These games allow students to practice essential skills such as phonics, vocabulary, and reading comprehension in an engaging and hands-on way. For example, during one station rotation, students worked in pairs to match sight words with corresponding images, which sparked a lot of excitement and collaboration. These resources have also encouraged peer-led learning, as students help each other problem-solve while playing.\r\n\r\nThe students were thrilled! Their faces lit up with excitement as they explored the colorful, interactive components of the games. Many of them couldn't wait to dive in and started experimenting with the materials right away. Several students even commented on how \"fun\" learning felt with the new games. It's been amazing to see their enthusiasm and increased engagement during literacy time.","fullyFundedDate":1727053346181,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-stations-for-k-4/8809656/","projectTitle":"Literacy Stations For K-4","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Estopare","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8145882"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78605","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":11,"numTeachers":2,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"5.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":null,"schoolId":78605,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sunset Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sunset Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/sunset-school-district-30/sunset-elementary-school/78605"}
