These resources have quickly become an important part of our daily routine, allowing students to settle in, feel comfortable, and prepare for learning. The play-dough and blocks have been a huge hit in our classroom! Students eagerly engage with the materials as they arrive, using them to build, create, and connect with one another. This calm and structured start has made our mornings smoother and has helped set a positive tone for the entire day.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their reaction was pure joy. They were so excited to receive the boxes and could hardly wait to open them. Their excitement filled the room as they explored each item and immediately wanted to play with everything at once. Thanks to your generosity, our first graders are learning and growing every day. We are already building anticipation for summer and preparing for the exciting transition to 2nd grade. These materials continue to support our classroom community and help our students move forward with confidence and enthusiasm.","fullyFundedDate":1760408166072,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-beginnings-support-our/9434185/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Beginnings: Support Our Soft Start!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Melton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10064220_orig.jpg?crop=345,345,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751134470159","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10064220"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_133818","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":49,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":133818,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Academy of Collaborative Education on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Academy of Collaborative Education","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/louisiana-state-board-of-elementary-and-secondary-education/academy-of-collaborative-education/133818"}
