We've been able to print colorful study materials, worksheets, graphic organizers, and student-created projects that make lessons more engaging and accessible. Having printed materials helps my students who learn best by reading on paper, highlighting, or organizing their thoughts visually.\r\n.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us turn digital ideas into tangible learning moments.

Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our students' learning experience, and we are deeply grateful.\r\n\r\nThank you for your donation. My students had access to practice workbooks that reinforce key skills and allow for meaningful independent learning. These resources are helping them build confidence and mastery in subjects that are foundational to their success.\r\n\r\nAnd the wobble chairs? They've been a game-changer. These flexible seating options allow students to move while staying focused, creating a more inclusive and engaging environment for all types of learners.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only filled our classroom with tools and materials—it has filled it with joy, motivation, and possibility.

With your generosity, we were able to add Spring Mess, Stash the Trash, Fun in the Sun, and Scrub the Hands to our classroom collection. Having multiple copies of each title means that students can now read together in small groups, partner pairs, or independently with confidence.\r\n\r\nThese books are especially powerful because they are carefully designed for early and striving readers. Each text uses controlled, decodable words, which allows children to practice their phonics skills in context while still enjoying fun, meaningful stories. For many of my students, this is the first time they can sit down with a book, sound out the words, and realize—\"I can do this!\" That sense of pride and accomplishment builds the momentum they need to keep growing.\r\n\r\nThe joy on their faces as they master these stories is proof of the incredible impact your support has had. Because of you, my students now have the tools to strengthen their reading foundation and develop the confidence that will carry them into higher-level texts. Your gift has not only provided books—it has provided hope, access, and the belief that every child can succeed as a reader.","fullyFundedDate":1746786934411,"projectUrl":"project/chapter-by-chapter-growing-fluent-reade/9240621/","projectTitle":"Chapter by Chapter: Growing Fluent Readers in K–1","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5347433_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715212824460","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/y-morales"},{"teacherId":5347433,"projectId":9217029,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students now have access to an incredible collection of engaging and supportive books that will transform their reading experiences. With the addition of the Magic Tree House Boxed Set (Books 1–28), students are able to dive into exciting adventures that spark imagination and curiosity. These books not only capture their interest but also build the stamina and confidence necessary for growing readers.\r\n\r\nEqually exciting is the set of decodable chapter books specifically designed for students with dyslexia and striving readers. Titles like Spelling Pen: Brass Lamp, The Last Task, Sam Is Stuck, and King's Ring provide the scaffolding and structure that allow all learners, especially those who often feel left out of chapter book reading experiences, to access meaningful and enjoyable stories at their level. Having multiple copies ensures that small groups and guided reading sessions can run smoothly, giving every student a chance to engage with the texts.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these resources will be felt daily. Striving readers will experience success with books they can decode independently, helping them build fluency, comprehension, and pride in their progress. Meanwhile, the Magic Tree House series will encourage reluctant readers to see themselves as lifelong learners, adventurers, and thinkers. Together, these collections provide both joy and skill development, ensuring that no child feels left behind in their reading journey.\r\n\r\nYour gift has opened doors to possibility and confidence for my students.

We use whiteboards every day in class for ELA word segmenting, writing, and phonics. Having vibrant markers that write smoothly and clean erasers makes it easier for students to stay engaged and eager to share their thinking. Instead of worrying about faded colors or messy boards, they can focus fully on their learning.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was during a English lesson when students were working through dissecting multi syllable words. Each student held up their whiteboard, proud to display their solutions in bright, bold colors. The room buzzed with collaboration as they compared strategies, erased mistakes, and tried again without hesitation. These new tools gave them confidence and kept the pace of learning high.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my students will continue to use their whiteboards daily in small groups and whole-class lessons. The markers and erasers not only make activities smoother but also foster a sense of ownership and pride in their work. With these resources, students are more motivated to take risks, share ideas, and grow together as learners.

Tools like interactive whiteboards, learning apps, and educational platforms allow students to engage with content in ways that match their individual learning styles—whether visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. For example, during reading and math instruction, students use tablets and Chromebooks to access adaptive learning programs that adjust to their skill level, providing instant feedback and support. This keeps them motivated and allows me to monitor their progress in real-time.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, technology helps bridge gaps for students who need extra support. Closed captions, read-aloud features, and translation tools empower English language learners and students with learning differences to access the same materials as their peers. Our classroom also uses digital portfolios to help students track their progress and reflect on their learning journey, fostering independence and ownership. Thanks to donor support, we're not just using technology—we're using it meaningfully to create more inclusive, engaging, and effective learning environments.","fullyFundedDate":1668975394291,"projectUrl":"project/if-you-give-students-ink-for-their-class/7025613/","projectTitle":"If You Give Students Ink for Their Classroom Printer...","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fletcher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6634793_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724555373488","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lfletcher"},{"teacherId":9568241,"projectId":8677463,"letterContent":"I thank you for helping me obtain an exemplary space where the children felt comfortable to be able to acquire more fluency and knowledge through reading.

This helped me have a cleaner, organized and modern living room. I send you many blessings for the way you help and contribute so that today's children can be happy to be in a classroom.
