Transitioning into a new role as a Dyslexia specialist is a major milestone, and doing so in a room without windows presented a unique challenge. Thanks to your support, we have transformed this space into a bright, welcoming, and highly effective learning environment. When my students first walked into the room and saw the new resources, their faces lit up—they were so excited to see \"cool\" tools and a space that felt specifically designed for their needs.\r\n\r\nWe are currently using the new resources daily to bridge the gap in literacy. One specific moment that stands out was when a student, who has historically struggled with confidence, used our new organizational tools to find exactly what they needed and successfully decoded a complex word. The look of pride on their face was priceless and made it clear just how much of a difference a well-equipped environment makes.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps involve diving deeper into our advanced morphology units. With these new materials, I can provide the differentiated instruction my students deserve, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way. You haven't just provided \"stuff\"; you've provided the tools for my students to unlock their full potential and find joy in reading.","fullyFundedDate":1758891048435,"projectUrl":"project/new-position-dyslexia-and-a-new-classr/9419425/","projectTitle":"New Position (Dyslexia) and a New Classroom With No Windows!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chambless","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3035317_orig.jpg?crop=2087,2087,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750179175797","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3035317"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12135","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":521,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"18.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":68.0,"schoolId":12135,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mayes Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Mayes Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/denison-independent-school-district/mayes-elementary-school/12135"}
