekly Professional Learning Community meetings, used the resource pages during whole group lessons, and had students work with game templates in small group settings. These math texts on building fluency and working with productive struggle are phenomenal!\r\n\r\nMy greatest takeaway has been how practical and easy to follow the chapters of the texts are organized, the availability of online digital and expanded components, and the concise visuals that model a wide range of strategies that I can figure out before trying it with students. I love all of these supportive math texts, and once again thank you. \r\n\r\nYour decision to financially contribute to my ambitious, but ultimately necessary alternative to seeking out and securing the math books that simultaneously further my educational journey as I impart the knowledge with my students, your involvement in my career is humbly received.
