Funded Nov 13, 2018Thank you so much for your generosity! My students were THRILLED to open up the boxes and see such fun items that we were able to purchase because of your kind donations. We've had a chance to use all the materials and the students have enjoyed them and (even better) they are working how I hoped they would!
I have set up six different stations in my classroom; a Lego station, a Play-Doh station, a Story Cube station, a music station, a "game station (this is where the mad libs game and the story starter games are) and a station with blank paper. The students were able to play with the games, legos, play-doh or draw or listen to music and use those play times to use their imagination and generate ideas for their writing.
I've noticed a considerable improvement in my students' desire to write because of the ideas that they have been able to come up with after using their imagination at the stations we have in our classroom. My hope is that the students will now know the expectations at these stations and can go use the materials any time they feel "stuck" and not sure what to write.
We truly appreciate the opportunity that your donations have provided for our classroom!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Deardeuff
