Your support helps our young readers grow, explore new ideas, and develop a lifelong love of learning. The students are already excited to dive into the new books and resources!\r\n\r\nFoundational reading is one of the most powerful tools we can give young learners, and your contribution directly strengthens that foundation. In our classroom, we follow research-based practices rooted in the science of reading, which emphasize how students develop skills in phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. High-quality reading materials allow students to practice these skills in meaningful, engaging ways. \r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your kindness and commitment to our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1746786161659,"projectUrl":"project/reading-development-materials-science-o/9190153/","projectTitle":"Reading Development Materials (Science of Reading)","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Aquino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9581040_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719855090536","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9581040"},{"teacherId":10022879,"projectId":9329727,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my students ability to learn ELA through play!

Our students are engaging with new vocabulary to share which toy they \"prefer\" while describing its attributes. \r\n\r\nI revealed the dollhouse by surprising students with it being set up when they walked into our classroom. They immediately ran towards it and were so excited! I then showed them all of the other exciting play-based toys that were donated and they were ecstatic. \r\n\r\nWe will continue to allow students opportunities to engage with one another while using their imagination. We are excited to teach into ways to store and keep toys in good condition with the new storage bins.","fullyFundedDate":1746785722173,"projectUrl":"project/building-literacy-in-a-collaborative-cla/9329727/","projectTitle":"Building Literacy in a Collaborative Classroom through Toys and Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dell'Amore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10022879_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746739503742","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10022879"},{"teacherId":9581040,"projectId":9079297,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom!

I created a section where students can just grab and go with items they may need without having to feel embarrassed. In the little section, students can grab menstrual pads (the thin ones) as they requested when it's that time of the month. Also, I have deodorant wipes, paper towels, mouth wash, lip care, and floss for after lunch purposes. The students have emphasized that they love that they can easily access whatever item they need and better their hygiene quickly before returning to class. \r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were excited. They felt supported and heard especially since they are at school for a long period of time, they did not want their hygiene to be a reason why they have to miss an activity/sport or simply school. Our next steps are to upkeep this tradition so that all middle school students can access needed items readily, and work with elementary on what hygiene is and how it they can combat the different changes that they will experience.","fullyFundedDate":1742823933437,"projectUrl":"project/the-power-of-personal-care/9097875/","projectTitle":"The Power of Personal Care","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Barry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9250145"},{"teacherId":9581040,"projectId":9079040,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your generous contribution to our classroom environment.
