They enjoy multisensory activities, especially the little boys. I am now able to get them to make words with the puzzles and write them in their journals.

Because of your generosity, next year, we will receive the print and digital versions for first, second, and third grades (as well as the supplemental Science Spin for K-1).

We play online games and discuss new vocabulary, which helps with literacy skills.\r\n\r\nThank you again for choosing me and supporting this project. You mentioned enjoying these magazines as a child, and these children will also enjoy them because of you.","fullyFundedDate":1742922509634,"projectUrl":"project/scholastic-news-for-nonfiction-learning/9184936/","projectTitle":"Scholastic News for Nonfiction Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cloman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp118465_orig.png?crop=1449,1449,x0,y131&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742471675675","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/robin-james"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6387","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":718,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":74,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.8,"schoolId":6387,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rice Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rice Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/richland-school-district-two/rice-creek-elementary-school/6387"}
