It is and will be a project that is always needed. Literacy is something that impacts all areas of learning, it impacts cognitive development as well as creativity, emotional development and also increases language development, listening skills, empathy just to mention a little of what literacy does for our children.\r\n\r\nBooks are something that is available to all children throughout the day, teachers read several times a day to the children, as well as reading individually to a child.

These new books are going to such a great addition to our library. We let the children take home one book a week and then return the book at the end of the week. Our take home books were in real need of replacement and so this is such a great gift for our library. Most of the books that were purchased we ordered 2 so we have one copy in our library and one for the take home books, which is so awesome. \r\n\r\nI would like to say, Thank you so much for this donation, it is so appreciated. I always have felt that children who enjoy books in their early years will enjoy them as they grow and enjoy reading, literacy is so important in their life. I know the children will love these books, and these books will help them develop in interest in different topics.\r\nThank you for your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1749416485040,"projectUrl":"project/expand-our-librarys-collection/9227882/","projectTitle":"Expand Our Library's Collection","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Simpson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9990206"},{"teacherId":9300404,"projectId":8565839,"letterContent":"I want to thank you so much for helping donate the items I requested. It has been so wonderful watching the children play and learn with the materials that we got thanks to all the donors. The children have new toys and games to play with and have had so much fun exploring with the new materials. We are encouraged and happy that the children have got some STEM toys to experiment with. The children all gasped with happy faces when they saw the new materials. We use the resources during free play, small groups and large groups. I am so thankful that we are able to help the children explore, learn, and have fun with the new materials. The donors have been so generous to be able to help us and it is so appreciated.

The glue sticks that were donated to us have helped tremendously in getting these alphabet books done and continued throughout the year. The table caddies are AWESOME to keeping the tables neat, items off the floor, things easily accessible to the children. \r\n\r\nThe children were excited to open the packages. They enjoyed the individual crayon boxes and the colored scented markers. They liked the scents and enjoyed smelling them as I wrote on charts. \r\n\r\nWe will be using lots of card stock in making Christmas gifts for the children's families so they can have memorable keepsakes of their child in preschool.","fullyFundedDate":1726581024422,"projectUrl":"project/lets-start-the-year-off-with-awesome-su/8604031/","projectTitle":"Let’s Start the Year Off With Awesome Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jenn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9246422"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_116402","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":38,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":55.6,"schoolId":116402,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rio Grande Child Development & Family Services on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rio Grande Child Development & Family Services","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/office-of-head-start/rio-grande-child-development-family-services/116402"}
