The fun, silly, and catchy songs make even the most challenging concepts easy for students to remember. Whether we're learning about main idea, figurative language, or context clues, the videos help break down ideas in a way that sticks. Students sing along, dance, and laugh while still mastering important reading skills—and that energy carries over into our independent and small-group lessons.\r\n\r\nThe best part is how Flocabulary reaches students with non-traditional learning styles. Some of my students who usually struggle to stay focused during reading lessons are now the first ones to participate. They love the music, movement, and humor, and it helps them feel confident in their understanding. Because of your generous donation, every student is engaged, having fun, and developing a stronger love for reading. Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and helping make learning exciting and meaningful for all students!","fullyFundedDate":1754597361993,"projectUrl":"project/learning-flows-with-flocabulary/9440162/","projectTitle":"Learning Flows with Flocabulary!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Teagarden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5819918_orig.jpg?crop=956,956,x0,y70&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650919998179","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nteagarden"},{"teacherId":5819918,"projectId":9619649,"letterContent":"Our class was so excited when the new flexible seating cushions arrived. The students couldn't wait to try them out and immediately started exploring different spots around the room to read. It was amazing to see how quickly they settled into cozy corners, under tables, and near windows, each finding their own \"just right\" reading spot. The excitement and joy on their faces made it clear that this small change made a big difference in how they felt about reading time.\r\n\r\nThese cushions have encouraged students to take ownership of their learning space and discover what helps them focus best. Many of my students now look forward to independent reading time because it feels fun and comfortable, not like an assignment. We've seen an increase in both stamina and enthusiasm during our reading blocks.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll continue using the cushions during partner reading and small group lessons to keep that same flexible, student-centered energy going.

From the moment they saw the incubator and eggs, the room was filled with curiosity and energy. Every day, students checked the temperature and humidity, tracked the countdown to hatch day, and recorded their observations in their chicken journals. When the first chick finally hatched, the classroom erupted in cheers. It was such a special moment that no one will forget.\r\n\r\nThis project gave students the chance to see the entire chicken life cycle up close while learning responsibility and care for living things. They've been so engaged, asking great questions about how animals grow, what they need to survive, and how to keep them safe. Watching them connect science lessons to something real and meaningful has been amazing.\r\n\r\nThe excitement has spread throughout the school. Other classes visit daily to peek at the chicks, and younger students can't wait until they reach third grade to have their turn. We'll continue to care for the chickens in our outdoor coop as we learn more about ecosystems and life cycles. This project has left a lasting impact not only on our students but on our whole school community.","fullyFundedDate":1746498328323,"projectUrl":"project/cluckers-green-elementary-chickens/9170783/","projectTitle":"Clucker's Green Elementary Chickens!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Teagarden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5819918_orig.jpg?crop=956,956,x0,y70&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650919998179","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nteagarden"},{"teacherId":9517287,"projectId":9629921,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project!

The adjustable font sizes and built-in dictionary also make reading more accessible for struggling readers, English language learners, and students with vision challenges, boosting their confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nBeyond reading, the Kindles have encouraged a stronger culture of responsibility and excitement around learning. Students are more motivated to read when they can carry a library in their hands, and they take pride in caring for the devices. Teachers benefit as well, with the ability to quickly assign texts, highlight important passages, and track student progress digitally. Overall, the integration of Kindles has not only modernized the classroom experience but also fostered deeper engagement, equity, and ownership in students' learning journeys.","fullyFundedDate":1746549424698,"projectUrl":"project/igniting-minds-leveraging-kindle-fires/9310015/","projectTitle":"Igniting Minds: Leveraging Kindle Fires to Boost Literacy and Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Embry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9517287_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1713777561162","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9517287"},{"teacherId":875651,"projectId":9056978,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions to this project.
