It has been an exciting journey, one that has not only brought joy to the kids but also provided valuable learning opportunities. From the moment they stepped into the classroom, the children were filled with delight and excitement as they explored the various stations set up in the dramatic play area. They were absolutely thrilled to see the tent, campfire, and other camping essentials, which instantly sparked their imaginations and took them on an adventure without leaving the room. Their giggles and laughter echoed throughout the space as they pretended to set up camp, telling stories and pretending to roast marshmallows, fully immersing themselves in the fun of it all.","fullyFundedDate":1741131369079,"projectUrl":"project/camping-kindergarten-style/9131830/","projectTitle":"Camping Kindergarten Style!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wonner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp319276_orig.jpg?crop=1733,1733,x534,y493&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1572539781228","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/p-wonner"},{"teacherId":319276,"projectId":9034469,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, we've been able to completely transform our reading centers. I get to watch the learning unfold right before my eyes – but don't let the kids know, they think they're just having fun! Each week, we do a five-station rotation, and by adding one or two hands-on games, the kids stay highly engaged and excited to work. This has allowed me to spend uninterrupted one-on-one time with a group. It's incredible how a few small changes can have such a big impact on the flow of our sessions!","fullyFundedDate":1736992181325,"projectUrl":"project/ready-set-read/9034469/","projectTitle":"Ready Set Read!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wonner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp319276_orig.jpg?crop=1733,1733,x534,y493&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1572539781228","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/p-wonner"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83514","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":417,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"19.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.1,"schoolId":83514,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Buckeye Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Buckeye Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/salem-city-school-district/buckeye-elementary-school/83514"}
