Thanks to your support, our students now have access to new materials that have truly enriched they learning experience.\r\nWhen the children first saw the new resources, their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. They eagerly engaged with the materials, and it was heartwarming to see how quickly they embraced them. For example, during a recent project, the children used the new art supplies to create colorful paintings that reflected their imaginations. \r\nTheir enthusiasm and creativity were absolutely contagious, and it was amazing to witness their joy and pride in their work.\r\nMoving forward, we are excited to continue building on this foundation. The new resources will play a crucial role in upcoming lessons, helping our students develop important skills and fostering a love for learning. Your generosity has made a lasting difference, and we are deeply grateful for your support.\r\nThank you once again for believing in our students and for helping to create such a positive impact in their educational journey.

Although we have some very basic decodable books, we were missing books at the next level, for those who had figured out the secret code of reading ; ). These are perfect because they are still decodable, but they push our higher readers to the next level. The books also have very explicit skills that can be worked on with a guidebook to help with ideas on how to teach. Our old curriculum does not provide decodable books. \r\n\r\nIn my classroom, these books are used first in small groups. I teach a specific skill and then use the books to practice and reinforce the skill. These books then go into a book bag for each student that they can then pull out at a later time to practice on their own. What's great about this set is that it comes with a take home book guide that has all the books ready to be copied. That way I can give them each a paper copy to put in their book back while I keep the original for another group. Not all sets of books for small groups come with that benefit.\r\n\r\nThank you again. The kids were so excited to get more books in their hands that they can read independently. It is so important for their progress and confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1744245698670,"projectUrl":"project/decodable-books-for-bilingual-program-we/9185142/","projectTitle":"Decodable Books for Bilingual Program We Need More!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rachel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9472598_orig.png?crop=1592,1592,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708633101260","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9472598"},{"teacherId":9472598,"projectId":8952727,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for your donation to help with this hands-on project science project for our kínder students.

I told them we would do it this spring, when the snow is gone. Now that the snow is melting, they are ready to go!
