Our students have been using the cards daily to create stories. Their language exposure and skills have improved tremendously. The best part of the story cards are that students are learning to take turn and listen to one another. The felt board and the Chick-a-Chik-a boom -boom trees are also in use during our exploration time. Students use the book and the hands on materials to retell the stories. Some students even add their own twist and addition to the stories. We hope to continue bringing a love for reading and listening through this project. Thank you once again for bringing this language rich project to our youngest learners.","fullyFundedDate":1755749535813,"projectUrl":"project/lets-tell-a-story/9334774/","projectTitle":"Let's Tell a Story!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4487858_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1498522482824","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-gow"},{"teacherId":9720081,"projectId":9532663,"letterContent":"When our new rug arrived, my students' excitement was immediate—you could feel the energy in the room shift. They were so eager to gather together on the carpet, and it quickly became the heart of our classroom community. We now use it daily as part of our structured literacy curriculum, which emphasizes phonics and is especially supportive for English learners and students with reading difficulties such as dyslexia. The rug gives us the space to incorporate movement, tactile learning, and whole-group participation, which makes lessons more engaging and effective.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful moments has been using the rug during story time. Whether I am reading aloud or a student volunteers to share, the entire class is able to sit comfortably, listen attentively, and connect with the story. It has also become a place for students to share their own work, building confidence and pride in their learning. The rug has truly transformed these activities into special moments that the students look forward to each day.\r\n\r\nAs we continue with our literacy curriculum, the rug will remain a central tool for building community and strengthening foundational reading skills. The students are already showing more excitement and focus during our lessons, and I know this will continue to grow. Your generosity has given us more than a rug—you've given us a space where students feel safe, supported, and eager to learn together.","fullyFundedDate":1754449152321,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-out-a-rug-for-learning/9532663/","projectTitle":"Rolling Out a Rug for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9720081_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754327098553","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9720081"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_128418","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":942,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":77,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":88.5,"schoolId":128418,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lila Bringhurst Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lila Bringhurst Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/fremont-unified-school-district/lila-bringhurst-elementary-school/128418"}
