I truly cannot put into words what it means to us. We use the items in our literacy stations. When my students saw the items coming in, their excitement was hard to contain! My students have also learned the vital importance of respecting their materials because they saw how important and exciting it was to receive fun and engaging items donated. They have a whole new respect for sharing and giving.\r\nMaking literacy interventions fun can be incredibly challenging to tackle. These donations directly go to my students and during their intervention time, helping bring students to the level they need to be and help maintain students' knowledge without dropping off. Teaching 4-5 year olds how to stay focused on a task can prove difficult, but this year has been made significantly easier with your donations!\r\nWe have so many future projects to look forward to. I included our bulletin board because with the gift card, I was able to purchase supplemental writing materials. We do not have many writing opportunities in our curriculum, so I cannot tell you how much this means to their future. We begin by labeling pictures, which is what you see. Thanks to your donation, I was able to find appropriate materials to help guide this practice. I'm so excited to see how much my students learn and grow this year with your help.","fullyFundedDate":1751910746950,"projectUrl":"project/help-make-reading-fun-for-my-kindergarte/9382092/","projectTitle":"Help Make Reading Fun for My Kindergarteners!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Edwards","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10044765_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749668448969","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10044765"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14663","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":645,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"16.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":78.9,"schoolId":14663,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lyon Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lyon Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/st-tammany-parish-school-district/lyon-elementary-school/14663"}
