It is often hard to find motivating materials that aid the children in learning English. The materials purchased with this grant directly align to Arizona's Language Learning Assessment that all of these students must take yearly until they are proficient. They are engaging and \"fun\". The materials cover reading, writing, speaking, listening, and vocabulary. They also come in three levels; emergent, basic, and intermediate so that I can tailor the level/activity to the group. They are hands-on and reusable for years to come. \r\n\r\nThe students have been thoroughly enjoying these new activities, especially the games. They get excited and are bummed when we are not using them. The materials are great to motivate them to do well and get their work completed, so that we have time to play. The students feel successful because the content is at their level and they are using their English without struggling because it is too hard. \r\n\r\nWith these materials, I know my English Language Learners are going to be much more successful and confident when they take the test at the end of the year! I firmly believe they will all show growth. Thank you again for your donation.

Your generous contribution has brought meaningful, lasting change to our kindergarten classroom—change that is seen in our students' bright smiles, heard in their excited voices, and felt in the joy that now fills our daily learning. Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase racing boards, new whiteboards with handwriting lines, and small group activity materials. While those items may seem simple on paper, in the hands of our young learners, they have become tools of transformation—sparking curiosity, building confidence, and creating a classroom that feels even more like a second home. The impact of your generosity extends beyond the classroom supplies. It has created an environment where students feel empowered, supported, and excited to learn. Every day, I see more engagement, more confidence, and more joy. As a teacher, there is nothing more rewarding than watching students grow in an environment built with love and care—and you've made that possible. On behalf of our entire classroom community, thank you for believing in our kids and in the power of early education.

Thanks to your support, our students now have access to high-quality headphones that will enhance their learning experience in ways we couldn't have imagined before. In a kindergarten classroom, where attention spans are short and engagement is key, these headphones help create a quieter, more focused environment. Whether it's listening to educational videos, interactive lessons, or engaging in individual activities, these headphones allow each child to concentrate on their tasks without distractions. Your contribution is making a profound difference in their ability to learn and grow, and I can't thank you enough for helping us reach this milestone.\r\n\r\nBeyond the immediate impact of the headphones, your donation represents something even more significant — the belief that every child deserves the best tools for success. With your generosity, you're not just providing a physical item; you're investing in the potential of these young learners. They now have the resources they need to explore new concepts and engage in activities that promote early literacy, math skills, and creative thinking. This will have a lasting effect on their educational journey and inspire a love for learning that will carry them far beyond kindergarten. Once again, thank you for your kindness and support. Your commitment to education is truly appreciated, and we are incredibly fortunate to have you as a part of our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1733798662312,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-computer-learners/8985214/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Computer Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zive","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9061020_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1685364057831","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9061020"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40202","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":461,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"15.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.1,"schoolId":40202,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lakeview Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lakeview Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/washington-elementary-school-district/lakeview-elementary-school/40202"}
