One memorable moment was during small groups when students worked together to build and read new words. They loved physically moving the letters around to practice spelling. The thermal pouches have also helped me create reusable center activities, so students can practice tracing and blending words multiple times without the materials wearing out. The standing desk has made it easier for me to circulate, model, and guide students more effectively during instruction.\r\n\r\nStudents reacted positively to the magnetic letters, they were so excited! They were eager to start spelling words we had been practicing during our mini lessons. Their joy and curiosity made it clear that these materials are sparking their interest in exploring language. Some even asked, \"¿Podemos usar las letras otra vez mañana?\" which shows how much they look forward to practicing.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to use the magnetic letters to focus on creating complete sentences, not just words, in Spanish. This will help students transfer their phonics practice into meaningful reading and writing experiences. With the laminated resources from the thermal pouches, students will continue to rotate through centers that reinforce blending, segmenting, and spelling. The goal is to help them build a strong foundation in Spanish literacy while keeping the activities hands-on, engaging, and reusable.","fullyFundedDate":1746491348230,"projectUrl":"project/interactive-spanish-phonics-fun/9193676/","projectTitle":"Interactive Spanish Phonics Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Montenegro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5829139"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26791","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":464,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.7,"schoolId":26791,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Glenbrook Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Glenbrook Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/elgin-school-district-u-46/glenbrook-elementary-school/26791"}
