The materials you provided—post-it notes, various colored highlighters, and anchor charts—have made an immediate and significant impact on our students' learning experience.\r\n\r\nEach week, we engage in close-reading activities four times to strengthen our reading comprehension skills. Thanks to your contribution, our students now have the tools to dive deeply into texts with focus and confidence. The highlighters allow them to annotate and differentiate key ideas, themes, and textual evidence with precision. Meanwhile, the post-it notes encourage them to jot down their thoughts, ask questions, and track their understanding as they read. These small but mighty tools empower even our more reluctant readers to actively engage with the material.\r\n\r\nThe anchor charts have become an invaluable resource for the entire class. They serve as visual aids, reinforcing strategies like writing a summary, making inferences, and supporting answers with evidence. Having these charts accessible has fostered a sense of independence and collaboration, as students refer to them frequently during discussions and written responses.\r\n\r\nOur classroom has transformed into a vibrant space for critical thinking and exploration. It's incredible to see how these simple yet powerful tools have encouraged our students to take ownership of their learning. The joy on their faces when they uncover a deeper meaning in a text or successfully support their arguments with textual evidence is priceless—and it's all thanks to you.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only provided us with essential materials but has also shown our students that there is a community out there that believes in their potential. We are deeply grateful for your support and for making a difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1723654507935,"projectUrl":"project/close-reading-class-kit/8530516/","projectTitle":"Close Reading Class Kit","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Page","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5515048_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660494328330","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrspage5"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35528","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":928,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":35528,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hockinson Heights Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hockinson Heights Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/hockinson-school-district-98/hockinson-heights-primary-school/35528"}
