They were excited to see the colorful, organized spaces and quickly took pride in helping care for our classroom. Having clearly designated places for supplies has made transitions smoother and allows students to spend more time learning.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue building independence and responsibility.

Students are also learning to make predictions, retell stories in order, and discuss characters, settings, and important events.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom takes many forms. Students participate in whole-group read-alouds, small-group instruction, partner reading, literacy centers, and independent reading. We work hard to create a classroom where books are accessible and every child can experience success as a reader.\r\n\r\nThese books have been especially meaningful for students who previously struggled to find texts they could read independently. They are excited to recognize familiar sound patterns and proudly celebrate when they finish a book on their own. Some students return to the same favorite books again and again, gaining confidence and fluency with each reading.

One student said, \"It feels like we're really a class family now!\"\r\n\r\nThe desk dividers have also made a huge difference, especially during independent work and testing. They've given my students a sense of privacy and focus, helping them do their best without distractions. It's been amazing to see how much more confident and calm they feel during assessments.\r\n\r\nWhen the rug and dividers first arrived, the excitement was priceless! The students couldn't wait to sit together on the rug and were so curious about their new \"study shields.\"\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue using these additions to support both collaborative and independent learning. The rug provides a cozy space for community building and group learning, while the dividers help promote independence and concentration during testing and quiet work time.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping create a learning environment where my students can feel both connected and focused—your support has truly made a difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1757546606466,"projectUrl":"project/focused-and-cozy/9697616/","projectTitle":"Focused and Cozy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Savage","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8816563_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1667516468147","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8816563"},{"teacherId":7350445,"projectId":9276585,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for making my project a reality! \r\n\r\nI envisioned a space where my class could gather for academics and community.

The students could hardly wait to dig into the boxes and start building. When I told them that people from all over had donated to make our LEGO Club possible, their eyes lit up—they couldn't believe that others cared so much about their creativity and learning. We spent the first day exploring the different pieces, brainstorming design ideas, and setting up our first group challenge: to build a model of their \"dream school.\" The teamwork, problem-solving, and laughter that filled the room were exactly what I had hoped for when I started this project.\r\n\r\nSince then, our LEGO Club has become a highlight of the week. Students are using the sets to complete themed design challenges tied to STEM skills, story writing, and even character development. They plan, test, adjust, and present their builds to one another—learning to collaborate, communicate, and think critically along the way. One of my favorite moments was watching a group who initially struggled to agree on an idea end up creating a full \"Book Adventure Land\" complete with a spinning story tower and a mini-library made entirely of bricks. It was incredible to see their persistence pay off.\r\n\r\nNext, students will begin documenting their creations through photos and short reflections, turning our LEGO Club into a \"Click, Snap, Create\" digital gallery. We'll combine their images and writing into a class showcase to share with families. Your generosity has opened up a new creative outlet for my students, and I can already see their confidence and imagination growing with each build. Thank you for giving them the tools to dream, design, and create together.","fullyFundedDate":1754440809066,"projectUrl":"project/click-snap-create-lego-club-adventure/9521921/","projectTitle":"Click, Snap, Create: LEGO Club Adventures","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1050513_orig.jpg?crop=4480,4480,x1590,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1629348745414","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misslibrary"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_133786","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":422,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":25,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":84.4,"schoolId":133786,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Knight Ridge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Knight Ridge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/deer-creek-public-schools/knight-ridge-elementary-school/133786"}
