Having a variety of books at their reading levels will give my students more opportunities to practice their skills, build confidence, and develop a love of reading.\r\n\r\nThe books I purchased are leveled, starting at Level A, which is perfect for beginning readers. These books feature simple sentences that incorporate high-frequency words, such as \"I like to see,\" helping students practice recognizing familiar words and building early reading skills. Each book also includes fun stories and beautiful illustrations that capture students' attention and keep them excited about reading.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my kindergarteners will have more opportunities to experience the joy of reading and celebrate their progress as they grow into readers. Thank you for investing in my students, supporting their learning, and helping make our classroom library an even more exciting place to learn and grow.

Your donation to my project funded items such has tangle free headphones and wireless mice. These items have greatly impacted the learning in my classrooms. \r\n\r\nAs you can imagine literacy is a very important component of our school day. I start the school year teaching my students the foundational skills such as letter names and sounds, then we quickly move into blending sounds to read words. My students require ample practice while learning these foundational skills. You will notice that one of the pictures I submitted with this letter is a picture of alphabet cards. These cards were made with the laminating sheets that were funded in my project (thank you!) I made these letter cards so that I could create games that my students could play while they are practice the skills that I have previously taught. Creating games for my students to play makes learning fun and engaging. \r\n\r\nTechnology plays a huge role in education. Often times in a kindergarten classroom students will be introduced to computers, headphones and mice for the first time. The tangle free headphones and wireless mice that were purchased through your donation make it easier for my students to learn while on a computer. They do not have to worry about cords get tangled, or broken cords. In the picture attached to this letter you will see a group of students on computers wearing the headphones and using the wireless mice. These students are listening to a read aloud story. They were able to navigate the computer, click on the story for it to begin, and then they were able to turn the computer off when they were done listening. \r\n\r\nThank you again for donating to my project. Your kind gesture goes a long way in creating a positive learning experience for students.","fullyFundedDate":1757549551438,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-supplies/9606748/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thornton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8128561"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36190","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":520,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.3,"schoolId":36190,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bordeaux Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bordeaux Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/shelton-school-district-309/bordeaux-elementary-school/36190"}
