Your generosity directly supports hands-on and multimodal learning experiences that meet students where they are and help them grow with confidence.\r\n\r\nWith your support, my students use engaging tools like Word Family Flipbooks, Snap & Build Phonics, and Double-Sided Magnetic Phonics Tiles to explore sounds as the building blocks of words. This turns learning into an interactive and exciting experience.\r\n\r\nThey also get real books in their hands through decodable text collections, allowing them to feel like true readers as they progress through levels and celebrate their achievements along the way.\r\n\r\nIndependent practice is just as important. Science-based decodable workbooks and readers help me create personalized learning binders for each student, so they can practice skills independently or with support after small-group instruction.\r\n\r\nWith your help, my students can't wait for their turn to curl up on the comfy beanbag in our classroom library and read independently! \r\n\r\nYour donation makes all of this possible. Thank you for helping my students build strong reading foundations and a lifelong love of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1764619537430,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-readers-teaching-students-wi/9563353/","projectTitle":"Empowering Readers: Teaching Students With Dyslexia to Love Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Krista Wade","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9782942_orig.jpg?crop=2229,2229,x0,y74&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756506254878","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9782942"},{"teacherId":9782942,"projectId":9220406,"letterContent":"The looks on my students' faces when they opened up the boxes from Donor's Choose were priceless! They immediately wanted to build the water table & take it outside & put the bubbles into it! It was a HOT day so it was a perfect start to our adventures with all of the wonderful donations.\r\nMy students wanted to know where we got these new toys & I explained to them that some people read about our awesome classroom & wanted to give us a box of joy that will help us become better friends. \r\nProbably the biggest hit of the items is the Egg Toss Game! Because it doesn't take a lot of space, we can use this inside on rainy days. It has become the most requested reward after working hard on academics. \r\nThank you so much for bringing my class together to do fun activities both inside & out!

The students loved the area. when they walked into the room and saw the area for the first time, they didn't even want to read they just wanted to sit on the beanbag, rub their hands on the carpet and take a nap in the chair.\r\n\r\nWe had a classroom rule to sit in the corner you had to take your shoes off to keep the carpet clean. They all thought that was a great rule and followed it and even helped hold each other accountable for the rule. \r\n\r\nThe the reading corner was initially to be used during reading time however, it was used much more than that. Whenever students would finish with work earlier, they would take a book and go to the corner. This was also used as a calming space when a student needed time away. They would go take their shoes off and sit on the beanbag and listen to music or lay on the carpet and just regroup. \r\n\r\nAll students increased their reading grade levels and learned to enjoy reading.Thank you again for all your help to make this reading corner.","fullyFundedDate":1723654508269,"projectUrl":"project/reading-corner-for-special-education-cla/8639920/","projectTitle":"Reading Corner For Special Education Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fuller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9290135"},{"teacherId":9782942,"projectId":8984304,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of our classroom project! Your contributions have made a significant difference in the lives of my students, who all face intellectual and social disabilities but are eager to learn and engage. Recently, we implemented visual schedules with magnets displayed in our common area, which has empowered my students to independently answer questions like, \"What time do I have recess?\" This small change has fostered greater self-sufficiency and confidence among them.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their reactions were priceless. They were genuinely excited to play with the 260 Piece STEM Learning Toys Kids Construction Engineering Kit, and I loved celebrating their accomplishments with stamps featuring our mascot, a Lion. They love playing with the state cards & learning about the state facts. The laminating sheets you provided have also been invaluable, allowing us to reuse resources and minimize paper waste. As we continue our current science and geography lessons, I am eager to explore more engaging ways to teach these subjects that cater to their unique needs. Your support has made this learning journey possible, and I can't wait to share more successes with you in the future!","fullyFundedDate":1739375881755,"projectUrl":"project/reaching-for-independence/8984304/","projectTitle":"Reaching for Independence!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Krista Wade","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9782942_orig.jpg?crop=2229,2229,x0,y74&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756506254878","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9782942"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35508","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":752,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.5,"schoolId":35508,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Laurin Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Laurin Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/battle-ground-school-district-119/laurin-middle-school/35508"}
