It is really helped me to get my small groups going and just have materials that I need but also my students need.\r\n\r\nWe've all benefited by this, especially the little decoded readers because it has everything that my students are working on and it actually gives them a book to read, which they love. They are learning and growing so much a lot of that has to do with you and your generosity.\r\n\r\nMy students were so shocked when I brought out these new supplies because half of them hadn't seen anything like this. We got some learning games and other tools to make learning fun which a lot of of them have never thought of learning as fun before until now. Thank you for everything that you do.","fullyFundedDate":1748817692711,"projectUrl":"project/our-class-is-ready-to-shine-we-need-your/9389447/","projectTitle":"Our Class Is Ready to Shine We Need Your Spark!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bing","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047792_orig.jpg?crop=3456,3456,x0,y1152&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748817628499","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047792"},{"teacherId":10191348,"projectId":9627196,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, the animals have been such a wonderful addition to our speech therapy sessions! My students are using them in imaginative play to practice identifying colors, shapes, and sizes, and to make the sounds each animal creates. One of the most exciting wins was seeing a student who is often hesitant to participate light up during \"animal parade\"—naming the animals confidently and making their sounds. It was such a joyful breakthrough moment, and it wouldn't have been possible without these new tools.\r\nI am so appreciative of your generosity. Because of your kindness, my students have access to engaging resources that make learning meaningful and fun. Your support has opened the door to growth, confidence, and new opportunities for success in the classroom.\r\nWe'll continue using these resources to expand vocabulary, encourage communication, and support social interaction. Your generosity is making a lasting difference in my students' learning journey, and for that, I am deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758220537317,"projectUrl":"project/building-confidence-through-communicatio/9627196/","projectTitle":"Building Confidence Through Communication","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. South","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10191348"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1687","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":485,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.8,"schoolId":1687,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Steele Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Steele Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/charlotte-mecklenburg-school-district/steele-creek-elementary-school/1687"}
