For most of my students coming into first grade and not knowing most of their letters and sounds reading was very intimidating and frustrating. Now after 61 days of school these struggling readers can read decodable texts! Their motivation in reading has improved since receiving these engaging decodable texts because they are colorful and fun to read. These texts reinforce the patterns taught in class and use them in cute stories. \r\nMy target group of 10 students who were performing below the AIMS web benchmark at the beginning of the year have improved their reading fluency to a median of 10 words per minute. We started the year at a median of 3 words a minute with most of those students not being able to recognize the letters. Now I have some reading as high as 16, 17, 24 and 28 words per minute. These students started the year around 4-7 words per minute. I am so proud of their growth and thanks to donors like you who gave them engaging texts they love to read over and over again to practice their reading skills. \r\nMy first graders and I want to thank you so much for this donation and we are looking at adding even more decodable texts to our classroom library in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1757350499233,"projectUrl":"project/reading-a-whole-lot-more-with-whole-phon/9490898/","projectTitle":"Reading a Whole Lot More with Whole Phonics","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Condit","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4456826_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1494626076179","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4456826"},{"teacherId":9914339,"projectId":9631879,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation that made this gift to my students possible.

You can feel a sense of relief when they realize what they are experiencing with their bodies is a shared experience by others in their class. They get so excited when they see their hygiene package and have so much fun looking at each item and discussing different fragrances and how they plan to use the products.

This past year I have had additional professional development and learned about the benefits of somatosensory tools with students. The brain break and brain based educational activity cards and book have really helped me choose specific activities to help support students based on specific needs (calming, energizing, focus/attention). \r\n\r\nI have witnessed the benefits of using these resources and tools. My students have been really happy about using somatosensory items like the scented lip balm, the lemon scented lotions, and squishy water beaded shapes. They have been able to use their 5 senses to connect back to their body and work on being regulated and ready to learn. \r\n\r\nWe have used items like the tangles in our classroom calming spaces to help students regulate when they are having strong emotions or need a short break so that they can be ready to work out a problem using works, get back to being on task and their learning. The fidget rings and smelly stickers have been a big hit when working with students individually. \r\n\r\nAll these resources have been beneficial and help us continue the work with students and staff to regulate, relate and reason so they can be their best selves.
