When we first received the supplies and learned we would be writing our way through the alphabet, the students were so excited!\r\n\r\nSo far, the students have loved all of the materials we have been able to use. We have written about pictures we painted with watercolors for \"A is for Art\" day, created basketball hoops for a STEAM project on \"C is for Create\" day and then wrote the steps explaining how we made them, and for \"G is for Game Day\" students wrote about their favorite games and shared them with their classmates.\r\n\r\nThese activities have made writing fun, creative, and meaningful for my students. They are excited to share their ideas and take pride in their work. We have already completed so many engaging projects and still have many more to look forward to as we continue writing through the alphabet.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping build confidence and excitement around writing in our classroom. Thank you for making these learning experiences possible for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1768088737344,"projectUrl":"project/writing-through-the-alphabet-experience/9992245/","projectTitle":"Writing Through the Alphabet: Experiences That Inspire","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp794457_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y272&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698947909584","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sfaker"},{"teacherId":9304231,"projectId":9988814,"letterContent":"Your donation has made it possible to have two of our Kindergarten classes (just under 50) be able to use iPads safely with covers.

Every year, teachers have to purchase our own supplies to get the students ready for school and to keep them supplied throughout the year. Donors Choose does a great job in helping alleviate the costs of all of these purchases. The supplies are greatly needed for math, reading, language arts, science, social studies, and even art. It is very convenient having all the supplies delivered straight to our school.

They loved having fresh, high-quality supplies and were eager to use them right away. Many students commented on how nice it felt to have their own materials and how it made school feel more \"official\" and special. Their excitement really set a positive tone in the classroom.\r\n\r\nWith these new supplies, students are continuing to build important skills through hands-on learning, writing, and collaborative projects. Our next steps include applying what we've learned to upcoming lessons that focus on problem-solving, reading comprehension, and clear written communication. These resources allow students to focus on learning and creativity rather than worrying about having the tools they need.","fullyFundedDate":1699190920555,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-all-to-participate/7988213/","projectTitle":"Supplies for ALL to Participate!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Canfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1447844_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1485455824536","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-peltier"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_55280","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":469,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":5,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.8,"schoolId":55280,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alyce Taylor Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alyce Taylor Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/washoe-county-school-district/alyce-taylor-elementary-school/55280"}
