I am a fifth-grade teacher on a campus that serves students from kindergarten through fifth grade, and my goal this year has been to make our school experience both positive and memorable for our students.\r\n\r\nI have been an educator for over 20 years, and the students we teach today face challenges that are very different from those of past generations. Many students are navigating significant personal hardships outside of school, which can make it difficult for them to prioritize learning. In recent years, we have also seen an increase in disrespectful and disruptive behaviors across classrooms and throughout our building. As a result, I wanted to find a meaningful way to motivate and encourage students to make positive choices.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, teachers are able to nominate one student each month who consistently demonstrates respectful, responsible, and safe behavior. These students are recognized at a school assembly by our assistant principals and principal. They receive certificates, yard signs, small rewards, and their photograph is displayed on our fifth-grade hallway bulletin board for the entire school community to see.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made it possible for me to produce the certificates and photographs that honor these students. Thank you for supporting our efforts to motivate and inspire students to make positive choices and for making a lasting impact on our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1758202737524,"projectUrl":"project/spotlighting-sensational-student-behavio/9526265/","projectTitle":"Spotlighting Sensational Student Behavior","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. LeBlanc","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2149099_orig.jpg?crop=1945,1945,x0,y247&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754082197027","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2149099"},{"teacherId":7803766,"projectId":9450325,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! Your generous gift of word work boards and Elkonin box boards has made such a meaningful impact on my students' learning.\r\n\r\nWe use these boards daily during small group reading interventions. The Elkonin boxes help my students break words into sounds and really see how letters and sounds work together, while the word work boards give them a hands-on way to build and manipulate words. One of my favorite moments so far was watching a struggling reader confidently tap out the sounds in ship and then beam with pride when he built it correctly on his board. Moments like this show just how powerful these tools are for building confidence and skills.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the boards, their eyes lit up. They couldn't wait to get their hands on them, and I could hear excited whispers of, \"This looks fun!\" The materials have turned word work into something they look forward to each day.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we'll continue using these resources to deepen phonics practice with UFLI lessons. My students are moving into more complex word patterns, and the boards will give them the structure and support they need to take that next step.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your kindness and investment in our learning. You've given my students tools that make reading feel achievable, and even exciting!","fullyFundedDate":1755725137164,"projectUrl":"project/building-strong-readers-one-word-at-a-t/9450325/","projectTitle":"Building Strong Readers, One Word at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gully","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7803766_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1617746209086","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7803766"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104989","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1195,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":44,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"23.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.8,"schoolId":104989,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ridge Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ridge Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/humble-independent-school-district/ridge-creek-elementary-school/104989"}
