We begin each lesson with our \"Hello\" song and feelings, then move to our calendar and counting together. They are already making great progress on counting to 20 in English by using the pocket chart. Soon we will add the ten frames into the routine we are building. We then record the weather and move on to our story. The books you provided are so colorful and the pictures are incredibly engaging for my young English learners.\r\n\r\nAfter--or sometimes during--the story, we have a hands on activity to help them build fine motor skills and provide more practice with the new language. A favorite over the past couple of weeks has been the tongs and pom pom bin! We use them to sort by both color and size, and they LOVE it! They really look forward to this activity. Soon we will begin constructing their one hundred bead necklace. I know they will be really proud of that, and they will get lots of counting and color practice as we put them together. I couldn't do these projects and see these kids' faces light up as they learn with out your partnership!","fullyFundedDate":1781695638959,"projectUrl":"project/help-multilingual-covid-babies-learn-eng/10334494/","projectTitle":"Help Multilingual Covid Babies Learn English!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bates","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7930813_orig.jpg?crop=1696,1696,x359,y518&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1688237772669","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7930813"},{"teacherId":1336794,"projectId":10094183,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing needed supplies for my class! The students have enjoyed using the new headphones we received and they really help students focus on their individualized lessons.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic letter boards have also been hugely helpful because now when I do word chain activities with students during decoding lessons, each student is able to work on their own board and manipulate the letters for each word. This helps me know who has learned the concept and who needs extra help, and it helps them integrate motor with visual learning.\r\n\r\nThe new fidgets are always welcome, as they are another tool to help students focus during independent work. The students have also found the new prizes in the prize box motivating and most of all, they love the hammock chair and will work extra hard to earn break time in it!","fullyFundedDate":1772649592603,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-focus/10094183/","projectTitle":"Tools for Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McPherson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lauramcpherson"},{"teacherId":10264389,"projectId":9718358,"letterContent":"We at Hope Valley Elementary School cannot begin to thank you enough for the book donations for our library. We are a Title 1 school, and had not been able to retain a permanent librarian. Books and authors that are crucial to the collection were completely missing. It is my first year as a school librarian, so I have been making all possible efforts to collect books wherever and whenever I can.\r\n\r\nOne of the hooks to get our boys reading is the \"I Survived\" collection, as I've noticed them getting more interested in history by the fifth grade. This collection combines fictional characters with historical events that intrigue them, such as the attacks on 9/11. Students began checking them out as soon as I put them on the shelves. We only had one copy of the very first \"Harry Potter \" book in that series. When our new series arrived, it was packaged so beautifully that the outside spines formed a complete picture when placed in order. Some of my girls were so entranced by its beauty that one of them took out the first three books and another girl took out the last two books. It turned out that she already owned these books, but wanted them because they were so beautiful and brand new. Her mother returned them!\r\n\r\nOne of our third grade students with social emotional needs was thrilled to see \"Pete the Cat\" holiday books on our special exhibit table. He checked out two books each day and then came back to get two more until he had read them all. I ran out of time to get the children's permission forms to be pictured, so the pictures attached are of the books that we received. Again, thank you so much. These books will impact our students enjoyment of reading for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1758838849538,"projectUrl":"project/help-rebuild-the-library-collection-at-o/9718358/","projectTitle":"Help Rebuild the Library Collection at Our School!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mardre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10264389"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1440","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":547,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.7,"schoolId":1440,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hope Valley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hope Valley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/durham-public-schools/hope-valley-elementary-school/1440"}
