Their faces lit up with joy, and they couldn't wait to explore everything. They were especially excited about the Play-Doh — it was definitely the class favorite!\r\nStudents are using the Play-Doh in our literacy centers to support hands-on learning. They've been practicing letter and name formation by rolling the Play-Doh into \"snakes\" or small balls to shape the letters of their names and the alphabet. They're also using it to build sight words and CVC words, which helps them segment and blend sounds as they learn to read. It's been such an engaging way for them to practice early literacy skills!\r\nOur next steps involve building early math skills as students begin learning addition sentences. During small-group instruction, they will use the counting bears to help visualize and model addition. Students will also use the magnetic ten frames to better understand how to add the addends and find the sum. These hands-on tools are helping them grasp the concept of addition in a concrete and engaging way as they build a strong foundation in math.","fullyFundedDate":1758764595676,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-learning/9741411/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rios","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9252467_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758407462730","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9252467"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56098","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":505,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":70,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"19.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.7,"schoolId":56098,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cooley Ranch Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cooley Ranch Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/colton-joint-unified-school-district/cooley-ranch-elementary-school/56098"}
