Our new decodable readers are perfect for us, because they allow us to practice what we are learning in class and be successful while doing it! As with many classes across the country, it is unfortunate that some students are able to grasp learning to read as quickly as others. With these books, I am now able to incorporate the science of reading into my classroom and see the difference that it is making with my students. The books are colorful and keep my readers engaged as we practice. \r\nMy students are thankful to be able to books instead of boring worksheets! Their smiles at being able to read from books more like their peers are so fulfilling. They reread them and are able to show off their reading skills at home to their parents. \r\nI sincerely thank you for the difference your donation has made in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1747158413760,"projectUrl":"project/you-have-power-to-lead-once-you-read/9226164/","projectTitle":"You Have Power to Lead, Once You Read","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Scully","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9990654"},{"teacherId":4296613,"projectId":9226266,"letterContent":"On behalf of my class and myself, I would like to say thank you for donating to our project! My \"Phunky Phonics Readers\" project was designed to help many of my struggling readers catch up to their peers by giving them access to decodable texts that target specific phonics skills. \r\n Every day I work with individual and small groups of students that need help with reading. In my small group I practice making words with specific phonics sounds and letter patterns. What I was lacking were materials that they could practice reading those words in. While it is important to be able to read words as you write them, it is even more important to be able to recognize those words in books and read fluently. Your donation and funding of my project did just that! Now, based on the groups or individuals I am working with, my students can feel successful as they read books with me and on their own. They love having colorful books they can actually read without embarrassment in front of their peers. The best part of this project is that there are many books that cover such a variety of phonic skills, and it will be useful all year long as students progress into harder concepts and texts. Thank you for all you have contributed to the academic success of my students!","fullyFundedDate":1746787419819,"projectUrl":"project/phunky-phonics-readers/9226266/","projectTitle":"Phunky Phonics Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4296613_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753149086604","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4296613"},{"teacherId":9991462,"projectId":9408142,"letterContent":"We are so thankful for the donations to fund a new classroom rug! Our classroom rug has been used to allow students to harbor the skills to learn how to be an excellent friend in the classroom and to develop listening skills while watching videos and reading books together. \r\nMy students were so excited for a beautiful new rug and somewhere comfortable for them to sit while working together. They do turn and talk with their partners when talking about math or reading strategies, and we have even used it while we had to have indoor recess due to rain. \r\nOur next steps are going to continue using our new rug to foster community within our classroom and using it for partner work. We are also exited to start allowing students to use differentiated seating and sitting on the rug with a lap desk is one of the seating options the students have.

As a Montessori class, we are constantly on the floor working on lessons and a big comfy rug was much needed.\r\nOur rug is a meeting place for us to gather in the morning to welcome everyone to start our day. It is used for students to work on individual lessons, to dance and play, and to just make our room cozy on those struggle days.\r\nWe are so grateful for your kind and generous donation to our classroom.

The students are completely in love with our new garden friends. We are just getting back into school and the first question I get when my classes come to me is when can we see the ducks again! We are working on finishing up their new enclosure after some work being done in our garden area. The students are very eager to pick some garden goodies for their feathered friends. \r\n\r\nWe have also really enjoyed the new gloves, aprons, and watering cans. They get used every single class and they are holding up very well. I love seeing the students get excited about helping and really taking ownership in our school garden space. They are very proud of our garden and it has become the highlight of the school. \r\n\r\nWe should be getting eggs from our ducks and goose very soon and I am excited for the reaction from the students. The memories made in the garden will be long lasting and I just know that my students will benefit from these experiences long after they move on from my school.

I have seen it help students with their development in educational and social skills. Also I am able to decrease the amount of time students spend in front of a screen. Being able to give students a fun way to review math skills we covered has shown to help build knowledge, encourage math conversations, and give them joy at the same time. Students are able to review skills in place value, addition, subtraction, time, money, and shapes using hands-on fun board games. These types of board games are good for students to improve on accuracy and speed of answering questions in each subject area. Already I have seen students who struggled with these skills at the beginning of the year are showing improvement and building confidence. Also if students aren't able to get a correct answer their peers talk with them about how to get to the correct answer. Students really enjoy the card games because they can be used for up to 6 different games. This gives students the opportunity to choose what game they want to play for their center time. Once they learned all the rules for each board game, then I gave them the choice to choose which one to play in their groups and again they enjoyed being able to choose which to play.\r\n\r\nStudents are benefiting not just academically, but socially as well from these centers. They are able to work on skills like learning to play fair, to be encouraging to others, and to solve disagreements among themselves. One of the biggest goals I had was for students to have less screen time and more hands-on opportunities. Not only was this goal met, but I have seen a significant change in my students' excitement about math games instead of being on the computer. Since having the new games, students look forward to math center time. Students have made comments to me like \"I love learning like this Mrs. Hair!\" and \"Yes, math centers are my favorite!\" I look forward to seeing this for many years to come in my classroom when using these centers again and again. Without our donors, I wouldn't be able to witness the growth and joy in my students. We are very grateful for those who contributed to making our math center time both more enjoyable and educational!","fullyFundedDate":1730723643620,"projectUrl":"project/math-centers/8917275/","projectTitle":"Math Centers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4296613_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753149086604","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4296613"},{"teacherId":8401767,"projectId":8829550,"letterContent":"We have been so excited about offering this to our students.
