Your donations helped provide us with ABC Pop-Its, visual timers, CVC Spelligators, and rekenreks. These materials have already made such a meaningful difference in the way my students learn, practice new skills, and build confidence.\r\n\r\nThe **ABC Pop-Its and CVC Spelligators** have made practicing letters, sounds, blending, and spelling much more engaging. My students love being able to use hands-on materials while working on important foundational reading skills. These tools are especially helpful during our small-group instruction because they allow students to practice skills in a fun and interactive way.\r\n\r\nThe **rekenreks** have been a wonderful addition to our math instruction. They give my students a visual and hands-on way to understand numbers, addition, subtraction, and number relationships. Instead of simply being told how to solve a problem, students can manipulate the beads and actually see the math happening.\r\n\r\nOur **visual timers** have also been incredibly helpful. They help students understand how much time they have to complete a task, stay focused, transition between activities, and work toward becoming more independent learners.\r\n\r\nAs a special education teacher, I know how important it is to provide students with different ways to access learning. The materials you helped provide allow me to make instruction more hands-on, engaging, and accessible to meet the individual needs of my students.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your generosity has helped create a classroom where students can experience success and feel excited about learning. Thank you for investing in my students and giving us tools that we will continue to use throughout the school year. Your kindness and support truly make a difference every day!\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\n\r\n**Mrs. Yancey & Her Students**","fullyFundedDate":1778262185764,"projectUrl":"project/little-hands-big-dreams-tools-for-my-k/10137958/","projectTitle":"Little Hands, Big Dreams: Tools for My Kindergarten Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Amber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3590696_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769658089950","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amber-moore"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98731","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":492,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":71,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"18.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":98731,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Burley Primary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Burley Primary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/lufkin-independent-school-district/burley-primary-school/98731"}
