Your support has made a meaningful impact on our daily learning and organization, and I wanted to share with you how your donations are being used to benefit my students.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our young writers now have double-sided mini whiteboards that they use during phonics and writing lessons. These boards have been incredibly helpful for practicing letter formation, spelling, and sentence structure in an engaging and reusable way.\r\n\r\nThe word spacing tools have become a favorite among students—they're helping learners visually understand how to organize their writing on paper, making their sentences clearer and more readable.\r\n\r\nMany of my students are also benefiting from the pencil grip tools, which support proper hand positioning and are encouraging stronger fine motor skills, especially for those who struggle with grip and writing stamina.\r\n\r\nTo keep our materials accessible and organized, we're using the storage containers daily. The kids now know exactly where to find their writing tools, which helps build independence and keep our classroom running smoothly.\r\n\r\nThe file folders have transformed the way I organize writing assessments. It's now much easier to track student progress, store writing samples, and plan individualized support.\r\n\r\nLastly, the roller stamp that adds lines to paper has been an absolute game changer. It allows me to quickly prep lined spaces for students on any activity, supporting neat handwriting and structure across all subjects.\r\n\r\nYour donation has brought more than just tools—it has brought ease, structure, and a boost in confidence to every one of my students. Thank you for investing in our classroom and for believing in the power of education.","fullyFundedDate":1735423006342,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-early-learners/8733136/","projectTitle":"Empowering Early Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2935346_orig.png?crop=387,387,x358,y155&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690660437425","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2935346"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_30368","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":786,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":15,"percentAsian":16,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"25.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":92.0,"schoolId":30368,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Washington Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Washington Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/redondo-beach-unified-school-district/washington-elementary-school/30368"}
