The phonics games, letter tiles, and visual aids are already making a meaningful impact.

These tools empower them to develop essential early literacy skills enjoyably and effectively.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is helping enhance both phonemic awareness and writing development. The materials provide opportunities for students to manipulate sounds, practice letter formation, and construct simple sentences, laying a strong foundation for future literacy success. With such a diverse group of learners, the variety of resources you've provided ensures that all students' needs are met meaningfully and engagingly.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for making such a lasting difference in my classroom and my students' lives.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1727463018220,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-literacy/8573539/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Allred","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9242443"},{"teacherId":1429733,"projectId":8573112,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for your donation for our creative play activities.

With the planting materials, they'll get to plant seeds, observe growth, and learn about the full life cycle of plants—including germination, photosynthesis, and reproduction. And with the poster boards and paints, they'll have the chance to design and create their own towns as we study communities.\r\n\r\nThese resources have helped me meet science standards, but they'll also make learning come alive—sparking curiosity and a love for science that will stay with them.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a real difference, and we are so grateful.
