The new resources you provided have become an essential part of our routine, helping students engage more deeply and confidently with the material.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the reaction was immediate—students were curious, eager, and full of questions. There was a noticeable sense of excitement in the room for the new learning games we had received. Many of them couldn't wait to get started, and that enthusiasm has carried over into our daily lessons. They take pride in using these fun tools and feel a greater sense of ownership over their learning.\r\n\r\nOur paraprofessionals and I use the Clorox wipes throughout the day to keep student workspaces, shared materials, and high-touch areas clean and sanitized. This has been especially important in maintaining a healthy classroom, minimizing the spread of germs, and reducing student absences. The Kleenex are used constantly and help students manage everyday needs quickly and independently, allowing us to keep lessons running smoothly without disruption.\r\n\r\nYour support has made all of this possible. Thank you for giving our students opportunities to explore, grow, and believe in their abilities.","fullyFundedDate":1763490329925,"projectUrl":"project/bridging-the-gap-providing-essential-re/9815024/","projectTitle":"Bridging the Gap: Providing Essential Reading Intervention for 1st-5th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Adkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9088903"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73545","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":494,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"23.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.2,"schoolId":73545,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Durham Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Durham Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/durham-unified-school-district/durham-elementary-school/73545"}
