They are more engaged during lessons and excited to learn. These resources help me meet the different needs of all learners in my classroom. Some students are learning new skills, some are practicing what they already know, and some are being challenged to go even further.\r\n\r\nIn literacy, students are building strong foundations in letter sounds, reading, and comprehension. In math, they are practicing number sense, counting, and problem-solving in meaningful ways. I am able to work with small groups and give students the support they need to grow and succeed.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these materials help every child feel successful and confident as a learner. I can see their excitement and pride as they learn new skills each day.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and supporting their learning. Your generosity is making a real difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1763079527256,"projectUrl":"project/the-kindergarten-best-rm-4/9628507/","projectTitle":"The Kindergarten Best: Rm. 4","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pike","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9665738"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9313","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":381,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"15.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":79.5,"schoolId":9313,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gene Howe Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Gene Howe Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/canyon-independent-school-district/gene-howe-elementary-school/9313"}
