Students are able to explore number concepts, build problem-solving skills, and deepen their understanding through active learning rather than worksheets alone. I've seen increased confidence as students physically model their thinking and explain their strategies.\r\n\r\nThe phonics tools have also had a powerful impact on our ELA instruction. Students are more engaged as they practice letter sounds, word building, and early reading skills using interactive materials. These tools support different learning styles and help make abstract concepts more concrete, especially for students who benefit from hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, learning is more engaging, accessible, and joyful for my students every day. Your generosity has provided resources that will be used throughout the school year and for years to come. Thank you for believing in our classroom and in the power of hands-on learning to help growing minds thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1763601953825,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-for-growing-minds-mat/9745798/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning for Growing Minds: Math Manipulatives & Phonics Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Crerend","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8928420_orig.png?crop=225,225,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755743340658","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-crerend"},{"teacherId":6618577,"projectId":9429203,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the generous contribution to our classroom. This resource allowed me to purchase and print additional resources for my students to help supplement their current curriculum. Being a teacher of ELL students, a lot of extra supports are needed to get my students to bridge their academic and language gaps to become on grade level. I have been able to access so many different interactive resources to help my students grasp new concepts in fun ways. \r\nTheir favorite activity so far has been the phonemic yoga activities. They have a lot of fun stretching and moving to identify correct words or letter sounds. Another fan favorite are the jeopardy reading skill games. They have fun practicing their reading skill within a competition game. These are just some of the interactive supplements I have been able to provide my students to make learning fun, interactive, and helping to bridge their academic gaps.

The joy and anticipation they feel when they see something new on my desk is truly heartwarming — it's like opening a gift every day that brings learning and comfort into their world.\r\n\r\nOne item in particular — the weighted bear — has been a true game changer. It has made an incredible difference for one of my students, who now feels calm and safe enough to join us on the carpet during group time. This simple tool has created a space of belonging and peace, something I wouldn't have been able to provide without your generosity. The anxiety strips have also proven to be a powerful support, not only for my students with special needs but for my general education students as well. These tools are helping all of my students develop emotional regulation skills, manage stress, and feel more confident in the classroom.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart — thank you. Your support has brought more than just materials; it has brought smiles, peace, focus, and a stronger sense of community into our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758290079788,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-support-for-super-students/9665076/","projectTitle":"Sensory Support for Super Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Crerend","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8928420_orig.png?crop=225,225,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755743340658","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-crerend"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22603","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":400,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":91.3,"schoolId":22603,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about North Coleman Road Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"North Coleman Road Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/middle-country-central-school-district/north-coleman-road-elementary-school/22603"}
