It also gives them the chance to practice taking turns, sharing materials, and working together to make something as a team.\r\n\r\nThis play experience has also supported their language and social skills. As they talk about the chimney and what it's used for, they learn new words and express their ideas with confidence.

The pretend chimney has brought excitement and joy to our library visits, making learning fun and engaging for everyone.","fullyFundedDate":1755701137322,"projectUrl":"project/fireplace-in-the-classroom/9556603/","projectTitle":"Fireplace in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Leslie Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7758076_orig.png?crop=427,427,x113,y359&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1617239778921","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/helpoutateacher"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7435","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":456,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.1,"schoolId":7435,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Anton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Anton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/anton-elementary-school/7435"}
