Now every child may have something to mark corrections or areas for revision. \r\n\r\n Our poster paper has helped the students test scores increase with more anchor charts for our skills and sample responses. The students have enjoyed having a more accessible reference in the backdrop of the room. Some have even asked to visit the room for part of their extra-curricular time to study the examples more and ask for clarification on the steps. Families with struggling students have enjoyed getting to take home some of the retired posters for skills that will return with a higher rigor model.\r\n\r\n Ms. Johnson's library is back up and running. The students are running with it and have eagerly filled up our sign-out whiteboard for the thanksgiving break. We're looking forward to an increase in our passed AR tests now that there is a daily access area for students to check-out books. The fourth grade class are learning character traits like responsibility and how to share though the library. \r\n\r\n The adhesives (alien tape, Velcro tape) are making placing and replacing the posters faster. The students classwork scores have been increasing. I attribute this fact in part to the speed in which we can get the posters up with strong and minimal adhesives.\r\n\r\n Thank you so much for supporting our class.","fullyFundedDate":1755698442696,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-library-and-literacy/9543289/","projectTitle":"Classroom Library and Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10114384_orig.jpg?crop=774,774,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754438710243","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10114384"},{"teacherId":3866283,"projectId":8890032,"letterContent":"We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude for your generosity and support! Your contribution has had a profound impact on our students' learning experience, particularly during \"Word Work.\" Because of your kindness, our students are now more engaged and enthusiastic about literacy.\r\n\r\nThe literacy toolkits you provided have been a game-changer in our classrooms. These toolkits equip our students with the necessary resources to develop their decoding skills, making reading a more accessible and enjoyable experience. By incorporating these materials into their daily learning, students can interact with words in new and meaningful ways, strengthening their foundational literacy skills.\r\n\r\nOur teachers are equally grateful, as these toolkits allow them to implement a multisensory approach to teaching literacy. By engaging students through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities, educators can better support diverse learning styles, ensuring that every child has an opportunity to succeed. The ability to incorporate hands-on tools into literacy instruction enhances student participation and fosters a deeper understanding of word patterns, phonics, and reading fluency.\r\n\r\nWe have already seen significant improvements in student engagement and confidence. The excitement on our students' faces when they use their toolkits is a testament to the difference you have made. These resources not only enrich their learning experiences but also empower them to become more independent and proficient readers.\r\n\r\nYour generosity does not go unnoticed. The impact of your support will continue to resonate in our classrooms for years to come, shaping the literacy journey of countless students. We truly appreciate your investment in our students' education and the role you have played in fostering a love of reading.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your kindness and support mean the world to us, and we are incredibly grateful for the positive change you have brought to our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1736440890977,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-manipulatives/8890032/","projectTitle":"Literacy Manipulatives","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Lundy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3866283_orig.jpg?crop=565,565,x40,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566743721611","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lundy"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50442","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":200,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":70,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":40.0,"schoolId":50442,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Quitman County Elementary Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Quitman County Elementary Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/quitman-county-school-district/new-quitman-co-elementary-middle-school/50442"}
