Your generosity is making a real difference for some of the students who need it most.\r\n\r\nDuring the last 45 minutes of each school day, I work with a small group of 12 students who are significantly behind in reading. My goal is to help them build the skills and confidence they need to be successful readers, but finding the right materials for their different needs has been a challenge.\r\n\r\nThese resources have changed that completely. I am able to divide my students into three groups based on their reading levels and target the specific skills each group needs to practice. Having quality materials ready to use each day allows me to spend less time creating lessons and more time working directly with my students.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make this opportunity possible. Your kindness and generosity are opening doors for my students every day.","fullyFundedDate":1787175639567,"projectUrl":"project/reading-confidence-starts-here/10500310/","projectTitle":"Reading Confidence Starts Here","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Livingston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp625718_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1539405592446","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/625718"},{"teacherId":6387394,"projectId":10382303,"letterContent":"Wow! The impact of having books paired with audio recordings has been incredible. Even though we have only completed the first quarter of the school year, I have already seen tremendous growth in my students' engagement, confidence, and comprehension. They are eager to find out which book they will be reading and listening to next, and they are becoming more active participants during our lessons. We typically use each book over several sessions, beginning with a picture walk where students discuss the illustrations and make predictions. Next, we read the book together, and finally, students listen to the audio recording while following along with the text. Watching my students make stronger connections between the spoken and written words, build their vocabulary, and grow into more confident readers has been one of the greatest rewards.

Our new classroom rug has quickly become the heart of our kindergarten classroom, and we could not be more grateful for your generosity.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw their new rug, they were SO excited! Their faces lit up, and they couldn't wait to gather together on it. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm over something that has already become such an important part of our daily classroom life.\r\n\r\nOur rug is so much more than a place to sit. It is the epicenter of our classroom, where we come together for whole-group learning, story time, morning routines, classroom discussions, and so many other special moments throughout the day. It gives our students a designated space to gather as a classroom family, build connections with one another, and prepare their minds for learning.\r\n\r\nIn kindergarten, having a comfortable and inviting space to come together makes such a difference. Our new rug helps create that sense of community and belonging that is so important during these early years of school. It is exactly what our classroom needed!\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping make our classroom a place where they feel excited, comfortable, and ready to learn each day.

Your contribution is already making an impact on my students. Our bulletin boards have been showcased at a staff meeting as they are well organized and provide students needed insight into what they are learning. Having neat, attractive displays sets a positive learning environment that is welcoming to students.\r\n\r\nThe posters add positive and inspiring messages that remind students that there is much learning ahead of them. The stopwatches have become an important tool in helping student's tract their reading goals which are timed and graphed two times a week.\r\n\r\nI also really appreciate the teacher planning book. I am a visual learner myself and if I don't write it down, I don't remember what is going on. Keeping lesson notes in a beautiful book allows me to grab it and take it to meetings or home.

We had so many students wanting to use them that we had to set a time limit to switch with another activity.\r\n\r\nOur curriculum includes racquet sports and having the quick set up allows the students to be able to help with the set up therefore giving them more time to be able play.

We've put the kit to use in three ways so far.\r\nFirst, all students have an option to complete the digital \"Lock of the Day\" as part of their choice board during an intervention period. This is an excellent way for students that don't need any extra help to get to do something challenging and push themselves, instead of just practicing skills they have mastered.\r\nSecond, on days before a holiday, or days before a break, students have worked on digital break outs. Access to the game library has given me an option that is both fun and academically worthwhile, not a coloring sheet or crossword puzzle.\r\nFinally, we have attempted one physical breakout as a class. We didn't make it, but students were actively engaged, and learning to support each other to figure out difficult puzzles. We will certainly work on more of them as a culminating activity for units to come.\r\nThank you again for brining some joy, and helping to build some grit, to my fourth grade class.","fullyFundedDate":1762048856127,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-breakout/9867752/","projectTitle":"Help Us Breakout!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Price","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2512160_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449459551278","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2512160"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67001","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":676,"numTeachers":55,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.3,"schoolId":67001,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Paseo Hills Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Paseo Hills Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/deer-valley-unified-school-district/paseo-hills-elementary-school/67001"}
