In preschool, paper is used everyday for drawing and writing. Children are just learning how to write and what it means to add detail to their drawings. When they are finished with their work, they feel a sense of pride in themselves for accomplishing something new. \r\n\r\nAny time new paper is brought out in our art and writing center, the students are over joyed! They were so thrilled someone thought of them and gifted paper for them to use. \r\n\r\nWe use paper everyday, for drawing, writing and crafts. We recently used green paper to rip into small pieces to create a 4-leaf clover. We also use paper to create a calendar for students parents, they get to paint each paper and make it into something fitting for the month it represents. We use paper to create a family board, each student picks a color of their choice to display their family, for the class to see. We also have unit projects, earlier in the year, students created a coral reef and were able to make sea creature and underwater life with the paper gifted.","fullyFundedDate":1701974387369,"projectUrl":"project/paper-supplies/7803165/","projectTitle":"Paper Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cappon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8702680"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63900","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":199,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"10.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":41.4,"schoolId":63900,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Byron Center Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Byron Center Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/michigan-department-of-education/byron-center-charter-school/63900"}
