Your contributions have made a meaningful impact on our classroom, and we are truly grateful for your support. As I stated before the goal of the classroom with this project was to provide many practice opportunities and exposure to as much language as possible. The use of books and hands-on literacy toys is a wonderful way for the preschoolers to learn some prewriting and reading skills. \r\nMany of the students in the classroom are non-verbal or use other modes of communication. Having the materials to make stories come together with more than just a book allows the students to participate in what is being read to them. One of their favorites was \"The Old Lady that Swallowed a Fly\" puppet. When I read them that story now, they are super excited to be able to match the part in the story that she is swallowing and put it in her mouth. They laugh with joy. Our students learn better with having items that they can play with and participate in activities with. I received several books for the classroom and I myself have started to make materials to go along with the stories that we have. Our books are put in with our themes each week so some of them we have gotten to use, and some are on the horizon. I just want to thank you again for allowing my classroom to be apart of such a great program.\r\nAnother one of their favorites so far that we have trialed is the liquid eye droppers. We have used colored water and put them on cotton to watch the color spread. We made Christmas wreathes and trees, and they had so much joy doing this. If gives them the opportunity to create their own magic. \r\nI have several students that sitting still for an activity is really hard for them and being able to implement the sensory seat peddles has allowed my students who require sensory input the opportunity to have movement incorporated into learning.\r\nWe also received a couple puppets and everyday when we read a story a student gets to choose one of the puppets for me to use to read the story. They love this. They are actually staying engaged and watching as I read page per page. \r\nI have one little guy that loves the pop toy with the small hammer. He has a hard time choosing a toy and sticking with it for any amount of time, however this has been a great choice for him.\r\nWe have several more items that are on the horizon to try and I am certain that they are going to enjoy each and every one of them. \r\nBecause of your donations, my students now have access to the tools and resources they need to learn, explore, and grow in ways that were not possible before. Your generosity has brought excitement and joy into our classroom, and it has inspired my students to try new things and to make their own creations. \r\nThank you for investing in our future and for showing my students that there are people who care about their education and their success. Your support has made a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1760659188318,"projectUrl":"project/learning-to-read-to-succeed/9830055/","projectTitle":"Learning to Read to Succeed","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rains","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10312628"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59708","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":423,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.9,"schoolId":59708,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Morris Early Childhood Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Morris Early Childhood Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/milford-school-district/morris-early-childhood-ctr/59708"}
