Thanks to your donation, our 1st-grade students now have access to a large set of decodable readers—an essential tool in building their literacy skills and confidence in reading.\r\n\r\nThese books are more than just pages and words; they are the keys to unlocking a world of learning, imagination, and success. With these decodable readers, our young learners can practice foundational reading skills, develop fluency, and experience the joy of reading independently. Already, teachers are seeing remarkable progress in their students, with many expressing newfound enthusiasm for books and storytelling.\r\n\r\nYour support has directly empowered these children with the resources they need to thrive. Because of you, a child who may have struggled with reading now holds a book with pride and excitement, ready to take on new challenges.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of our students, teachers, and school community, thank you for making such a meaningful difference. Your kindness and generosity have ignited a love of learning that will last a lifetime.","fullyFundedDate":1742823802061,"projectUrl":"project/lets-read/9188963/","projectTitle":"Let's Read!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Trevillyan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1823538_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y27&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628794562921","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1823538"},{"teacherId":1823538,"projectId":9142480,"letterContent":"These storage hooks in the hallway and their positive impact on classroom behavior, organization, and student well-being are such a welcome attribute to our hallway. Currently, storing students' belongings in cupboards or stacking them on top of each other has created unnecessary disruptions and challenges that affect both learning and classroom management.\r\n\r\nWhen students' backpacks, coats, and personal items are crammed into shared storage spaces, several issues arise:\r\n\r\nIncreased Classroom Disruptions – Students frequently need to access their belongings, leading to unnecessary movement and noise that distracts from instruction.\r\n\r\nPersonal Space Conflicts – Crowded storage areas often result in arguments over misplaced or accidentally displaced belongings, leading to behavioral incidents.\r\n\r\nHygiene and Safety Concerns – Stacking belongings on top of each other creates clutter, increases the risk of lost or damaged items, and can be a hygiene concern, especially during flu season.\r\n\r\nLoss of Instructional Time – Time spent managing storage conflicts or retrieving items from a disorganized space takes away valuable learning opportunities.\r\n\r\nBy installing storage hooks in the hallway, we alleviated these problems by providing each student with an individual space for their belongings. This promotes organization, minimizes unnecessary distractions, and creates a more structured and positive learning environment. Additionally, a designated storage area outside of the classroom fosters personal responsibility and respect for shared spaces.\r\n\r\nThank you for your time and donations. We appreciate your dedication to improving our school environment for the benefit of all students.","fullyFundedDate":1741294910827,"projectUrl":"project/store-it/9142480/","projectTitle":"Store It!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Trevillyan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1823538_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y27&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628794562921","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1823538"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92064","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":439,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":4,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":81,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":92064,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Corral Drive Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Corral Drive Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-dakota/rapid-city-area-school-district-51-4/corral-drive-elementary-school/92064"}
