Because of your contributions, I have been able to strengthen my teaching practices and provide more meaningful learning experiences for my students. Your investment has made a lasting impact not only on my development as an educator but also on the success and confidence of the students I serve each day.\r\n\r\nWith the new resources, I have been able to implement more engaging and effective literacy strategies in my classroom. I am using these tools to support differentiated instruction, allowing me to meet the diverse needs of my learners. My students are now more actively involved in reading and writing, using graphic organizers, interactive activities, and structured discussions to deepen their understanding of texts.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite classroom moments was watching a student who once struggled with writing proudly share their completed narrative with the class. This student used the strategies and resources gained through this project to organize their ideas and write with confidence. Seeing their excitement and growth reminded me just how powerful these tools are—not just academically, but emotionally as well.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, I am excited to continue growing as an educator. I look forward to strengthening my ability to teach critical thinking through reading and helping students make deeper connections with texts. I am especially excited about upcoming units where students will explore storytelling, develop their own voices as writers, and engage in collaborative literacy activities.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and in me. Your generosity has created opportunities that will continue to inspire learning, growth, and confidence in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1748548155372,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-training-with-orton-gillingham/9090580/","projectTitle":"Literacy Training with Orton-Gillingham","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Serra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9912552_orig.jpg?crop=479,479,x0,y62&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738338059734","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9912552"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104478","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":119,"numTeachers":6,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":51,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":25.0,"schoolId":104478,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pinecrest Creek Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pinecrest Creek Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/orange-county-public-schools/pinecrest-creek-charter-school/104478"}
