Thanks to your kindness, our classroom now has a beautiful reading corner and a variety of hands-on manipulatives that are already making a meaningful difference in our daily learning.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, I always strive to create an environment where every student feels safe, inspired, and excited to learn. Your donations have helped me take that vision to the next level. The reading corner is now a warm, inviting space filled with books that reflect the diverse interests and experiences of my students. With cozy seating and an organized, accessible layout, it has quickly become a favorite place in our classroom. Whether they're diving into a new story or quietly flipping through picture books, my students are developing a love of reading that I know will last a lifetime.\r\n\r\nEqually impactful are the manipulatives you helped provide. These hands-on tools support both literacy and math development in ways that are fun and meaningful. From letter tiles and phonics games to math cubes and number puzzles, the manipulatives are giving my students new ways to engage with content, deepen their understanding, and build confidence in their abilities. They are especially helpful for my visual and kinesthetic learners who thrive when they can move, touch, and explore during lessons.\r\n\r\nWhat's most powerful is watching how these resources have transformed our learning culture. Students are more engaged, more curious, and more excited to take ownership of their education. They are collaborating with each other, making connections across subjects, and asking thoughtful questions that reflect a deeper level of understanding. I've also seen increased motivation and pride in their work, especially among students who may have previously struggled to stay focused or feel successful in a traditional setting.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not just provided materials—it has given my students opportunities. Opportunities to explore stories that reflect their lives, to build a stronger foundation in reading and math, and to feel the joy that comes with learning in a space designed with care and purpose. It has also reminded me, as an educator, that there is a community of kindhearted individuals who believe in the power of education and are willing to invest in our future.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my classroom, in my students, and in the value of creating meaningful, engaging learning environments. Your support is seen and felt every single day. I hope you know the lasting impact you've made, not just this year, but in the years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1709852525137,"projectUrl":"project/foster-academic-reading-growth/8251212/","projectTitle":"Foster Academic Reading Growth","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anna Vigil","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7605699_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709320304055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7605699"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82822","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":402,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":58,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":18,"percentLatinx":75,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":48.7,"schoolId":82822,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pablo Roybal Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pablo Roybal Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/pojoaque-valley-school-district/pablo-roybal-elementary-school/82822"}
