A few even said, \"This looks like real money!\" They were eager to start games and activities right away, and their enthusiasm made the introduction to our unit even more fun.\r\n\r\nOur next steps include using these resources to deepen their understanding of saving, spending, and making choices about money. Students will be working on a mini-project where they create a simple budget for a dinner party. They'll use the manipulatives to help plan, calculate costs, and make financial decisions. These hands-on tools are giving them a strong foundation and helping them feel confident as young financial thinkers.","fullyFundedDate":1755521904731,"projectUrl":"project/money-math-meaning-manipulatives-to/9360399/","projectTitle":"Money, Math & Meaning: Manipulatives to Make Learning Stick","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fitzgerald","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1524654_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1466134726682","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bsjostrand"},{"teacherId":1524654,"projectId":9098206,"letterContent":"Our classroom has been buzzing with excitement over the new books we've received.

Whether it's exploring characters who face challenges with courage, diving into stories that spark big questions, or learning how to use clues from the text to make inferences. We've been practicing skills like identifying theme, analyzing character traits, and using evidence to support our ideas, but most importantly, we're learning how to think like readers—to wonder, predict, connect, and reflect.\r\n\r\nReading time in our room is one of the most joyful parts of our day. You'll find students curled up with their independent books, discussing what they've discovered with a partner, or jotting quick notes on sticky tabs to capture their thinking. Our read-alouds spark laughter, curiosity, and sometimes even quiet moments of reflection. There's a shared sense of excitement when someone finds a new favorite author or can't wait to recommend a story to a friend.
