Your support has enabled us to acquire essential resources that are transforming our learning environment and enriching our students' educational experiences.\r\n\r\nWith the materials you've provided, including the Didax CVC Spelling Board Games, Lakeshore English Language Development Vocabulary Center, and NewPath Alphabet Learning Center Game, our students are engaging in hands-on, multisensory activities that make language learning both enjoyable and effective. These tools have been instrumental in helping our English as a New Language (ENL) students grasp new vocabulary and language concepts more concretely.\r\n\r\nFor instance, the Lakeshore Snap & Build CVC Words set has become a classroom favorite. Students eagerly collaborate to construct words, enhancing their phonics skills and building confidence in their reading abilities. Additionally, the Emotion Flash Cards have opened up meaningful discussions about feelings, aiding in both language development and social-emotional learning.\r\n\r\nYour commitment to fostering an inclusive and dynamic learning space has made a significant impact. By supporting our project, you've not only provided tangible materials but also inspired a love for learning and a sense of belonging among our students.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generosity and for believing in the potential of our students. Together, we are creating a classroom where language comes alive, and every child has the opportunity to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1733851994543,"projectUrl":"project/from-words-to-worlds-hands-on-learning/8977619/","projectTitle":"From Words to Worlds: Hands-On Learning for ENL Growth","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Belmont","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9096441_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689013822220","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9096441"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22371","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":366,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.9,"schoolId":22371,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Link Elementary on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Link Elementary","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/clarkstown-central-school-district/link-elementary-school/22371"}
