We are building our fine motor through play so our fingers are strong and able to write our letters to eventually turn into words down the road. We are developing our letter-sound brain as well so we can start reading words. Our classroom is busy all day long with little learners who are discovering their world through play. Learning letters, sounds, and early reading skills takes a lot of practice, and having hands-on games transforms that practice into something our students genuinely look forward to every day.\r\n\r\nSeeing their excitement and confidence grow as they master new things is why I became a teacher, and because of your support, their excitement is greater than ever!","fullyFundedDate":1787176592945,"projectUrl":"project/new-year-new-supplies/10446810/","projectTitle":"New Year, New Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gildner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3165485_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1468472220378","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-p10512"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42237","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":336,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":16,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":77.4,"schoolId":42237,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lakeshore Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lakeshore Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/fond-du-lac-school-district/lakeshore-elementary-school/42237"}
