From the moment the new resources arrived, our classroom was filled with cheers, excitement, and wide-eyed smiles. The students could hardly wait to jump in and explore everything. The parachute quickly became a favorite as students worked together during team-building games, movement activities, and cooperative learning challenges. The jump ropes brought so much joy and energy to our classroom as students practiced coordination, balance, and healthy movement while encouraging one another like true circus teammates.\r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments happened during our Kindergarten Circus when the students were so excited to do their disappearing act under the parachute. It took a lot of teamwork to make this happen. Students used the parachute for colorful group games that taught them how to cooperate, listen, and move together as a team. Their laughter filled the room as they bounced balls across the parachute and practiced following directions while working together. The jump ropes became part of our movement stations, where students challenged themselves to learn new skills and celebrate each other's successes. Watching their confidence grow while having so much fun was truly magical!\r\n\r\nThe excitement continues as we move into the next steps of our learning adventures. We are using these materials to support even more movement-based learning activities, cooperative games, and confidence-building challenges throughout the remainder of the year. Our students are continuing to develop teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills while staying active and engaged. Your generosity helped create meaningful experiences that our kindergarten students will remember long after the circus fun is over. Thank you for helping us bring joy, movement, creativity, and unforgettable memories into our classroom. You truly helped make our kindergarten circus the greatest show on earth! 🎪✨","fullyFundedDate":1767114442116,"projectUrl":"project/join-the-fun-help-us-build-our-kinderga/9835945/","projectTitle":"Join the Fun: Help Us Build our Kindergarten Circus!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Boyter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3928491_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647193525185","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3928491"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107985","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":357,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":96,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"25.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":107985,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cottonwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cottonwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/colorado-city-unified-school-district/cottonwood-elementary-school/107985"}
