The new literacy and math resources have brought excitement to our daily lessons. During our recent reading workshop, students eagerly grabbed the colorful books and literacy tools, exploring stories and practicing sight words with renewed enthusiasm. In math, hands-on manipulatives have made number concepts more tangible—one of our shy learners even volunteered to lead a counting activity for the first time!\r\n\r\nThe moment my students first saw the materials was truly heartwarming—eyes wide, smiles bright, and little hands reaching out with curiosity. Their energy filled the room, and it was clear that these resources would make learning not only more effective but also more joyful. Beyond academics, the wellness tools have helped create a calmer, more focused environment, giving students the space to regulate their emotions and re-engage with their tasks.\r\n\r\nOur next steps include integrating these resources into ongoing literacy and math challenges, fostering both skill mastery and teamwork. We are also planning a \"Readers and Problem-Solvers of the Month\" recognition to celebrate progress and boost motivation. Your support has empowered my students to see themselves as capable, confident learners—and for that, we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1741555960845,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-young-gambell-learners-enha/9045065/","projectTitle":"\"Empowering Young Gambell Learners: Enhancing Literacy, Math, and Classroom Wellness\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Janine Banguanga","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9188562_orig.jpg?crop=429,429,x115,y148&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736452952236","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9188562"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42493","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":169,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":null,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":78,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":false,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":39.4,"schoolId":42493,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about John Apangalook School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"John Apangalook School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/bering-strait-school-district/john-apangalook-school/42493"}
