This specific game will support them as they work to improve their DIBELS scores and build essential early literacy skills.

In 11 years of teaching this is the first class that loved reading the books I provided. I was so excited when the books came but students were gone. They were wondering what were in the boxes when arriving the next morning. I had students sit in circle and slowly started putting books in the middle. There eyes lit up to see so many new books. THe asked if they could read them. We took about 30 minutes to explore the books and then everyone picked one to take to their seat to read through the day. I showed the big books to them and read the big book from Caterpillar to Butterfly. I got the puppet out and used it to read the story. The students were so excited to use the puppet and read to a friend. \r\nThank You so much for blessing my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746787212837,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-excelling-and-practice/9243776/","projectTitle":"Books For Excelling and Practice","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gregg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2429545_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470739953600","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsgregg"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_133497","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":51,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":72.1,"schoolId":133497,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Friendship Aspire Academy Bowie STEM on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Friendship Aspire Academy Bowie STEM","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/prince-george-s-county-public-schools/friendship-aspire-academy-bowie-stem/133497"}
