Your contributions have made a tangible difference in my classroom, empowering my students to build essential reading and writing skills with enthusiasm and confidence. \r\n\r\nWith these resources, I've been able to create engaging and effective phonics activities tailored to my students' needs. The books provided a rich foundation for crafting word lists that target specific phonetic patterns, allowing students to practice decoding and encoding with precision. These word lists have become a cornerstone of our daily phonics instruction, helping students recognize and manipulate sounds in a structured yet dynamic way. Watching my students grow more confident as they master new words is a joy, and it's all thanks to your support.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful activities we've implemented with these resources is the use of Elkonin boxes. My students have loved using these boxes to break down words into individual sounds, physically moving markers to represent each phoneme. This hands-on approach has been a game-changer, especially for my struggling readers, who now approach word-building with excitement rather than frustration. The ability to provide these interactive tools stems directly from your donations, and the progress I've seen in my students' phonemic awareness is remarkable.\r\n\r\nWe've also incorporated word sorts, which have added an element of discovery to our phonics lessons. Using the books you helped me acquire, I created word sorts that challenge students to categorize words based on their phonetic features. This activity not only reinforces their understanding of sound patterns but also encourages critical thinking and collaboration as they work together to sort and discuss words. The smiles and \"aha\" moments during these lessons are a testament to how your contributions are fostering a love for learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and generosity. I am so thankful for your partnership in helping my students shine.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,\r\nMrs. Malaj","fullyFundedDate":1737915214989,"projectUrl":"project/first-graders-love-words/9062564/","projectTitle":"First Graders Love Words","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Malaj","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3645602_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1473459508839","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3645602"},{"teacherId":9832456,"projectId":8934874,"letterContent":"I want to thank you for having such a positive impact on my students this school year. As soon as I set up the calming corner with the materials you donated, their eyes lit up! They felt a security knowing that there were tools to help them regulate their emotions during those extra difficult moments. Whenever they need a break, they know they can sit on the bean bag chair and use the materials to help with deep breathing, focus, and/or tuning out whatever else is going on. \r\n\r\nThey also love using the weighted stuffed animals during whole group instruction. The weighted stuffed animals help them to focus and also make them feel safe. They love using the floor mats as well during small group and partner work! I often take my students in the hallway to teach small group lessons when they are easily distracted. They use the floor mats, so that they are comfortable while learning.
