They couldn't wait to explore the colorful magnetic letters, and it was incredible to see their curiosity turn into focused learning. We've incorporated these tools into our daily literacy routines,, practicing letter recognition, building simple words, and even creating our own name puzzles. It has truly brought learning to life in a hands-on, engaging way.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments so far was seeing a student who previously struggled with letter formation proudly hold up a perfectly built word with a huge smile. That moment of confidence was made possible because of you.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, we are building a strong foundation in reading and writing that will support our students far beyond Pre-K. We still have so many fun activities planned, and I'm excited to continue watching their skills grow.","fullyFundedDate":1745847082918,"projectUrl":"project/building-early-literacy-skills-with-magn/9110476/","projectTitle":"Building Early Literacy Skills With Magnetic Letter Builders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. ISABEL RAMIREZ","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9905997"},{"teacherId":9905997,"projectId":9077810,"letterContent":"My Pre-K Students to Enhance Their Learning\" project! Your generosity brought a variety of engaging, hands-on materials into our classroom that are helping my students explore, discover, and learn in ways that are perfect for their age and developmental level. One of our favorite moments so far was using our new fine motor kits during our letter and number centers—students were not only practicing academic skills, but they were also strengthening their coordination and focus through play. It was a win-win!\r\nThe look on their faces when we first opened the boxes was priceless—pure joy and wonder. Several students gasped with excitement and immediately asked, \"Can we play with this today?\" These materials have quickly become a staple in our daily learning rotations. Students are more engaged, more independent, and more collaborative. They're learning by doing, which is exactly what they need at this age.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be using the manipulatives to support our upcoming units on patterns, sorting, and storytelling. Your support is helping set the foundation for lifelong learning. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in my students' early education and giving them the tools they need to thrive!","fullyFundedDate":1739367264700,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-activities-for-my-pre-k-student/9077810/","projectTitle":"Hands-on Activities for My Pre-K Students to Enhance Their Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. ISABEL RAMIREZ","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9905997"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15976","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":543,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":95,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":15976,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jessie Jensen Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jessie Jensen Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/sharyland-independent-school-district/jessie-jensen-elementary-school/15976"}
