I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to our project, \"Reading is the Key to Success.\" Your support plays a vital role in our mission to foster a love for reading among children in our community.\r\n\r\nThanks to your contribution, we have been able to create a small lending library filled with a diverse array of books. This resource will not only enhance the literacy skills of our children but also ignite their imagination and curiosity about the world around them. Additionally, we are excited to launch a new program where older children from our community will read to our preschool classroom. This initiative will not only encourage reading but also foster mentorship and community spirit amongst the students.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a significant impact, and we are incredibly thankful for your support. We look forward to seeing the positive changes that will come from your investment in our children's futures. Together, we are nurturing a generation of readers who will carry the joys of literacy throughout their lives.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your kindness and belief in our project. We would love to keep you updated on our progress and invite you to visit our library and see the impact of your contribution firsthand.","fullyFundedDate":1744808177526,"projectUrl":"project/reading-is-the-key-to-success/9228995/","projectTitle":"Reading is the Key to Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stephanie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6384135_orig.jpg?crop=954,954,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1606768404865","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6384135"},{"teacherId":6384135,"projectId":9027639,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your assistance in coordinating the recent donation of colorful felt pens for our students. It is initiatives like these that truly make a difference in our classroom and in the lives of our students.\r\n\r\nI am thrilled to share that the students have been absolutely delighted with the felt pens. The vibrancy of the colors has transformed our writing sessions into a much more engaging and enjoyable experience. Each day, I see the students light up as they choose their favorite colors to express their thoughts and ideas on paper. It's amazing to witness their creativity flourish as they write sentences in hues that reflect their personalities and moods.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this donation extends beyond just the aesthetic appeal of writing in color. Using these felt pens has proven to be a powerful motivator for our students. Many of them have shown an increased eagerness to participate in writing activities, and I've noticed a significant improvement in their willingness to express themselves. The joy of using colorful writing tools has encouraged them to explore their writing more freely, resulting in richer narratives and more thoughtful reflections.\r\n\r\nMoreover, I have observed that the act of writing in color has helped some students who typically struggle with writing. The vibrant pens have sparked their interest and made the process feel less daunting. It's wonderful to see them take pride in their work, showcasing their sentences with excitement rather than hesitation. Without the generosity of donors like you, this opportunity for growth and enjoyment would not have been possible.","fullyFundedDate":1735928602524,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials-shipment-2025-01-0/9027639/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials Shipment: 2025-01-03","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stephanie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6384135_orig.jpg?crop=954,954,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1606768404865","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6384135"},{"teacherId":6384135,"projectId":8579340,"letterContent":"Thank You for Your Generous Donation!\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your generous donation of educational materials to our classroom. Your contribution of Kinetic Sand, a Soft Serve Station with play sand in vibrant colors, sensory toys, and other essential learning games has significantly enriched our students' learning experience. \r\n\r\nUpon receiving your donation, my students were filled with excitement and curiosity. The moment they laid eyes on the colorful Kinetic Sand and the Soft Serve Station, their faces lit up with joy! They gathered around to explore the delightful textures and vibrant colors. It was heartwarming to witness their imaginations come to life as they built and sculpted with the sand, developing fine motor skills in the process. These hands-on activities became the highlight of our sensory play corner and sparked countless discussions, creativity, and cooperative play among the children.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the sensory materials, the sight word games and Montessori phonics learning tools have proven to be invaluable resources in my classroom. We recently launched a project that focuses on building foundational reading skills. The Think Fun Zingo Sight Words Game has transformed our reading time into a vibrant and interactive group activity. Students eagerly engage in friendly competitions to identify sight words, reinforcing their recognition and boosting their confidence in reading. The Aizweb Sentence Building and sight word games are now integrated into our daily literacy centers, allowing the students to work collaboratively and creatively in small groups. They love the challenge of putting sentences together and enhancing their vocabulary, making reading feel less like a chore and more like a fun adventure.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are excited to continue integrating these resources into our ongoing projects. As we progress to more complex reading and writing tasks, the comforting fidget tubes will serve as calming tools, helping students manage anxiety and maintain focus during lessons. The next steps for our classroom include organizing a reading \"gallery walk\" where students will showcase their favorite sentences and stories created with the new materials. This event will not only highlight their learning but also help build a sense of community as we celebrate each student's progress.\r\n\r\nYour support has brought more than just materials into our classroom; it has fostered a joyful environment where students feel empowered and engaged in their learning. Thank you for being a vital part of our educational journey. We are excited to continue sharing our experiences and the positive impact of your generous donation.","fullyFundedDate":1729189715973,"projectUrl":"project/learning-is-fun/8579340/","projectTitle":"Learning Is Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stephanie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6384135_orig.jpg?crop=954,954,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1606768404865","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6384135"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_124033","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":73.3,"schoolId":124033,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about P36K @ PS 213 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"P36K @ PS 213","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-36k-213/124033"}
