The impact of reading also helps with their comprehension and helps with their understanding of reading. The students also are impacted by learning about Ruby (an elephant) and about where she comes from (africa).

The new resources and supplies were such a big hit. We use headphones and whiteboards every single day in our classroom and the new ones helped to ensure that every child had one of each to use and helped us replace old ones that were on the brink of being unusable. The Yacker Tracker has also been an exciting new addition to our class. The students were really excited about it when I first set it up. While the novelty of it has wore off a bit, the students continue to look over and check it when they hear the noise level in the class. It is such a great visual reminder for them to keep their voices down inside the classroom. \r\n\r\nWe will continue to use the materials every day. We have the incentive wall charts and individual charts in place as well and they are really making a difference in the students' motivation to continue working and achieving new levels. Thank you so much again for your support. Your support with these new materials has truly been a blessing for both my students and I.","fullyFundedDate":1768057429338,"projectUrl":"project/creating-an-awesome-classroom-environmen/9987859/","projectTitle":"Creating an Awesome Classroom Environment for Highly Engaged Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McGaughey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9496712_orig.jpg?crop=907,908,x0,y33&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1710970949981","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9496712"},{"teacherId":314044,"projectId":9988430,"letterContent":"The impact can already be felt by my class.

We were able to see the parts of the plants with our models and in real life. We even got to learn about plant cell structure.

It also helps keep their desks clean which makes their teacher very happy. They also love the pigeon books so much. We now have two to three copies of several titles of each of the pigeon books and we can't keep them on the shelves. With several copies though, the students can partner read them together which they thoroughly enjoy and helps them with their reading. \r\n\r\nThe students were so excited to receive a new puzzle for our Word Work center. They absolutely love the different word work puzzles and do them often so a new one is very exciting for them.\r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate your generosity in helping fund this project.

These texts give students opportunities to practice identifying key details, comparing information across sources, and asking thoughtful questions about the world around them. With nonfiction, they aren't just learning to read—they are learning how to find evidence, think critically, and connect new knowledge to their own lives. These are skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nIn our library, reading has become a time of excitement and exploration. Students gather in small groups to share interesting facts, take notes in their reading journals, and even debate what they've learned. Nonfiction texts help us shift from reading \"just for practice\" to reading with purpose. For example, when a student discovers a fascinating detail about space or animals, it often sparks a conversation that engages the whole class. The books have transformed our reading time into a space where students feel like real researchers and explorers.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially found joy in these new books. One student who used to be hesitant to read now proudly checks out animal fact books each week, eager to share what she learns with her classmates. Another student, who loves building and creating, is drawn to texts about inventions and engineering—he even started sketching his own designs inspired by what he read. These moments remind us that the books are not just resources; they are opening doors to new interests, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1744920472590,"projectUrl":"project/beyond-boundaries-a-journey-through-the/9223904/","projectTitle":"Beyond Boundaries: A Journey Through the World of Knowledge","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7787888"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82975","usesÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":583,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":75,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":41.7,"schoolId":82975,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Paul E Culley Elementary School on @ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½:","schoolName":"Paul E Culley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/paul-e-culley-elementary-school/82975"}
