The Class of 2039, as well as many classes in the future, will benefit from your generosity & commitment to ensuring they have an engaging & enriching Pre K year.\r\n\r\nThe buzzers have made a huge difference in helping my Pre-K students learn center routines and expectations. By pressing the buzzers, the children receive clear reminders of what they are supposed to do in each center, which has reduced the need for constant adult redirection. This has given students more independence and ownership of their work, as they are able to understand and follow the tasks on their own. The buzzers allow the children to know exactly what they are doing and learning in each center without needing to stop and ask an adult, making transitions smoother and learning time more effective.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the buzzers have provided a fun way to integrate technology while still keeping activities hands-on. The recordings model important language and vocabulary, and I've already noticed students beginning to repeat the words and phrases they hear. This repetition has supported both their oral language development and their understanding of academic concepts. Overall, the buzzers have enhanced student engagement, built confidence, and supported a more purposeful learning environment in our classroom centers.","fullyFundedDate":1746842545952,"projectUrl":"project/buzzing-into-learning-with-recordable-an/9301404/","projectTitle":"Buzzing Into Learning with Recordable Answer Buzzers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Szydlik","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10009735_orig.jpg?crop=580,580,x0,y241&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746463403299","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10009735"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_124184","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":464,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":34,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":61,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.9,"schoolId":124184,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ridgemont Early Literacy Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ridgemont Early Literacy Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/fort-bend-independent-school-district/ridgemont-early-literacy-center/124184"}
