Your generosity has made a tremendous difference in my reading intervention classroom and in the daily experiences of my students.\r\n\r\nAs a reading intervention teacher, I work with six small groups of students ranging from kindergarten through fourth grade. Because of your support, my students now have organized, color-coded seat sacks that help them keep materials accessible and ready for learning. What once felt cluttered and distracting has become a smoother, more focused learning environment where students can quickly transition into instruction and feel ownership of their space.\r\n\r\nThe dry erase sleeves have already become an essential part of our daily reading lessons. Students use them to practice letter formation, syllable division, decoding multisyllabic words, and strengthening foundational reading skills. Having fresh, durable sleeves has increased engagement because every student can actively participate throughout the lesson.\r\n\r\nThe whisper phones have had one of the greatest impacts. Many struggling readers are hesitant to read aloud because they lack confidence. Using their own individual whisper phones has made fluency practice both exciting and comfortable for students while also helping us maintain healthier classroom routines. One student recently smiled after rereading a passage and said, \"I can hear myself reading better now.\" Moments like this remind me how meaningful these resources truly are.\r\n\r\nThe literature organizers have also helped create a more structured intervention space where students can independently access texts selected specifically for their instructional needs. This organization allows us to spend more time focused on reading growth and less time managing materials.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has provided much more than classroom supplies. You have helped create an encouraging learning environment where students feel confident, capable, and excited to grow as readers. Thank you for investing in my students and helping them build skills that will impact their futures for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1775837885485,"projectUrl":"project/reading-room-refresh/10183376/","projectTitle":"Reading Room Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1669081_orig.jpg?crop=1082,1082,x0,y194&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1775572233015","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/linda-bland"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92544","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":907,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":14,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":85,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"27.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":71.9,"schoolId":92544,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Gibson County Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Gibson County Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/gibson-county-special-school-district/medina-elementary-school/92544"}
