Your gift has become a meaningful and consistent part of our students' daily learning.\r\n\r\nEach morning during centers, students eagerly choose the listening station as one of their first activities. They carefully select a story, put on their headphones, and follow along in their books as they hear fluent reading modeled for them. What started as something new and exciting has now become a cherished routine.\r\n\r\nI've watched students grow attached to favorite stories, asking to listen to them again and again. Some even seek out the audio players as an \"extra\" activity when they finish their work early. This repeated exposure is building vocabulary, strengthening comprehension, and most importantly, nurturing a genuine love for reading.\r\n\r\nStudents are now independently turning pages, retelling stories, and recognizing familiar words. Your generosity is not only supporting literacy development and it is creating joyful readers.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and for giving our students access to stories in a way that feels engaging, empowering, and special. Your impact is seen every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1757957807494,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-the-love-of-learning-and-readi/9688689/","projectTitle":"Enhancing the Love of Learning and Reading Through Audio Players!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hahn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4640757_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1623106499485","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4640757"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52699","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":95,"numTeachers":3,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":98,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"31.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":87.0,"schoolId":52699,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Canyon Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Canyon Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/idaho/kellogg-joint-school-district-391/canyon-elementary-school/52699"}
