The carpet is the best area with the closet proximity to the teacher and board for my children to increase focus during instructional time.\r\n\r\nThe carpet is being used as the main learning space for all of my students throughout the day. Each student has their own learning space/square on the carpet; the closest proximity from the teacher to achieve better outcomes during their learning experiences. The carpet has been used flexibly for whole group as well as well as small group instruction sessions daily. For example, my students are enjoying the carpet (in their own space) as their personal dance floor during Physical Education time as much as leisurely reading quietly on their own in addition to all other subject areas.\r\n\r\nThe multi-colored carpet for my students has definitely been the most important and most used spot in the classroom for learning. When my students gather on the carpet, their focus are on the speaker during active listening and class discussion in whole group and pair-share time. The carpet also makes it easier for me to monitor my students' participations and behaviors all in one central area. The carpet has definitely contributed great growth in my students' focus, ability to listen, and how they are process new skills and concepts. Thank you for making such a positive difference my young scholars' lives.","fullyFundedDate":1779235484093,"projectUrl":"project/a-comfy-rug-to-learn/10253285/","projectTitle":"A Comfy Rug to Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lam, Celyne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1286552_orig.jpg?crop=2146,2146,x169,y401&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752821221762","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1286552"},{"teacherId":1286552,"projectId":10251793,"letterContent":"My students were ecstatic unboxing their newly received markers and sheet protectors. Their smiles were from ear to ear. They expressed how excited they were by making the heart shapes with their fingers.\r\n\r\nThank you for your generous donation of a variety of dry erase markers to help build my students' fingers muscles (fine motor skills). They have been practicing writing with their newly received markers on white boards and their personal booklets created from sheet protectors. It is crucial for kindergarteners to have strong fingers muscle in order to manipulate any writing tool to form letters, shapes, and numbers legibly to be a successful student. My students have been practicing for months and have shown success using their writing tools forming legible letters, words, and numerals daily.\r\n\r\nI am grateful for your contribution by providing the necessary resources to help my students build their fine motor skills and becoming successful writers. They have become more independent leaners with tenacity to refine their penmanship skills and well on their way to become independent writers for the rest of their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1777950224581,"projectUrl":"project/a-writers-dream/10251793/","projectTitle":"A Writer's Dream","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lam, Celyne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1286552_orig.jpg?crop=2146,2146,x169,y401&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752821221762","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1286552"},{"teacherId":1342185,"projectId":10149926,"letterContent":"Thank you for contributing to Music in Action. Students were very excited to practice rhythm exercises using scarves, rhythm sticks, and especially the lollypop drums. Students have been working on their listening skills and coordination. Students have been participating in various lessons with enthusiasm. They love having an actual instrument in their hands during lessons. \r\nStudents have been using these instruments in individual classes, but will soon use them in the Arts Class with the music teacher. Our school has been sent a music teacher that will work with the entire school. Thanks to you, the Music teacher now has class sets of instruments to use during Music class. Up until last year, very few instruments were available and as many as 4 tot 6 students had to share the few that were available. I am certain all students will be thrilled when they get to use the xylophones along with the other instruments as they partake in music-making with the arts teacher.","fullyFundedDate":1774455974238,"projectUrl":"project/music-in-action-instruments-for-active/10149926/","projectTitle":"Music in Action: Instruments for Active Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1342185"},{"teacherId":1286552,"projectId":10253299,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity and support in my students' gross motor development and hand-eye coordinations My students have been enjoying bouncing, catching, and shooting their basketballs into the hoops daily during recess and Physical Education time.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping my students towards learning new skills and healthy habits for life by participating in active play and outdoors learning time.

When they first opened and saw all of the new fun toys and treats, they were ecstatic and couldn't wait to earn them. The class was buzzed with exciting commotions. Ever since the incentive program toys arrived, the children have shown greater concentration and self-regulation in and out of the class. The varieties of goodies have been a successful incentive program. My students have been self-motivated to earn their prizes by completing their tasks and being a productive citizen in school.\r\n\r\nThis incentive program has been enhancing my young learners' school experiences as well as to increase participation and cooperation in our classroom.

However, they have been showing appreciate for every item of their choice. As a result, the children have been kind and productive in learning and peer relations. The children in this school year have shown the greatest gains in test scores compared to previous years. I have a strong believe that the incentive program have greatly impacted my students' as active participants in their learning and high achievements.

All of the students look forward to counting treats/Fun Fridays due to their enjoyment and excitement to counting and eating their goodies such as Skittles, Frosted Animal Crackers, Oreos Mini cookies, and more. Every Friday my young scholars get the same giggly conversational chatters all around the class just like the first day they received the packages. Students are introduced to three to four kinds of snacks prior to counting their treats. Every Friday new snacks/treats are unveiled for the day. When that time comes, the children would clap and cheer in their own way. I often hear, \"Yes, that's my favorite, and yum.\" \r\n\r\nWe are grateful for the galore of treats that have been allowing my class to sort and count by 1s and 10s toward meeting the kindergarten standards. The majority of the class have surpassed counting to 100 by 1s and 10s. We just starting the 2nd semester of the school year, but my young scholars are already exceeding their grade level standards in math; mastering their number sense. We would not have been able to reach such accomplishment without your generous donation. Thank you is not sufficient to express our gratitude for your support and being a part of our success. Our class appreciate your kindness and will continue to grow as mathematicians.","fullyFundedDate":1757521852963,"projectUrl":"project/yummy-counting-collections/9473093/","projectTitle":"Yummy Counting Collections","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lam, Celyne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1286552_orig.jpg?crop=2146,2146,x169,y401&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752821221762","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1286552"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7400","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":218,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":93,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.3,"schoolId":7400,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about 2nd Street Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"2nd Street Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/2nd-street-elementary-school/7400"}
