Your investment in my students' learning and engagement is truly appreciated.\r\n\r\nYou know you've made it as a teacher when your students beg to learn, and thanks to your generosity, that is exactly what is happening in my classroom. Gimkit has transformed the way my students practice essential skills by turning learning into an exciting, interactive experience.\r\n\r\nWith your support, my students are able to continue using Gimkit to strengthen their math facts, vocabulary, and spelling skills in a fun and meaningful way. Each week, students collaborate to create their own games, practice through engaging game modes, and reinforce important concepts both in class and at home. Activities like drawing and guessing words not only build academic skills but also support fine motor development and teamwork.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, Gimkit has helped foster a strong sense of community in our classroom. Students work together, encourage one another, and take pride in their learning—skills that carry over into other areas of their school day.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the headphones provided through this grant ensure that all students can fully participate in these interactive activities without distractions, allowing for a focused and respectful learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1692400138915,"projectUrl":"project/gimkit-if-kahoot-and-quizlet-had-a-baby/7365534/","projectTitle":"Gimkit: if Kahoot and Quizlet Had a Baby","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hooper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5024935_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516241145994","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/josmith"},{"teacherId":5024935,"projectId":7350293,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my classroom. I am incredibly grateful for your investment in my students and their learning.\r\n\r\nI teach 3rd grade to a diverse and enthusiastic group of students in rural Limestone County, just outside of Huntsville, Alabama. My students are eager to learn, wonderfully creative, and naturally skilled with technology. They bring so much energy and excitement into the classroom each day.\r\n\r\nThis year, our district has adopted a new reading curriculum, Benchmark Advance. While it is a strong and engaging program, the transition requires additional supplemental materials to fully support student learning. Because of your generosity, I will be able to purchase high-quality resources that enhance instruction and meet my students' needs.\r\n\r\nThe Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to access materials from Markers and Minions, including Close Reading Companions, comprehension questions, and digital word work activities. These resources will provide meaningful practice, reinforce key reading skills, and help ensure that all students are supported as they grow as readers.\r\n\r\nYour support is making a direct impact on my students' success by giving them access to engaging, effective learning tools. Thank you for helping me provide the resources they need to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1683660337698,"projectUrl":"project/goodbye-wonders-hello-benchmark-advance/7350293/","projectTitle":"Goodbye Wonders, Hello Benchmark Advance","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hooper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5024935_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516241145994","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/josmith"},{"teacherId":3182544,"projectId":9392483,"letterContent":"This project has truly been a life saver for our class, making our room feel significantly more inviting and comforting. When the materials first arrived, my students were beyond excited; their faces lit up seeing that someone cared enough to invest in their physical comfort and well-being. Many of them immediately commented on how \"cozy\" the room felt, and it has completely shifted the energy of our daily routine.\r\n\r\nWe are currently using the \"Comfort Zone\" resources as a designated space for independent reading and emotional regulation. For example, just yesterday, a student who was feeling overwhelmed chose to take their book to our new area. Within minutes, they were focused, calm, and successfully completed their assignment. These resources allow my students to choose a workspace that fits their sensory needs, which has led to increased focus and a much more positive classroom culture. Moving forward, we plan to use this space as our primary \"launch pad\" for new creative writing lessons, where students can brainstorm in a relaxed, stress-free environment.","fullyFundedDate":1758810075449,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-zone/9392483/","projectTitle":"Comfort Zone","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moye","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3182544_orig.jpg?crop=1090,1090,x0,y112&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720899399531","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amy-moye"},{"teacherId":3182544,"projectId":9874373,"letterContent":"My student shave fallen in love with these graphic novels.

By programming Artie to draw shapes and designs, students practice sequencing, loops, and angles in a hands-on way that makes abstract coding concepts more concrete. They also connect math skills, such as geometry, measurement, and symmetry, to real-world applications as they see Artie's movements translate into lines and patterns. Beyond math and coding, Artie fosters critical thinking and problem-solving, as students must plan their designs, predict outcomes, and debug when results don't match their expectations.","fullyFundedDate":1743044630455,"projectUrl":"project/smarty-artie-coding/9081406/","projectTitle":"Smarty Artie Coding","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moye","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3182544_orig.jpg?crop=1090,1090,x0,y112&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720899399531","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amy-moye"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9930","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":545,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":64,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":93.6,"schoolId":9930,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Creekside Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Creekside Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/limestone-county-school-district/creekside-elementary-school/9930"}
