Your kindness has filled our room with stories, laughter, and meaningful learning moments that we cherish every single day.\r\n\r\nOur students have truly enjoyed reading and exploring the books all over the classroom. Because they are sturdy board books, the children can independently carry them to different areas: our classroom rug, the cozy corner, small-group table, or even a quiet spot on the floor. The durability of the books allows our students to practice turning pages, pointing to pictures, and engaging with text in a hands-on way that supports their developmental needs. Throughout the day, you'll see students flipping through pages, labeling pictures, and retelling parts of familiar stories in their own words.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new books, their excitement was immediate. They eagerly gathered around as we unpacked them, reaching out to touch the covers and asking, \"Can we read this one?\" Some students hugged the books to their chests, while others immediately began flipping through the pages. The bright pictures and sturdy design invited exploration, and it was clear that the books felt special to them. Even our staff shared in the excitement, knowing how impactful these new resources would be for our learners. The paras and students always go look for a book in the classroom library.\r\n\r\nWe have been using the board books during whole-group instruction, small-group literacy centers, and individual reading time with staff support. They have been especially helpful in teaching early literacy skills such as identifying letters, recognizing sight words, building vocabulary, and answering simple comprehension questions. Because many of our students benefit from repetition and hands-on interaction, these books provide the perfect balance of structure and accessibility.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are continuing to focus on early literacy and communication skills. Our next steps include working on retelling stories using picture cues and sequencing events from beginning to end. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has done more than add books to our shelves: it has created opportunities for connection, language development, and joyful learning. Our classroom feels richer because of your support, and our students are growing in confidence every time they turn a page.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping us nurture a love of reading that will last far beyond kindergarten. We are so grateful for you.","fullyFundedDate":1766846449216,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-beginners-building-little-lib/9788438/","projectTitle":"Books for Beginners: Building Little Libraries for Little Learners!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ramos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2374155_orig.png?crop=272,272,x91,y61&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1631057851183","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-ramos257"},{"teacherId":2374155,"projectId":9784642,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our DonorsChoose project! Because of you, our special education kindergarten classroom now has a beautiful new rug and additional fine motor skill materials that are making a meaningful difference for our students every single day.\r\n\r\nOur kindergarten students absolutely love our rug. It has quickly become the heart of our classroom. We use it throughout the day for morning meetings, shared reading, small-group lessons, and social-emotional learning activities. For our students, having a defined, soft, and comfortable gathering space is especially important. The rug helps create structure and predictability, which is essential in a special education setting. It gives students a clear visual and physical boundary for where to sit, listen, and participate.\r\n\r\nThe rug has also become a safe place for regulation. Some of our students use it as a sensory break area when they need a quiet moment to reset. Others enjoy laying down with a book or simply resting for a few minutes before transitioning to the next activity. The warmth and comfort it brings to the room have truly transformed our classroom environment into one that feels calm, welcoming, and supportive.\r\n\r\nOne special moment that stands out was our first morning meeting on the new rug. The students carefully found their spots and immediately began smiling and touching the soft surface. One student laid down and said, \"It's so cozy!\" Another excitedly told a classmate, \"This is our new reading rug!\" \r\n\r\nIn addition to the rug, we were able to purchase fine motor skill materials with part of the donated funds. These tools are incredibly important for our students as they develop the strength and coordination needed for writing, cutting, and other daily tasks. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has done more than provide classroom supplies, it has helped create a space where our special education students feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. The rug warms our room physically and emotionally, and the fine motor tools are helping build the foundational skills our students need for success.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and in our students. Your kindness has made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1760831715620,"projectUrl":"project/snug-as-bug-in-a-rug/9784642/","projectTitle":"Snug as Bug in a Rug","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ramos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2374155_orig.png?crop=272,272,x91,y61&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1631057851183","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-ramos257"},{"teacherId":8665331,"projectId":9749337,"letterContent":"Here's a more specific, personalized version that highlights the exact items you received:\r\n\r\n⸻\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous support, our classroom is brighter, more engaging, and better equipped for hands-on learning than ever before. The new board books, play food, pencils, bean bags, book bins, and large crayons have already become a meaningful part of our daily routine.\r\n\r\nWe put everything to use right away. One of my favorite moments happened during our literacy center rotations: a small group of students gathered around the new board books, eagerly turning pages and pointing out letters and pictures to each other. Several students who are still developing early reading confidence were especially drawn to the sturdy pages and vibrant images—they were fully engaged in a way I hadn't seen before.\r\n\r\nOur dramatic play area was buzzing, too. When the students saw the new play food, they immediately began setting up a \"restaurant,\" taking turns as cooks and customers. I have enjoyed some of the delicious dishes they share with me. Watching them practice language skills, cooperation, and problem-solving through pretend play was incredible. The bean bags quickly became a hit in our calm-down corner, giving students a cozy, comfortable space to self-regulate and recharge.\r\n\r\nThe reaction when we unpacked everything was priceless—lots of cheers, excited chatter, and little hands reaching out to explore. Students proudly placed the new book bins on our shelves, organizing their favorite stories, and several immediately grabbed the large crayons and got to work drawing detailed pictures that showed off their growing fine-motor strength.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has brought joy, creativity, and meaningful learning opportunities into our classroom. Thank you for making such a lasting difference for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1758799764305,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-bright-start-for-our-brand-ne/9749337/","projectTitle":"Building a Bright Start for Our Brand New Kindergarten Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Laird","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8665331_orig.jpg?crop=1320,1320,x735,y524&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758579919963","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8665331"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_134530","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":null,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":35,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":false,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"K - K","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":86.7,"schoolId":134530,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 368K @145 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 368K @145","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/district-75-city-wide-programs/ps-368k-145/134530"}
