The items you helped donated have already made a huge impact on my students' learning and joy in the classroom. \r\n\r\nThe sorting activities have turned into a favorite way to build early math and problem solving skills. My students love working together to group objects by color, size and shape. The puppet theater has inspired creativity and has even inspired older students to volunteer to put on a show for the TK students. The magnetic shapes have sparked excitement for building and design. Students are experimenting with patterns and structures, developing both spatial awareness and early engineering skills all while having fun. \r\n\r\nEvery day I see their faces light up as they explore, create and imagine with these tools. They are not only learning essential academic skills but also practicing teamwork, communication, and creativity. These resources are helping my TK students develop a love for learning that will follow them as they continue their educational journey.","fullyFundedDate":1755710340615,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-for-little-minds/9569471/","projectTitle":"Hands On Learning For Little Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. P.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp403114_orig.jpg?crop=1179,1179,x0,y157&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1681489525475","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/poggi"},{"teacherId":403114,"projectId":9312391,"letterContent":"This project has inspired students to see themselves as creators and problem-solvers.

Seeing his digital ideas transformed into physical objects has given him a sense of pride and accomplishment. His progress illustrates how 3D design can spark curiosity, build confidence, and open new pathways for students who may not otherwise feel successful in traditional classroom settings.","fullyFundedDate":1746450114577,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-curiosity-and-creativity-through/9312391/","projectTitle":"Fueling Curiosity and Creativity Through 3D Design","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. P.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp403114_orig.jpg?crop=1179,1179,x0,y157&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1681489525475","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/poggi"},{"teacherId":403114,"projectId":9003735,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donations to our PBIS store.

Since implementing the project, students have demonstrated remarkable improvements in their behavior, showing greater focus and responsibility in their day-to-day activities. The reward of 3D printing has inspired them to channel their energy into creative and productive tasks, reducing distractions and fostering a positive classroom environment. This project has given students a sense of ownership and pride, motivating them to maintain discipline and respect for their peers and the tools they use.\r\nBeyond improved behavior, the students are exceeding expectations in the classroom. They are no longer just meeting the baseline requirements but are going above and beyond. The excitement surrounding the 3D printing process has sparked their curiosity and ambition, encouraging them to think critically and innovate. Their dedication reflects a newfound passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom walls.\r\nMoreover, the project has fostered a culture of collaboration and support among students. Many of them are voluntarily giving up their recess time to assist me with other classes. This willingness to contribute highlights the project's role in building a strong sense of community and leadership within our school. Donors to this initiative have not only provided materials but also empowered students to thrive in ways that extend far beyond the 3D printer.","fullyFundedDate":1731514018291,"projectUrl":"project/pbis-rewards-for-outstanding-students/8935868/","projectTitle":"PBIS Rewards for Outstanding Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. P.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp403114_orig.jpg?crop=1179,1179,x0,y157&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1681489525475","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/poggi"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53698","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":647,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":73,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"25.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":88.9,"schoolId":53698,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alberta Martone Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alberta Martone Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/modesto-city-schools/alberta-martone-elementary-school/53698"}
