Their faces lit up with pure excitement as they explored each item, asking questions and eager to begin using everything right away. It truly felt like Christmas morning in our classroom. Many of them immediately said things like, \"We get to use this?\" and \"This is so cool!\"—and that enthusiasm has carried into our daily learning ever since.\r\n\r\nWe have been using the new resources every day to strengthen our reading, writing, and hands-on learning experiences. One of the most special moments was during our small group reading time. Students who previously struggled to stay engaged were fully focused, excited to participate, and proud of themselves as they successfully completed tasks using the new materials. I watched confidence grow right before my eyes. Students are more willing to take risks, try new strategies, and celebrate their progress.\r\n\r\nThese resources have also allowed me to create more interactive and differentiated lessons, meeting the needs of all learners in my classroom. Whether working independently, in small groups, or as a whole class, students are actively engaged and truly enjoying the learning process.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue building on this momentum as we dive deeper into our literacy and math skills. My students are currently working toward becoming stronger, more fluent readers and problem-solvers. These materials will continue to support hands-on activities, small group instruction, and enrichment opportunities that push students to think critically and grow academically.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom environment has been transformed into a space where students feel excited, confident, and motivated to learn every single day. You have truly made a lasting impact on my students' educational journey.","fullyFundedDate":1769177758504,"projectUrl":"project/where-first-grade-success-begins/10039303/","projectTitle":"Where First Grade Success Begins","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Winters","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10054145_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749722162105","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10054145"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47803","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":484,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":74,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":77.2,"schoolId":47803,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McKibben Lane Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McKibben Lane Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/bibb-county-school-district/mckibben-lane-elementary-school/47803"}
