They absolutely love the rug's ocean theme and it's soft blue and green color palette. It's the perfect rug for creating a calm place to read. \r\n\r\nNow during our silent reading block they can't wait to go into our classroom library to choose a new book or partner read with a friend.

Colors are great and they are soft and comfy - perfect for getting lost in a book!\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous donation, I now have enough flexible seating for a whole reading group to sit together and choral read their book club books.

Every month, teachers are encouraged to sign up for 15 minute read aloud time in which I am able to bring along one of our donated books for reading and discussion time. \r\n\r\nIn these past few months, students ages 4 to 11 have been able to witness how two cousins cross the US-Mexico border to visit each other in their hometowns, comparing their similarities despite their geological locations (My Town, Mi Pueblo). They've had the opportunity to learn about the history and significance of frybread (Frybread) and about an 8 year old who's passion for skin color representation propelled her to advocate for skin color crayons of varying shades (More Than Peach). 5th grade students have been able to connect their education on the importance of water filtration systems with the native efforts in water advocacy (We Are Water Protectors). Students have felt empowered to ask their families questions about their heritage (Where are You From?) and to seek insight on the meaning of their family names (Alma and How She Got Her Name). In particular, a 1st grade student enthusiastically sought me out to share that she'd investigated where her last name originated from and what her first name means, just like Alma.\r\n\r\nThis collection of books have helped introduce our students to take in new perspectives and insights; it has allowed for their curiosity and understanding to grow. We truly appreciate the many learning opportunities that have been provided through your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1756531528243,"projectUrl":"project/books-to-represent-connect-and-embrace/9608146/","projectTitle":"Books to Represent, Connect and Embrace Diversity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carrillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9335037_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1710283467060","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9335037"},{"teacherId":5868618,"projectId":9679876,"letterContent":"Thank you! The heavy duty art drying racks are a game changer!\r\nBecause of your donation, we were able to purchase a beautiful set of drying racks! These drying racks have been used for so many wonderful projects created by the children. \r\nWe have used the racks to dry glittery cards for the cafeteria ladies, we have also used the racks to dry watercolor paintings and fingerpainting activities. \r\nThe racks provide a sense of pride for the children as they place their completed projects on the drying rack versus on the floor of the classroom.\r\nThe racks have also freed up space for learning, when projects used to be dried on the classroom floor. \r\nWe also use the acrylic free-standing frames daily.

The children choose one or two stickers as their character focus, then they create a background scene around the stickers. After the picture is created, they have a focus to write about. We spend out writing time creating imaginative sentences describing the sticker story pictures they have created.\r\nThe Squishyland game is by far the best game I have played with the children at school!

We are very happy to have the mini photo bins for storage! We use these to store puzzles we use for math and Language Arts time. These bins are very useful as they keep each time of puzzle in its own space. In the past, I would use plastic baggies, but these would often get a hole in them or become torn and the pieces would get lost. Now, that we have the miniature bins, we are able to store our learning supplies and be able to quickly access them when we need them.\r\nThe phonics building flip card kits have been a big hit now that the children are able to blend letters to make words. They use their whiteboard markers to write and build words in the flip book. These have made a big difference in our independent work time.

I have worked with the students to write out sight words to create and build sentences to reinforce sight word knowledge and reading comprehension.\r\nThe Calming Stickers have been a great addition for the students in my class who need that little bit of extra personal attention. I have stuck these calm stickers to the side of their desk (and even to the underside of the desk) so they have something to touch and trace when calming down from a tantrum or from an anxiety spike.\r\nThe alphabet felt letters have added so much to our Language Arts independent learning time! The students will build focus words and word family words with the felt letters on a felt board and then write out the words on little notepads.\r\nThe turkey stickers have been fun to add to their homework folders. Each week the kids return their homework folders, I add a themed sticker to their folder to reward them for great practice work at home.

These lessons go beyond science; they nurture empathy, independence, and confidence.\r\n\r\nBecause most of my students are English Language Learners, this project helps strengthen their language development. The addition of books and stories about plants, gardening, and the environment give them access to vocabulary and content that connects directly to what they're learning in science. Reading, writing, and speaking about what they're growing will help make both subjects come alive.\r\n\r\nThanks to this project, my students will not only understand the plant cycle more, but also see themselves as capable learners and caretakers of the world around them.","fullyFundedDate":1746785272286,"projectUrl":"project/first-graders-learning-and-growing/9244016/","projectTitle":"First Graders Learning and Growing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Keegan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9993421_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755446732385","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-keegan-smith"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5174","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":441,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":95,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"18.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":82.6,"schoolId":5174,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roseland Elementary Leadership Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roseland Elementary Leadership Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/roseland-school-district/roseland-elementary-school/5174"}
