We put the rubber ducks to use in a special reading activity where students worked through literacy challenges and earned the opportunity to choose a duck and see if it came with a special surprise. It was such a fun way to celebrate their hard work while encouraging them to keep trying, even when reading tasks felt challenging. Seeing their excitement and smiles made the experience even more rewarding!\r\n\r\nThese resources are helping me create learning experiences that go beyond traditional reading practice. In our intervention groups, I want my students to see themselves as successful readers and feel proud of the progress they make, whether they are working on decoding words, building fluency, or strengthening comprehension. The hands-on materials and incentives give me more ways to keep students motivated and celebrate those little victories that make such a big difference in their confidence.\r\n\r\nWe will also continue using these resources to create engaging activities for our school's family literacy events, giving students and their families opportunities to learn and have fun together. I am so grateful to our donors for helping make these experiences possible. Your generosity allows me to create a classroom where students feel encouraged, excited to learn, and proud of themselves as they grow as readers!","fullyFundedDate":1788971325145,"projectUrl":"project/turning-reading-growth-into-celebration/10287463/","projectTitle":"Turning Reading Growth Into Celebration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Torelli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9458861_orig.png?crop=288,288,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746447628200","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9458861"},{"teacherId":9458861,"projectId":9752086,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in supporting my classroom through DonorsChoose. Because of your kindness, my students now have access to materials that are already making a positive impact on their daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nThe supplies from this project have helped create a more structured, engaging, and supportive environment during small-group instruction. Students are using folders, dry erase materials, and hands-on learning tools to stay organized and focused while working toward their reading goals. Incentives such as stickers have also helped motivate students to persevere, stay on task, and celebrate their progress.\r\n\r\nMany of my students benefit from clear routines, hands-on materials, and positive reinforcement. Thanks to your support, I am able to meet those needs more effectively and help students feel successful and confident during learning time.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a meaningful difference, and my students truly benefit from knowing that people beyond our classroom care about their success.

Your donation has made an immediate and meaningful impact on our daily learning.\r\n\r\nThe headphones are used during small-group instruction and independent practice, allowing students to fully engage with digital lessons, instructional videos, and learning programs without distractions. Because each student can clearly hear directions and content, they are more confident, focused, and successful in completing their work.\r\n\r\nDuring small-group time, the headphones have been especially helpful. While I work closely with one group of students, others are able to independently access differentiated instruction at their own pace. This has created a calmer, more productive classroom environment and has allowed me to better meet the individual needs of every learner.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and in our students' success. We are incredibly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1759127005264,"projectUrl":"project/tune-into-learning-a-class-set-of-head/9767053/","projectTitle":"Tune into Learning: A Class Set of Headphones for All!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brehm","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5836641_orig.jpg?crop=1571,1571,x70,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721847309604","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5836641"},{"teacherId":5836641,"projectId":9363713,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has been transformed into a space that truly supports joyful learning, independence, and community. We are so grateful for your support of our project!\r\n\r\nWith the new classroom library shelving, students can now browse books with ease. Organizing our library by author and series has helped readers quickly find the stories they love—and discover new ones. I've watched students light up when they spot the next book in a series or notice an author they recognize. Our library has become one of the most visited and loved areas of our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe addition of the Nugget couch has created a versatile space that we now use for whole-group lessons as well as a cozy reading spot. Its flexible design allows us to rearrange it easily depending on our needs—whether students are gathering for a mini-lesson, engaging in a class discussion, or settling in with a good book. This comfortable seating option helps students stay focused and engaged while giving our classroom a warm, welcoming feel.\r\n\r\nThe IKEA shelf has made an incredible difference in our organization. With clearly labeled bins for supplies and student materials, our classroom runs more smoothly and students can independently access what they need. This structure has supported responsibility, reduced transition time, and helped everyone stay focused on learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom now feels more welcoming, functional, and student-centered. Your support has directly impacted our daily routines, the way students interact with books, and how confidently they navigate their space. Thank you for believing in our classroom and helping create an environment where students can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1755688397428,"projectUrl":"project/snuggle-read-and-play/9363713/","projectTitle":"Snuggle, Read, and Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brehm","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5836641_orig.jpg?crop=1571,1571,x70,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721847309604","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5836641"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43943","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":253,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":9,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.0,"schoolId":43943,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bradley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bradley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/derby-public-schools/bradley-elementary-school/43943"}
