The scholars were also able to see how their mouth, tongue, and teeth play an important role with speaking, forming, and pronouncing letter sounds.\r\n \r\nThe second letter activity involved students blending words with picture cards. The students also worked in small groups to select a picture card and then built the consonant vowel, consonant word, and because of this, the students were able to learn how to independently spell and read words.","fullyFundedDate":1764964092119,"projectUrl":"project/letter-sound-formation/9803503/","projectTitle":"Letter Sound Formation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8885734"},{"teacherId":4672142,"projectId":9755271,"letterContent":"Many of my students don't naturally love reading because it's something they've always struggled with. But thanks to your generosity, that's starting to change. The new books in our classroom have made independent reading time something they actually look forward to. Having stories that match their interests and reading levels has helped build confidence and curiosity in ways I hadn't seen before.\r\n\r\nNow, instead of sighs when it's time to read, I hear, \"Can I keep going?\" During independent reading, students are more focused and excited to find books that fit them—stories about kids like them, graphic novels they can actually follow, and series that make them want to know what's coming next.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just fill our shelves—you helped my students see that they can be readers.

The new small group table and stools have already made a meaningful difference in our classroom.

We continue to utilized the donated supplies for more projects! This self-portrait project has had a meaningful impact on my K–5 students because it has given them an opportunity to explore both art and their own identities. With the new art materials provided by our generous donors, students have been able to create self-portraits that are personal, creative, and reflective of who they are. Rather than simply drawing a face, students have been learning how artists use observation, proportion, color, line, shape, and detail to communicate ideas about themselves. The project has also helped students understand that there is no single \"right\" way to create a self-portrait. Each student's artwork is unique because each student is unique.\r\n\r\nWe are using the new resources throughout the different stages of our K–5 self-portrait project. Depending on their grade level, students are practicing skills such as drawing facial features, observing their own characteristics, mixing and selecting colors that represent skin tones and hair, and adding personal details to their artwork. Younger students are focusing on basic shapes, facial features, and recognizing what makes their appearance special, while older students are working with greater attention to proportion, shading, texture, and personal expression.","fullyFundedDate":1675213919978,"projectUrl":"project/k-5th-self-portraits/7149025/","projectTitle":"K-5th: Self Portraits","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alansalon Oghogho","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8939052_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x219,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674575310600","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/artwithmsa"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64976","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":433,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":63,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":34.0,"schoolId":64976,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about William Beanes Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"William Beanes Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/prince-george-s-county-public-schools/william-beanes-elementary-school/64976"}
