  • Phonics Small Group Materials

    Funded Dec 22, 2022

    We would like to express our deepest gratitude for your generous contribution towards the "Phonics Small Group Materials" project. Your support has made a significant impact on our students and their learning journey. We wanted to take a moment to share with you the remarkable outcomes and how these resources have transformed our classroom.

    With the new phonics small group materials, we have been able to implement engaging and interactive activities that cater to the individual needs of our students. One particular project that stands out is the "Word Builders" activity. Using the colorful letter tiles and word cards from the donated materials, our students have been able to construct words, decode sounds, and develop their phonetic skills. Witnessing their enthusiasm as they proudly built their first words and recognized familiar sounds was truly heartwarming.

    The students' reaction when they first saw the materials was nothing short of pure joy and excitement. Their eyes lit up with anticipation as they explored the vibrant resources. They eagerly gathered around the small group tables, eager to dive into the world of letters and sounds. It was a delight to see their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, knowing that these materials had made a tangible difference in their engagement and motivation.

    Looking ahead, the next steps for our students involve expanding their phonics knowledge and applying it to their reading and writing. We will continue to utilize the donated materials to reinforce phonetic concepts and encourage independent exploration. We are confident that with these resources, our students will make significant strides in their literacy skills, building a strong foundation for their academic success.

    Once again, we extend our sincerest gratitude for your invaluable support. Your donation has empowered our students and enabled us to create a dynamic learning environment. We are immensely grateful for your commitment to our students' education and their future success.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Thomas
