As a reading specialist, I am using these boards daily across grade levels during small-group instruction to support phonics, word building, and spelling patterns. Students use the magnetic letters to map sounds, build and manipulate words, and practice decoding in a hands-on way. One standout moment was watching a first grader who typically struggles with blending light up when they were able to physically move the sounds and read the word independently.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the magnet boards, their excitement was immediate. They were eager to touch, build, and \"play\" with words, and engagement increased right away. The boards have transformed our lessons into interactive experiences where students feel confident taking risks and trying again. Next, we will continue using the magnet boards to deepen phonics instruction, move into more complex spelling patterns, and support sentence building and encoding across grades. Your generosity has truly strengthened our literacy instruction and given students tools that make learning to read both meaningful and joyful.","fullyFundedDate":1760305080256,"projectUrl":"project/magnet-board-for-reading-group/9816057/","projectTitle":"Magnet Board for Reading Group!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Slimbock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6667321_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y635&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718284618739","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6667321"},{"teacherId":10309755,"projectId":9821127,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support of my kindergarten classroom. Because of you, my students have access to flexible seating that has made a meaningful difference during our literacy blocks. The variety of seating options has helped improve student engagement, focus, and comfort, allowing children to learn in ways that best meet their individual needs. Your kindness has truly enhanced our daily learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe magnet tiles with letters have quickly become a classroom favorite. My students absolutely love using magnet tiles during playtime, and it has been so exciting to see their joy continue during small group instruction. They felt like they were still playing while practicing important literacy skills such as CVC blending and segmenting. This playful, hands-on approach has helped build confidence and enthusiasm for reading while making learning both fun and effective.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the donated books have greatly enriched our classroom library. They have helped bring inclusion and diversity into our daily reading experiences, allowing all students to see themselves reflected in the stories we share. Your generosity and continued support of our Title I school mean more than words can express. Thank you for investing in my students, believing in their potential, and helping create a classroom where every child feels supported, included, and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for being so gracious and generous in your support. I feel truly blessed to have donors like you who care so deeply about my students and their success. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our classroom, and I am incredibly grateful for the difference you have made in the lives of my students and our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1760372175422,"projectUrl":"project/support-our-classroom-empower-our-stude/9821127/","projectTitle":"Support Our Classroom, Empower Our Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eleni","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10309755"},{"teacherId":154553,"projectId":6931466,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping support literacy in my kindergarten classroom.
