It's incredible to see how excited my students get about learning when we use it. They love the catchy songs and engaging videos that make even the most challenging topics fun and accessible.\r\n\r\nFlocabulary injects a much-needed dose of fun into our lessons. It's like a breath of fresh air, transforming what might sometimes feel like rote learning into an interactive experience. The songs are catchy, the videos are vibrant, and the content is presented in a way that resonates with my students. It's amazing to see them singing along and actively participating in their learning. For example, when we were learning about adverbs, the \"Adverb\" song from Flocabulary helped them remember the the function of an adverb in a sentence. They were singing the song during recess and even teaching it to their younger siblings!\r\n\r\nThe moment I mention Flocabulary, their eyes light up! They know they're in for a treat. It's become a reward in itself, something they look forward to. It's also a great tool for classroom management; the promise of a Flocabulary session can work wonders in getting everyone focused and on task.\r\n\r\nThis project has had a profound impact on my students. It's not just about making learning fun; it's about making it stick. I've seen a significant improvement in their retention of information, especially in subjects like vocabulary and social studies. Flocabulary presents complex concepts in a way that's easy for them to understand and remember. Before we started using Flocabulary, many of my students struggled to remember the definitions of new vocabulary words. Now, they can easily recall the meanings and use the words in their own writing.\r\n\r\nFlocabulary has been instrumental in introducing and reinforcing key skills and lessons:\r\n * Vocabulary development: The songs and videos are packed with rich vocabulary, helping my students expand their word knowledge and improve their communication skills.\r\n * Content knowledge: Flocabulary covers a wide range of subjects, from science and social studies to math and language arts, making learning more engaging and effective.\r\n * Critical thinking: Many of the Flocabulary videos include thought-provoking questions and scenarios that encourage my students to think critically and analyze information.\r\nIn Conclusion, Flocabulary has truly transformed my classroom. It's made learning more fun, engaging, and effective. I'm incredibly grateful for the support of our donors, and I can't wait to see the continued impact of this resource on my students.","fullyFundedDate":1728526265403,"projectUrl":"project/hip-hop-to-the-top-with-flocabulary/8854736/","projectTitle":"Hip-Hop to the Top with Flocabulary!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Grace","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9599403_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y28&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721374120309","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-jessica-grace"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15789","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":319,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":53,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"7.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":33.3,"schoolId":15789,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Barbara Bush Primary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Barbara Bush Primary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/sulphur-springs-independent-school-district/early-childhood-learning-ctr/15789"}
