This year, our school started the Accelerated Reader(A.R.)program. This program allows students to read books and take comprehension tests on the computer. I love it, because it motivates students to read. I also, have a chart where my first graders can place a sticker every time they pass a test. \r\n\r\nMy students this year are mostly English Language Learners, which means that they are still acquiring the language. There are not that many books that are easy for them to read. With the easy readers that I asked for, they were able to read and pass tests. This boosted their reading confidence and improved their reading fluency.\r\n\r\nSome of my students even received a medal in their end of year ceremony for completing the A.R. challenge.","fullyFundedDate":1742568732603,"projectUrl":"project/baam-boom-poow-here-come-the-readers/9172467/","projectTitle":"Baam, Boom, Poow!

Here's a glimpse of how they're impacting our students: \r\nThese new texts introduce students to critical reading skills like analyzing themes, understanding character development, and drawing connections between texts and their own lives. \r\nIn our classroom, reading is interactive and exciting. The atmosphere is one of curiosity, engagement, and connection. My students are overjoyed with all the new books and can't get through them fast enough! Watching them fall even more in love with reading has been an absolute dream!","fullyFundedDate":1742221685500,"projectUrl":"project/readers-today-leaders-tomorrow/9171377/","projectTitle":"Readers Today, Leaders Tomorrow!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cuadra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2079054"},{"teacherId":9539000,"projectId":8729140,"letterContent":"The art classroom has become a center of creativity and excitement, where students audibly gasp and express joy upon discovering new materials and decorations thanks to your donations. The classroom environment plays a vital role in setting the tone for student engagement and learning. Thanks to your generous donation, the space is now vibrant, colorful, and thoughtfully equipped with the hanging Colorful Rainbow Boho Tassel Garland Pom Pom Tassel. Paper lanterns and colorful table organizers hang from the ceiling using the Neosmuk Magnetic Hooks, creating an inviting atmosphere.\r\n\r\nThe day starts with using a key organizational tool, such as the Magnetic Anchor Chart Holder, which ensures that essential information like the month and day is prominently displayed in a vibrant and visually appealing manner. This makes it easy for students to locate and clearly read so they can write the date on their assignments at the start of each class session without forgetting to do so. These small yet impactful enhancements contribute to a seamless learning experience.\r\n\r\nCurrently, students are learning about Vincent van Gogh and are creating their own unique works inspired by his techniques and themes. My teacher exemplars posted on the board serve as clear models of the skills, art vocabulary, and subject matter being explored in lessons. These exemplars, protected by Scribbledo Dry Erase Pocket Sleeves, are in excellent condition despite frequent removal for demonstrations and teaching sessions. The exemplars are color-coded by grade level so that students can immediately identify their corresponding tasks and draw inspiration for their artwork.\r\n\r\nWhen students first received their personalized caddies, wide smiles spread on their faces as they eagerly reached to see what materials were placed inside. Equipped with different materials, the caddies simplified the creative process by eliminating the need for students to move around the room to gather supplies. At the beginning of each project, students practice techniques in their sketchbooks, before transitioning to their main artwork. The caddies allow them to graduate from one medium to another, such as shifting from marker practice to oil pastel application.\r\n\r\nAt the end of each class, student helpers collect artwork and organize it into designated class folders within the classroom mailbox sorter holder. This system allows 381 students across 21 classes to have a set place for their creations, minimizing the risk of misplaced artwork. The organization not only saves time but also gives a sense of responsibility and ownership to the students.\r\n\r\nUpon completing their projects, their artwork is displayed throughout the school using Heavy Duty Double-Sided Tape and JANYUN Heavy-Duty Hook Clip Sets. The sight of their art being exhibited inspires a deep sense of accomplishment and motivation to explore and pursue their creativity. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has transformed our art classroom into a dynamic and inspiring space where every student feels encouraged to express themselves and develop their creative talents. The well-equipped, organized, and engaging environment you have made possible is truly a gift that will impact these young artists for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1735672644531,"projectUrl":"project/crafting-creativity-through-organization/8729140/","projectTitle":"Crafting Creativity Through Organization: Help Organize our Art Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ferrer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9539000_orig.jpg?crop=1135,1135,x0,y117&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740111536199","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9539000"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42270","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":611,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":95,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.9,"schoolId":42270,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about E.W.F.
