The supplies and materials that were donated have made impact on my students and their learning. The class set of dry erase markers has allowed for my students to have individual practice on the whiteboards with spelling words, vocabulary words, and art. \r\n The colorful class set of index cards are used daily as flashcards for high frequency words, Dolch sight words, and to add new vocabulary words to our class word wall tree. \r\n All of the plastic containers have allowed us to store and organize our leveled readers and chapter books for our easy access and safe keeping. The containers have also helped to keep my classroom neat and organized. \r\n The little prizes, incentives, stickers, and smelly pencils have been so wonderful for my students! I've used them for motivation and as rewards. \r\n The musical instruments have been outstanding, as well. The tambourines and mini maracas have been used in class plays and will continue to be used as part of backdrop and in musical events. The students lived these! The class hand clappers are a great asset for clapping out word parts and syllables. I could never thank you enough for your support of my classroom and America's youth. You are making a huge difference!!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nneat","fullyFundedDate":1752586534304,"projectUrl":"project/increasing-reading-achievement-by-incor/9288581/","projectTitle":"Increasing Reading Achievement, by Incorporating Arts and Humanities!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Olivia Combs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1528984_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763907219219","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1528984"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58645","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":318,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":52.9,"schoolId":58645,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Buckhorn School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Buckhorn School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/perry-county-school-district/buckhorn-school/58645"}
