Many of my students struggle with a continuum of engagement. However, when they used the \"Magnetic Sequencing Learning Rods,\" they didn't want to stop writing. I created a first, then, next, and last template to help them create their sequential story. The four-step magnetic story rods accurately kept the students on task. \r\n\r\nThe four domains of our federally mandated WIDA Access testing are Listening, Speaking, Writing, and Reading. I was able to incorporate all four domains with this resource. The students wrote their sequential story and read it aloud to the group, thus practicing their speaking skills. As each student read, the rest of the group used their listening skills.","fullyFundedDate":1768663858941,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-bilingual-learners/10023867/","projectTitle":"Supporting Bilingual Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Taffolla","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9359723"},{"teacherId":9216534,"projectId":10014019,"letterContent":"The resources that were donated to my classroom have been hugely impactful for many of my K-4 students. From the fidgets to sensory items, the weighted tools to curriculum materials, they have all been put to good use and are helping my students to continue building self-regulation and social skills. \r\n\r\nAs emotional needs are on the rise in students, the weighted tools have especially been helpful in calming students during episodes of dysregulation. My goal is to get a weight lap pet in each classroom, and with your help, I am getting closer to that goal. \r\n\r\nI so appreciate all of the materials and supplies that were sent to my classroom, and they will continue to be put to good use in helping my students learn the coping skills and socials skills needed to achieve success.

Because reading is difficult, they often are very reluctant to read. I also teach many students who suffer from ADHD and find it very difficult to get comfortable in a desk seat and to be able to stay focused, especially when they're uncomfortable. As a result, reading is often a \"forced\" assignment and reading skills aren't as strong as they could be. There often isn't a love of reading. Rather, it's a dreaded assignment.\r\n\r\nMy goal is to help young students develop a love of reading. I want their world to be opened up to all of the wonderful books and other text that can entertain and expand their knowledge and world. I decided that finding some fun, comfortable seating would help encourage my students to want to get comfy with a good book. When my students walked in and saw these new seats, they got so excited. They couldn't wait to use them. \r\n\r\nThe seats are still a favorite place to sit and read. Even my reluctant readers get excited to sit in one of these seats and read a book. Reading skills and a love of reading have increased dramatically, due to the fact that my students get excited about reading a book of their choice because they have somewhere fun and comfortable to sit.","fullyFundedDate":1768691444188,"projectUrl":"project/get-comfy-with-a-good-book/10030481/","projectTitle":"Get Comfy With a Good Book","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Boundy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10223351"},{"teacherId":10398193,"projectId":10011399,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of learning games, leveled books, and sustainable classroom materials. Your support brings excitement and engagement into our classroom, helping students learn in differentiated, fun and meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kind investment, our students have more opportunities to explore, practice important skills in reading and math, and grow in confidence. We have included photos of the students using the materials so you can see firsthand the joy and learning your donation has made possible.

These resources have enhanced both student engagement and learning by providing hands-on, interactive experiences that support a variety of learning styles.\r\n\r\nWith the addition of these manipulatives and activities, students are better able to visualize and understand key concepts. Abstract ideas have become more concrete, allowing students to build deeper comprehension and confidence in their abilities. The materials also encourage collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking, as students work together and actively participate in lessons.\r\n\r\nBeyond academic growth, these resources have fostered excitement and motivation in the classroom. Students are more eager to participate, take risks in their learning, and remain focused during instruction. This increased engagement has contributed to a more positive and productive learning environment overall.\r\n\r\nIn summary, the support from ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ has significantly enriched my teaching and my students' learning experiences. The manipulatives and activities have not only strengthened academic understanding but have also helped create a dynamic, inclusive, and engaging classroom where all students can succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1768057594918,"projectUrl":"project/discovery-toys-and-games/9989832/","projectTitle":"Discovery Toys and Games","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haggerty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8069328"},{"teacherId":9473147,"projectId":10007617,"letterContent":"My students had a blast creating with clay! Each grade level made a different clay sculpture. The students will get to take these sculptures home at the end of the school year. They can't wait to display them in their homes! Kindergarten learned how to make texture initials, 1st grade learned how to make pinch pot monsters, 2nd grade learned how to make self-portrait sculptures, 3rd grade learned how to make superhero cars, and 4th grade learned about pop art. We studied Roy Lichenstein and made clay onomatopoeias. It was so much fun! \r\n\r\nFirst-fourth learned how to attach pieces of clay to each other and the importance of slipping and scoring. All grades learned the meaning of sculptures and studied several artists who make sculptures including Yayoi Kusama and Claes Oldenburg. \r\n\r\nWhen my students saw the clay they were so excited! I told them this year I wasn't sure we were going to work with clay because I didn't have enough. When they walked into my art room, they were jumping up and down and so excited to work with clay! They worked hard and did their very best work! \r\n\r\nNext, the students will create backdrops for their clay projects that will be displayed for our upcoming art show!
