The new ELA and Math manipulatives have made abstract concepts concrete and engaging for my young learners. Instead of simply hearing about a skill, students are building words, physically moving math pieces, and actively participating in lessons. I have seen increased confidence, stronger participation, and more meaningful conversations as students explain their thinking using these materials. Your support has helped create a classroom environment where learning feels exciting and accessible for every child.\r\n\r\nThe sticker and smelly marker incentives have also made a powerful impact. For kindergarten students especially, small rewards go a long way in building motivation and celebrating effort. Watching their faces light up when they earn a special sticker or get to use a scented marker has strengthened our positive classroom culture. These simple tools reinforce perseverance, responsibility, and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nFinally, the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card from Teachers Pay Teachers allows me to thoughtfully select high-quality, targeted resources that directly support my students' specific needs. This flexibility ensures I can continue meeting learners where they are and provide differentiated instruction throughout the year. Your kindness and belief in our classroom have made a lasting difference, and my students are thriving because of you. Thank you for investing in their growth and joy in learning.","fullyFundedDate":1764629681243,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-literacy-tools-to-help-every/9417723/","projectTitle":"Unlocking Literacy: Tools to Help Every Child Succeed","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Orwasky","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7706091_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1610026398859","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7706091"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107633","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":777,"numTeachers":57,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":86,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":107633,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Weirton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Weirton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/west-virginia/hancock-county-school-district/weirton-elementary-school/107633"}
