I cannot fully express how much the materials the class received are aiding my students' learning. I was able to create classroom posters using the cardstock and laminating sheets, as well as various activities for our learning centers. My students practice writing daily using the clear dry-erase sleeves and black dry-erase markers. They can also practice writing their names using the clothespins. They have a great time with the large puzzles during group activity time. They love being able to keep their crayons separate and organized thanks to the small plastic boxes. I use the visual timer so they know how much time they have for each activity; this helps them grasp the concept of time and stay focused. Additionally, they really enjoy unleashing their creativity with the magnets and interlocking discs.\r\nOnce again, thank you very much for your support. It has meant a great deal to both my students and I.","fullyFundedDate":1781001343381,"projectUrl":"project/kinder-fun-with-learn/10095236/","projectTitle":"Kinder Fun with Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vowell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10433679"},{"teacherId":10430266,"projectId":10087535,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our speech therapy classroom through Donors Choose. Because of your generosity, my elementary students now have access to engaging therapy materials, organizational supplies, and books that help make learning both meaningful and fun.\r\n\r\nWe use these new resources during our speech therapy sessions. The therapy materials and books allow students to practice articulation, vocabulary, and language skills through hands-on activities and interactive reading. The organizational supplies have also made a big difference in helping keep our therapy space structured so students can quickly access the materials they need and stay focused on their goals.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, they were incredibly excited. They immediately wanted to explore the books and games and couldn't wait to start using them in our activities. Their enthusiasm made our therapy sessions feel even more special, and it reminded me how powerful engaging materials can be in helping students feel motivated to learn and communicate.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue using these resources to support our current lessons focused on improving articulation, expanding vocabulary, and strengthening expressive language skills. The books and therapy materials will help students practice retelling stories, describing pictures, and using complete sentences to express their ideas. These skills will help them become more confident communicators both in the classroom and with their peers. Your kindness and generosity are making a real difference for my students. Thank you for giving them tools that support their growth, confidence, and communication skills. We are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1770590906765,"projectUrl":"project/words-at-work-tools-for-powerful-commun/10087535/","projectTitle":"Words at Work: Tools for Powerful Communication Gains","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harrison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10430266"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15898","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":526,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":6,"percentLatinx":55,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.9,"schoolId":15898,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fred Douglass Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fred Douglass Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/jacksonville-independent-school-district/fred-douglass-elementary-school/15898"}
