Your support is helping us create a cozy reading center where students can relax, explore new books, and grow their love of reading. The reading chairs and beanbags will give my students a special place to enjoy independent reading, share stories with classmates, and use their imaginations as they discover new adventures through books. Seeing them become more excited about reading is one of the greatest rewards of teaching!\r\n\r\nYour kindness is helping us build more than a reading center; it is helping us build confident readers. As we continue working on reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and identifying the central idea of a story, this inviting space will encourage students to practice their skills in a comfortable environment. Our next steps are to help students develop independent reading routines, choose books that interest them, and share what they have learned through discussions and written responses. Every book they open is another opportunity to learn, grow, and believe in themselves.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in my students and their educational journey. Your generosity reminds us that people in our community believe in the power of education and the potential of every child. These resources will support learning, inspire imagination, and help create meaningful classroom memories. We are truly grateful for your kindness and for being part of our Daily Dragons family. Together, we are helping our young readers build a strong foundation for a bright future! 💚💛📚","fullyFundedDate":1786210820686,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-corners-growing-readers/10419493/","projectTitle":"Cozy Corners, Growing Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9104409_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1785283061904","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9104409"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94414","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":835,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.2,"schoolId":94414,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ray Daily Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ray Daily Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/ray-daily-elementary-school/94414"}
