Are those things for us?\" Several of them helped unpack the materials, and there was an excited buzz in the room as they realized these were \"special reading tools just for us.\" Several of my reluctant readers were clearly interested in the materials and already asking if they could play with them. The hands-on nature of the materials made reading feel more like a game, and their enthusiasm hasn't worn off.\r\n\r\nWe've already started using the resources during our daily intervention block. I rotate through the activities throughout the week. Students build CVC and CVCE words, match phonics patterns, and practice decoding with interactive tiles and cards. Today, one of my groups wanted to use a more challenging set of cards which we hadn't opened yet because I didn't feel they were ready. After seeing their willingness to be challenged, I opened the new game and the students were so excited to learn a new phonics rule and read those words! These tools give students the chance to manipulate sounds and letters physically, helping concepts click in a way that paper-and-pencil work can't always achieve.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to deepen students' mastery of more complex phonics patterns and apply these skills in connected text. With the support of these new materials, students will be practicing digraphs, blends, and vowel teams in small groups and then using those patterns while reading short passages. Thanks to your generosity, they now have engaging, developmentally appropriate tools that will support them throughout the rest of the year. Your donation truly made learning more joyful, and we are so grateful for the difference you've made.","fullyFundedDate":1761502667386,"projectUrl":"project/sound-it-out-hands-on-phonics-for-growi/9840013/","projectTitle":"Sound it Out!

They immediately started brainstorming ways to earn more class money through positive and responsible behavior. These resources have transformed our incentive system into something tangible and motivating, making our classroom feel like a real marketplace where hard work and good choices pay off.\r\n\r\nWe've already integrated the prizes into our ongoing behavior and responsibility project. Students earn class money for meeting expectations, showing kindness, and staying engaged in lessons, getting positive comments from other teachers. During our last store day, I saw students calculating their totals and making thoughtful choices—an amazing real-world math connection! Next, we'll continue using this system to reinforce positive habits while tying it into lessons on budgeting and decision-making.

The students were very excited to see all of the wonderful books that you all provided us with! It has truly made a difference in these students life and future students of this classroom in the years to come. Having high interest books is a necessity to creating life long readers. \r\n\r\nAs part of our daily routine, we have a silent independent reading time. This is a great time for students to relax and be comfortable with books. It is pretty awesome to see a room full of readers fully engrossed in books! Just yesterday, at a later point in the day, the students asked if we could do independent reading again.

Many of them struggle with reading and math fluency, and these tools are the perfect way to incentivize them to improve their skills. \r\nAnother great benefit is that it is helping my students practice responsibility. Being responsible for their own piece of special technology is teaching them to care for and value their classroom resources.

In a world increasingly dominated by screens, your donation has offered our children something far more meaningful—connection, laughter, and the joy of learning through play. It has been truly heartening to see students reaching for board games instead of their computers during free time. The shift has been nothing short of transformative.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been especially powerful for our English learners. The board games have become a fun, low-pressure way for them to practice both conversational and academic language. We've seen students who were once hesitant to speak begin to open up, take risks, and engage more confidently with their peers and teachers. This increase in comfort and participation has translated into noticeable growth in the classroom in a remarkably short period of time.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the board games have helped our students grow socially and emotionally. They are learning to cooperate, to win and lose graciously, to communicate more effectively, and to develop empathy through shared experiences. We've seen friendships strengthen and confidence grow, all thanks to the safe and joyful space your donation has helped create.\r\n\r\nEven though I was ill for much of the year, I was still able to establish a board game club, and the games have been in constant use. I also created a lending system so teachers across grade levels could incorporate them into their classrooms. Your donation reached far beyond what we originally imagined and has become a valued resource throughout the entire school during class time, after school, recess, lunch, anytime, really!\r\n\r\nYour generosity has left a lasting impression on our school community.
