Because of you, my students now have access to resources that are already transforming their learning experience in meaningful, lasting ways.\r\n\r\nThe moment the new materials arrived, my students' excitement filled the room. They crowded around the boxes, eager to peek inside, and their faces absolutely lit up when they realized these resources were theirs to learn, explore, and grow with. One of my students even said, \"This feels like Christmas for our classroom!\", and that joy has carried over into everything we've done since.\r\n\r\nWe've already put the materials to great use. Recently, we completed a hands-on learning activity in which students worked in small groups to explore new tools during our reading and math centers. One especially memorable moment was watching a student who usually hesitates to participate dive right into building words and demonstrating his understanding using the new manipulatives. Your donation made this spark possible.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps include expanding our current project by integrating these materials into weekly learning rotations and small-group instruction. With your help, students are now able to work more independently, collaborate more confidently, and stay actively engaged in each lesson. These resources will continue to support their growth throughout the school year, and I know they will help lay a stronger foundation for future success.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for providing them with opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom, including access to essential supplies. Your kindness has created moments of joy, curiosity, and confidence that we will carry with us every day.","fullyFundedDate":1756050872934,"projectUrl":"project/little-materials-big-learning/9639650/","projectTitle":"Little Materials, Big Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10214866_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755828577063","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-green-pre-k"},{"teacherId":9506845,"projectId":8996273,"letterContent":"I wish you could have seen the students faces when they saw the books.

Since the new books have been introduced the students are finishing their books in order to get to read a new one.\r\n The book lights have really sparked a new interest in reading. The students love having the lights out and finding a place to sit and read. The students said that reading is now something fun they get to do rather than a task. \r\n One of the students said, \"Book Club feels like the first time I've truly been exposed to books. I never had an opportunity to explore and see different types of books. I never liked reading, but now thanks to book club I look forward to my reading each week.\" \r\n Thanks to your donation we have more students wanting to join book club and sparking other teachers to start a book club in their classrooms. I am now helping other teachers organize book tastings to get ready to start book clubs in our 3rd to 5th grade classrooms.","fullyFundedDate":1734991295845,"projectUrl":"project/book-club-books/8996273/","projectTitle":"Book Club Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9506845"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_121833","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":129,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":70,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":"6.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":121833,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gonzales Primary Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gonzales Primary Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/gonzales-independent-school-district/gonzales-primary-academy/121833"}
