Your generosity has truly helped create a classroom environment where students feel supported, engaged, and excited to learn each day.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were beyond excited. They immediately noticed the STEM toys, books, and new supplies and could not wait to start exploring them. Many students asked if they could build with the magnet tiles and LEGOs right away, while others rushed to look through the new books to find one they wanted to read. Seeing their excitement and joy reminded me how meaningful these resources are for our classroom community.\r\n\r\nWe have already started using the materials during our morning \"soft start,\" where students use the STEM toys like Brain Flakes, magnet tiles, LEGOs, and Play-Doh to ease into the day in a calm and engaging way. These activities have helped students collaborate, problem-solve, and start their mornings with a positive mindset. The books have quickly become favorites during independent reading and \"First Chapter Friday,\" helping students discover new genres, authors, and perspectives. The PE equipment has also been a huge success during recess. \r\n\r\nOne special moment was watching a group of students work together to build a structure with the magnet tiles during soft start. Students who do not always work together were communicating, encouraging one another, and proudly sharing their finished creation with the class. It was a great reminder that these resources support not only academic growth, but also social and emotional learning.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the rest of the school year, students will keep using these materials during collaborative STEM challenges, reading activities, recess, and classroom community-building opportunities. We are continuing to focus on strengthening teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and a love of learning, and these resources are helping make that possible every single day.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where they feel valued, supported, and inspired to learn. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our class.","fullyFundedDate":1767118462846,"projectUrl":"project/stem-stories-sports-a-whole-child-le/9626996/","projectTitle":"STEM, Stories & Sports: A Whole-Child Learning Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Simmons","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10189435_orig.png?crop=667,667,x0,y111&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757005959450","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10189435"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72951","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":416,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":14,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.4,"schoolId":72951,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ypsilanti International Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ypsilanti International Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/ypsilanti-community-school-district/adams-academy/72951"}
