Because of your support, our students are now engaging with hands-on reading and fluency materials, collaborative learning tools, and exciting reading center activities each day. These resources have become part of our lessons, small group work, and partner reading routines, giving students more opportunities to practice skills in meaningful and motivating ways. When the materials first arrived, the classroom filled with instant excitement—smiles, questions, and eager hands ready to explore. Their reaction showed just how much students value learning experiences that feel fresh, interactive, and empowering. You gave us a glimpse into what is possible when a community believes in our learners.\r\n\r\nThis project has opened the door for our next steps, as students apply their reading, speaking, and comprehension skills to current classroom lessons. With these new tools supporting them, they are building stamina with connected text, strengthening their confidence as readers, and beginning to share their learning with others—whether through discussions, written responses, or reading aloud with expression. Your generosity gave our students the chance to learn in new ways, and we are thrilled to continue using these resources as their skills grow. Thank you again for investing in our classroom, celebrating our students, and being a part of their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1755733808684,"projectUrl":"project/ms-murrays-first-grade-class/9436166/","projectTitle":"Ms. Murray’s First Grade Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Murray","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10065163"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60386","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":687,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":31,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":66.9,"schoolId":60386,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Abraham Lincoln Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Abraham Lincoln Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/new-bedford-public-school-district/abraham-lincoln-elementary-school/60386"}
