I am using the phonics materials during my small group and MTSS instructional block. My students love using these materials and get really excited when they see we are going to be using them. These have helped my students because they offer the opportunity to learn through visual, auditory, and tactile means. I am appreciative of the fact that Governor Matt Meyer's office recognizes the expertise of teachers. This gave us the flexibility to purchase materials that are supported by research in the science of reading. Again, my students and I thank you for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1760548854466,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-phonics-instruction/9822795/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Phonics Instruction","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2932256_orig.jpg?crop=354,354,x11,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1605745405605","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2932256"},{"teacherId":6895290,"projectId":9824661,"letterContent":"My students are delighted using the materials especially the magic boards and connecting letter cones. All the materials have been helpful to help students in building their literacy foundation.\r\nThe magic boards are helping students form letters correctly and write their sight words in a fun and multi sensory way. Students are learning to match uppercase and lowercase letters and beginning sounds with the cones. They are engaged and love to have the hands on experience so vital in the early stages of learning how to read and write.\r\nWe are very grateful for your kindness and generosity.\r\nThank you very much for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1760418588129,"projectUrl":"project/strong-literacy-foundation/9824661/","projectTitle":"Strong Literacy Foundation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ruiz-Arthur","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6895290_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760381651452","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6895290"},{"teacherId":1983742,"projectId":9847972,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my students are now experiencing rhythm as a powerful form of storytelling. Using the steel drum and cajon, students explore how beats, patterns, and words express identity and emotion across cultures around the world. In one recent lesson, students paired spoken language with rhythmic accompaniment—using the cajon to ground steady pulse and the steel drum to add melodic color—bringing stories and poems to life through sound. These instruments have given students concrete, joyful ways to feel rhythm rather than just talk about it.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new instruments, their excitement was immediate and contagious. They were eager to listen, touch, and experiment, and even students who are usually more reserved found ways to participate confidently. The bean bag chair has quickly become a favorite space in our classroom, offering students a cozy spot to relax, read, and reflect. This has supported not only literacy, but also emotional well-being, helping students feel calm, focused, and ready to create.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue building on these experiences by creating their own rhythm-and-language projects inspired by global traditions. They will compose short performances that combine spoken word, percussion, and movement, reflecting on how rhythm helps communicate meaning and feeling. Thanks to your support, my students' curiosity and creativity now have meaningful vehicles for exploration—and our classroom is richer, more expressive, and more connected because of you.","fullyFundedDate":1760974546638,"projectUrl":"project/the-rhythm-of-language/9847972/","projectTitle":"The Rhythm of Language","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Storck","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1983742_orig.jpg?crop=631,631,x4,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1592581673168","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/storckmusic"},{"teacherId":4826759,"projectId":9820185,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom. Because of you, my students now have access to engaging, hands-on tools that have truly transformed the way they learn. The phonics and sight word games, magnetic number bonds, dice, and manipulatives allow students to actively participate in lessons rather than just observe. These materials support multisensory learning, which is especially important for young learners as they build foundational reading and math skills through movement, touch, and play.\r\n\r\nMy students are especially excited about the interactive literacy games and math tools. The CVC word activities and sight word games have made reading practice feel fun and attainable, boosting confidence and motivation. Students who were once hesitant to participate are now eager to take turns, try new words, and explain their thinking using the number bond magnets and dice. The mirrors have also been a wonderful addition, helping students observe their mouth movements while practicing letter sounds and phonics, which has strengthened their decoding skills.\r\n\r\nThese materials have had a particularly positive impact on students who benefit from hands-on and sensory-based learning. They provide meaningful support for differentiated instruction and allow every child to experience success. Your kindness has helped create a joyful, inclusive learning environment where students feel encouraged to take risks and grow.
