They would try to recognize flaws in the design and go back to their initial online program to make the design better.\r\n\r\nWe are close to our final race. Many student students have their final car printed and are ready to go. Others are still making changes to improve the car.

These tools have made decoding so much more fun for my students. These boards also align with our new phonics curriculum, which has helped my students grow as young readers in ways I had not seen in previous classes I have taught. By having the magnetic letters, the cognitive load is reduced so my students can focus on what truly matters, letter sound correspondence and not worrying about writing and letter formation.\r\nYour contribution to the future of our world is greatly appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1768512754064,"projectUrl":"project/lets-learn-to-read/9991219/","projectTitle":"Let's Learn to Read","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bolanos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6028911_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y131&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1588608444480","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ikwithmrs-b"},{"teacherId":9553455,"projectId":9991412,"letterContent":"My students have had THE best time with all of our items. I had planned for stations, but some students definitely had favorites and I didn't want to make them do all the stations. I ended up having students choose their preferences and it worked out well. They have an opportunity to use all of the items each day we meet and they are excited to use it. They have especially loved the marble run with the elevator, vision board materials and the chess. It is so great that they love the activities and they are away from tech.","fullyFundedDate":1768091176466,"projectUrl":"project/gifted-talented-steam-stations-creati/9991412/","projectTitle":"Gifted & Talented STEAM Stations: Creating Coding and Critical Thinking","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wortman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9553455_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y62&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718045134084","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9553455"},{"teacherId":9368668,"projectId":10026752,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom.

Your donation has helped create an environment where students feel excited, inspired, and eager to engage.\r\n\r\nWith these new materials, students are building important skills every day. The books are helping them strengthen comprehension, expand vocabulary, and develop a genuine love of reading. During our reading time, students are more engaged than ever—sharing ideas, asking thoughtful questions, and making connections to their own lives. The art supplies have opened the door for creativity and self-expression, allowing students to illustrate their thinking, explore new techniques, and take pride in their work.\r\n\r\nI've also seen students who were previously hesitant become more confident and enthusiastic learners. Having access to fresh, high-interest materials has sparked curiosity and motivation across the classroom. Your generosity has not only provided resources but has also shown my students that people beyond our classroom care about their success.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students and making a lasting impact on their education.","fullyFundedDate":1768678141172,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-literature/10026752/","projectTitle":"Engaging Literature","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9368668"},{"teacherId":857811,"projectId":10012532,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for funding my project! My students have been loving the ball seats. It has especially helped one of my students sit at whole group for longer periods of time. The snacks are eaten everyday. It is so nice to have things readily available for them when it is snack time. The season sensory toys have been a big hit and many request this as a \"work for\" choice. With high needs special education students having a variety of choices and materials that meet their sensory needs is essential.

This year I asked for a variety of supplies, such as: books for our class library, a magnetic graph sheet for the white board, fun neon white board markers, a class set of headphones, and regular colors of white board markers. \r\n With so much required individual computer time from our school district for programs such as iReady along with additional class typing time and state testing, students go through headphones each year. The donation of these comfy and brightly colored headphones may have been one of the most exciting gifts the students received! They love using them and say how comfortable they are compared to the previous ones I bought them. This year students also have really enjoyed reading Percy Jackson and Wings of Fire books, so having a few of these in our class library has been great, especially for the boys who seem to enjoy those series the most. In third grade, we study area quite a bit and touch on perimeter for our math standards. The students truly enjoyed using the magnetic graph board with the fun white board markers which were also all donated!\r\n I can't tell you how appreciative I am as a veteran teacher for this AMAZING program.

These kits quickly became a centerpiece of our hands-on learning time. Students are using them to design, build, test, and improve moving models while applying concepts from science, math, and engineering. One standout project involved small teams designing motorized vehicles that had to travel a set distance while carrying a small load. Students experimented with learning through trial and error and proudly redesigning when their first ideas didn't work.\r\n\r\nWhen the kits first arrived, the excitement was unmistakable. Students gathered around as we opened the boxes, eagerly identifying pieces and brainstorming what they could build. Many students who are usually hesitant to participate jumped right in, asking thoughtful questions and collaborating naturally with classmates. The motors were especially exciting—seeing something they built actually move sparked curiosity and confidence. Students took ownership of their learning and were motivated to solve problems together.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, students are now moving into deeper STEM challenges. Our next steps include integrating these kits into a longer-term engineering design project where students will plan, build, and present a solution to a real-world problem. They will document their designs, reflect on improvements, and explain how their models work. Your generosity has given students more than materials—it has given them opportunities to explore, create, and believe in their ability to think like engineers. Thank you Donor's Choose donors for giving us a meaningful peek into what engaged, joyful learning can look like in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1756163714653,"projectUrl":"project/gate-gifted-and-talented-education-eng/9605628/","projectTitle":"GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) Engaging Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wortman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9553455_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y62&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718045134084","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9553455"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83097","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":462,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.8,"schoolId":83097,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jessie Beck Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jessie Beck Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/washoe-county-school-district/jessie-beck-elementary-school/83097"}
