At our Title I school, where nearly 90% of families fall within the federal poverty guidelines, resources are often limited and parents are not always able to contribute financially to classroom needs. Your donation helps bridge that gap and ensures that my students receive the high-quality academic tools and experiences they deserve. Because of you, they will have access to meaningful learning opportunities that will truly enrich their education.\r\n\r\nWith your support, our classroom will now have subscriptions to Time for Kids, a resource that sparks curiosity, builds nonfiction literacy skills, and inspires students to think critically about the world around them. I have seen firsthand how much joy and enthusiasm students feel when these magazines arrive, they cannot wait to open the box, flip through the articles, and begin discussing, debating, and writing about the issues that matter to them. Thanks to you, they will be able to engage in these powerful conversations week after week.\r\n\r\nYour contribution makes a lasting difference in the lives of my students, not just in their reading and writing growth, but in their confidence, excitement, and sense of connection to the wider world. Thank you for believing in their potential and for helping me foster a love of learning that will carry them far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1550185499393,"projectUrl":"project/time-for-kids-arizona-classroom-needs-w/3862766/","projectTitle":"Time for Kids: Arizona Classroom Needs Weekly Current Events Subscription","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Munsey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5667462_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1546479349016","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kimber"},{"teacherId":10004604,"projectId":9269889,"letterContent":"Thanks to the generosity of donors, my classroom has already seen such a positive change from our very first fully funded project! The 3 packs of 24 brand new headphones have given every student the chance to focus during independent work, reading programs, and assessments without distractions. For many of my students, this is the first time they've had their own working headphones, and it has made learning feel more personal and engaging.\r\n\r\nThe pre sharpened pencils have been a simple but powerful gift—students no longer have to waste time waiting in line to sharpen or worry about not having the tools they need. They can jump right into learning confidently and stay focused on their work.\r\n\r\nThe Clorox wipes have helped keep our classroom clean, safe, and welcoming. My students notice the difference, and they take pride in learning in a space that feels cared for.\r\n\r\nAltogether, these supplies have not only supported academics but also boosted classroom community and confidence.

They touch a dot under the letter to sound the word out and then slide their finger to say the words. They come with pictures to match up to the word after they have read it. \r\n The students love their folders and they really love to read the word cards! They get so excited to be reading!
