It's heartwarming to see them so engaged and excited about the adventures within the pages.\r\n\r\nThe pillows in the reading nook have truly elevated the area to the next level. They not only create a cozy and inviting space but also encourage students to gather and read together. It's wonderful to see them using the pillows as a reward, enjoying time with their friends while immersed in their favorite books. They can't get enough of them!\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful gifts have made a significant impact on my students' learning experience.

Your support has made it possible for us to start this new learning environment, and we could not have done it without you.\r\nThe whiteboard markers and erasers have become essential tools in our daily lessons, allowing students to actively solve math problems and practice their ELD focus skills. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, the Crayola markers have sparked creativity in our art projects, bringing joy to our students as they express themselves through their artwork. The pencil boxes keep all of our small group reading essentials in neat, tidy compartments.\r\n\r\nThe post-it notes have been a fantastic addition as well, making our SHOUT OUT board vibrant and encouraging collaboration on our solve-it posters. I think this is one of the students favorite supplies to use. Not only do they feel like they are writing \"notes\" to each other, but they are using them to encourage one another for being good, kind humans.

Their enthusiasm was truly inspiring, as they felt a sense of ownership and engagement in shaping our classroom library.\r\n\r\nWith a more diverse, relevant, and appealing selection of books now available, students have a greater variety of genres, topics, and reading levels to choose from. This ensures that every child can find books that capture their interest and challenge them appropriately, making reading a more enjoyable and meaningful experience.\r\n\r\nBy expanding their access to literature that resonates with them, this project is not only strengthening their reading skills but also nurturing a habit of independent reading. This will have a lasting effect on their academic growth and personal development, helping them build confidence as readers and encouraging them to become lifelong learners.","fullyFundedDate":1739571748496,"projectUrl":"project/spread-the-love-of-reading-in-the-classr/9096133/","projectTitle":"Spread the Love of Reading in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Padilla","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8183613_orig.jpg?crop=1087,1087,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1646765098286","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/turtlerock"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47861","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":291,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.7,"schoolId":47861,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carl Harvey Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carl Harvey Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/santa-ana-unified-school-district/carl-harvey-elementary-school/47861"}
