Each student knows their letter that is assigned to them for our carpet seating chart. We have also used it to help us learn our letters and sounds by playing games like \"find the letter\". \r\n\r\nI plan to continue to use the rug for the remainder of the year and the following years as well. It has been a great addition to the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1753965182204,"projectUrl":"project/learning-our-abcs/9318674/","projectTitle":"Learning our ABCs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hambalek","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9220509_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746404971614","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9220509"},{"teacherId":9220509,"projectId":9318737,"letterContent":"My students were thrilled to see the new addition to our classroom library.

We are currently learning our letter sounds and beginning to blend words. We will begin our small group interventions soon and I plan to use these books to help teach my students how to read a book. They will learn to identify the front cover, back cover, title page and spine of a book. As well as how to track words with their finger and read from left to right.","fullyFundedDate":1746787036977,"projectUrl":"project/creating-little-readers/9318737/","projectTitle":"Creating Little Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hambalek","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9220509_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746404971614","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9220509"},{"teacherId":9222381,"projectId":9242219,"letterContent":"We received many books to enhance our Yoto listening experience. Our preschoolers are not yet reading books on their own, so when they are able to listen to the the Yoto and follow along with the books that we received from Donor's Choose, it has made a huge difference with our students.\r\nOur Yoto library has increased significantly, thanks to Donor's Choose. We had many Yoto cards prior to our donation request, but we were lacking the books to look at while listening. Our students use our Yoto daily and we are able to switch out the stories more often because of all the books that were purchased for our project.\r\nWe use our Yoto and new books during large group story time as well as students can listen independently or with a peer. We have enough headphones for 2 students to listen at a time. We all enjoy watching the students eyes light up as they are able to follow along with the new books while listening.\r\nThank you so much for funding our project with new books! We are so grateful for all that we received.","fullyFundedDate":1744232289946,"projectUrl":"project/young-learners-follow-along-with-audiobo/9242219/","projectTitle":"Young Learners Follow Along With Audiobooks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cady","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9222381_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692983246611","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9222381"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53406","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":531,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.2,"schoolId":53406,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stetson Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Stetson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/falcon-school-district-49/stetson-elementary-school/53406"}
