These tools have quickly become an important part of our daily learning and have made a huge difference for my students. We use the whiteboards daily during our UFLI lessons, and they have been a game-changer for engagement. Students love being able to write, erase, and try again, and the real-time feedback helps me quickly check for understanding and support students right in the moment.\r\n\r\nThe LCD tablets have been an absolute favorite, especially during centers. They are used constantly and have become a staple in our dramatic play area. Students love using them to write down orders in the kitchen, make lists, and practice their writing in a fun, meaningful way. It's been amazing to see how naturally writing is showing up during play and how confident students feel using these tools.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, writing feels exciting, accessible, and purposeful for my students. Thank you for helping create an engaging classroom environment where kids are eager to learn, practice, and grow every single day. We are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1764723650720,"projectUrl":"project/tiny-writers-with-big-ideas/9924216/","projectTitle":"Tiny Writers With Big Ideas","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flinchum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8967286_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726192827225","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-flinchum"},{"teacherId":8967286,"projectId":9798722,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, Scoop, Sort, and Shine: Sensory Learning in Kindergarten. When the sensory bin materials arrived, my students were beyond excited — they helped me open everything and immediately wanted to explore. The play sand and scooping tools quickly became some of the most loved materials in our classroom. Their excitement and curiosity were contagious!\r\n\r\nOur first project using these materials was a \"Hot Cocoa Stand,\" where students practiced math, fine motor skills, and early reading skills all at once. They used the sand and scoops to measure ingredients, followed simple recipes, and worked together to create their own cups of \"hot cocoa.\" This hands-on experience helped students strengthen counting, measuring, and coordination skills while also building confidence and engagement.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, these sensory materials will continue to support learning throughout the year. We will use them for math centers, writing inspiration, and sensory play that helps students focus, regulate, and learn through exploration. Your donation has made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and we are so grateful for your support of our young learners.","fullyFundedDate":1760735136255,"projectUrl":"project/scoop-sort-and-shine-sensory-learning/9798722/","projectTitle":"Scoop, Sort, and Shine: Sensory Learning in Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flinchum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8967286_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726192827225","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-flinchum"},{"teacherId":8967286,"projectId":8858055,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for your generosity in funding our project, Empowering Third Graders with Headphones to Increase Reading Fluency. Your support has made a profound difference in our classroom and in the lives of my students.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the headphones, my students have been able to fully engage with our literacy programs in a way that was not possible before. These tools have allowed them to practice reading independently, listen to their own voices, and receive real-time feedback on their fluency. The excitement in the classroom is undeniable—students are eager to put on their headphones and dive into their reading practice.\r\n\r\nOne of the most incredible transformations has been in students who previously struggled with reading aloud. With their own headphones, they feel more confident practicing without fear of judgment, and their fluency has already shown noticeable improvement. Several students have told me they love being able to hear their own progress and make corrections right away.\r\n\r\nBeyond just literacy, these headphones have created a more focused learning environment, reducing distractions and allowing each student to work at their own pace. The impact of this project will continue to be felt throughout the year as my students grow into more confident, capable readers.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and giving them the tools they need to thrive. Your kindness and generosity are truly shaping their educational journey.","fullyFundedDate":1734099429573,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-third-graders-with-headphones/8858055/","projectTitle":"Empowering Third Graders with Headphones to Increase Reading Fluency","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flinchum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8967286_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726192827225","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-flinchum"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73374","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":457,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":63,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.1,"schoolId":73374,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Beech Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Beech Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/redford-union-school-district/bulman-elementary-school/73374"}
