These games have become an exciting part of our learning time. Students work together in small groups to practice reading, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills while also learning how to communicate and cooperate with one another.\r\n\r\nWhen the games first arrived, students were thrilled and eager to start playing. They quickly began encouraging one another, taking turns, and reminding each other about the importance of playing respectfully and working as a team.\r\n\r\nWe now use the board games during literacy centers and group activities. Students are building important reading skills while also developing teamwork, patience, and positive communication.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue using the games during our ELA centers to strengthen comprehension, vocabulary, and problem-solving skills. Your support has helped create a fun, engaging learning environment where students grow academically and socially.

Because of your donation of snacks, our students were able to create a small classroom food pantry to help support classmates who stay after school for tutoring and extra academic help.\r\n\r\nWhen the snacks arrived, students were excited and proud to organize the pantry together. They carefully sorted the items and talked about how these resources could help classmates who may not always have access to food after school. It was a powerful moment that helped students understand the importance of kindness, empathy, and helping others.\r\n\r\nNow, students who stay later for tutoring can grab a snack before we begin our work. This small act helps them feel cared for, comfortable, and ready to focus on learning. Your generosity has not only provided food, but also taught my students the value of compassion and community.

These experiences encourage patience, attention to detail, and pride in their work.\r\nThe student marketplace in May will be a powerful culminating experience. Students will showcase the items they have designed and created, giving them a sense of ownership and accomplishment. Through this process, they will practice planning, teamwork, and presentation skills while learning basic concepts related to entrepreneurship and budgeting.\r\nMost importantly, this project will help students see that their ideas and creativity have real value.

Participating in a spelling bee reinforces phonics patterns, sight words, vocabulary development, and word recognition — all essential skills for becoming strong, independent readers. Through consistent practice, students will improve spelling accuracy, decoding skills, and overall reading fluency.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, this experience nurtures confidence and public speaking skills. Standing in front of peers to spell a word takes courage. As students prepare and participate, they learn perseverance, focus, and resilience. Whether they win or simply try their best, every child gains experience in setting goals, practicing diligently, and celebrating growth.\r\n\r\nThe spelling bee also promotes leadership. Students learn to encourage one another, model sportsmanship, and take pride in their learning. These early experiences with positive competition and accountability help shape students into confident communicators and future leaders.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project fosters a joyful literacy culture in our classroom. When students feel excited about words, they become excited about reading. And when they are confident readers, they are empowered learners.\r\n\r\nThis spelling bee is more than a competition — it is an opportunity to build strong readers, confident speakers, and future leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1772046664009,"projectUrl":"project/first-grade-spelling-bee-building-confi/10099943/","projectTitle":"First Grade Spelling Bee: Building Confident Readers & Leaders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Francois","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4427940_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1492883580360","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4427940"},{"teacherId":5924401,"projectId":9903280,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting this project and helping my students grow in so many ways.
