Because of your incredible generosity, our project, \"Laminating for Learning: Creating Reusable Resources and Preserving Creativity,\" is now a reality. We are especially grateful to General Motors for fueling this project and investing directly in our students' education.\r\n\r\nThis project has completely transformed our daily learning environment. Having a high-quality laminator and supplies means my students can now interact with hands-on learning games, math mats, and writing templates over and over again. Instead of worrying about ruining paper materials, they can confidently explore, make mistakes, and try again using dry-erase markers.\r\n\r\nBecause of the materials provided by General Motors, I have been able to accomplish so much more in my daily teaching. I can now build a robust library of permanent, interactive center activities that will last for years. It allows me to spend less time constantly making copies and more time focused on small-group instruction and individual student needs. Most importantly, it has allowed me to preserve my students' beautiful artwork and creative projects so they can proudly share them with their families.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has brought so much joy and organization to our classroom.

This project incorporated First Nations curriculum and served as a powerful way to bridge cultures.

Beyond the cultural connection, this project helped students build fine motor skills and confidence as they explored their own unique designs.\r\n\r\nThank you for making my first year so special and for investing in my students' artistic journeys.","fullyFundedDate":1767203702263,"projectUrl":"project/new-art-supplies-for-pre-k-through-fourt/9759464/","projectTitle":"New Art Supplies for Pre-K Through Fourth Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Austin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8475708_orig.jpg?crop=311,311,x0,y15&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659819185920","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8475708"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78700","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":46,"numTeachers":8,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":31,"percentIndigenous":50,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":12,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"5.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":48.7,"schoolId":78700,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dixon Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dixon Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/dixon-school-district-9/dixon-elementary-school/78700"}
