Your generosity has made such a difference for my Transitional Kindergarten students.\r\n\r\nWhen the new materials arrived, my students were beyond excited. They couldn't wait to explore everything, and hearing them say, \"Is this for our classroom?\" with huge smiles on their faces was so special. Watching their excitement reminded me how meaningful these resources are to young learners.\r\n\r\nWe've already started using the materials during our hands-on learning centers, small-group instruction, and sensory activities. My students are becoming more confident as they practice important early learning skills like letter recognition, counting, fine motor development, and working together with classmates. Seeing their confidence grow each day has been incredible.\r\n\r\nAs we begin the new school year, we'll continue using these resources to support play-based learning, encourage curiosity, and help build a classroom where every child feels safe, loved, and excited to learn. We'll be exploring letters, numbers, beginning writing, science discoveries, and social-emotional skills through engaging, hands-on activities that these materials make possible.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and believing in our classroom. Your kindness is helping create meaningful learning experiences that my students will remember long after this school year. We are so grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1778032412598,"projectUrl":"project/young-learners-learn-through-play/10263387/","projectTitle":"Young Learners Learn Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Beltran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9409123_orig.jpg?crop=540,540,x0,y383&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1702356890340","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9409123"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79008","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":854,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":90,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":79008,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ben Hulse Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ben Hulse Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/imperial-unified-school-district/ben-hulse-elementary-school/79008"}
