We have started the year off strong. The Pre-K and Kindergarten LOVE their library bags. They are choosing wonderful library books, checking them out, and then taking them to and from school. The books have been protected from the rain already this year!\r\n\r\nI appreciated the gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers. I plan to use them to purchase materials that support my lessons within the library. The Pay Doh is perfect for the lessons I am developing for the students to practice making letters, shapes, and boosting their creativity. The magnets will be used in STEAM and specific science objectives. \r\n\r\nWe are excited to get started and develop a strong and supportive library time with all of our students PreK-5th.\r\n\r\nThank you again.","fullyFundedDate":1779158601219,"projectUrl":"project/materials-for-library-steam-lessons-and/10250465/","projectTitle":"Materials for Library Steam Lessons and Protective Library Book Bags","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Black","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1969283_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758918675010","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1969283"},{"teacherId":10032810,"projectId":10334764,"letterContent":"Thanks to DonorsChoose donors, my students have been positively impacted by the materials provided for our classroom. The Magic Erase boards have been especially helpful in giving students the opportunity to practice writing letters, numbers, and words repeatedly. These boards make learning fun and engaging while allowing students to build confidence, improve their handwriting, and strengthen their fine motor skills. My students are excited to practice, make corrections, and celebrate their progress. These materials have made a meaningful difference in our classroom by supporting hands-on learning and helping every student grow as a writer.","fullyFundedDate":1785183699292,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-game-changers/10334764/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Game Changers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10032810"},{"teacherId":8820113,"projectId":10094522,"letterContent":"These toys brought both joy and meaningful learning into our classroom. Through play and exploration, our students used these materials to communicate, problem-solve, and connect with one another. We celebrated students saying their first words, counting for the first time, learning to share and play alongside their peers, and discovering new ways to interact with learning materials.\r\n\r\nEvery toy became an opportunity for growth. Students expanded their communication, built social skills, strengthened their cognitive and problem-solving abilities, and gained confidence as learners. Most importantly, these materials allowed our students to experience the joy of learning through play while making meaningful progress across all areas of development.","fullyFundedDate":1772239289311,"projectUrl":"project/play-explore-communicate/10094522/","projectTitle":"Play, Explore, Communicate!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Delmare","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8820113_orig.jpg?crop=952,953,x0,y85&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1671031654717","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8820113"},{"teacherId":7761268,"projectId":9407868,"letterContent":"Our school has six garden locations and a fruit orchard spread throughout the exterior. It is great, but that means lots of tools being hauled around everywhere. Thanks to your donation, we now have a total of two tools carts and a utility cart. \r\n\r\nThe tool carts enable us to safely and quickly transport our garden tools to multiple locations. Once the jobs are done, we simply wheel them back into the storage shed. The utility cart takes a load off our backs as we bring in trays of plants and bags of soil.

Because of you, my elementary students with apraxia and articulation needs now have access to high-quality therapy materials that will make a meaningful difference in their learning. These resources will be used daily to help students practice sounds, build motor planning skills, and gain confidence in their ability to communicate clearly.\r\n\r\nYour support goes far beyond purchasing materials—it directly impacts students' voices. With these tools, therapy sessions are more engaging, individualized, and effective, allowing students to make progress at their own pace while experiencing success. I am deeply grateful for your investment in our students' communication skills and for believing in their potential. Thank you for helping our students find their voices and share them with the world.","fullyFundedDate":1757980310026,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-talking-in-speech-therapy/9701640/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Talking in Speech Therapy!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cathopoulis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6258010"},{"teacherId":10066402,"projectId":9438298,"letterContent":"Thank you so, so much for your generous donation to our Cool Cats classroom! The difference these supplies have made are evident across our entire day. We start our day with breakfast, and the kids happily exclaim \"I got a wiggle!\" as they sit to begin the day. The ability to wiggle without disrupting others or interfere with the daily routine has been huge. \r\n\r\nWhen we move to the carpet, the kids are excited to select their spot on our new bright, happy carpet. The ability to choose a clearly marked spot has made such a difference in the ease in which we transition. The adaptive seating options, including our laundry basket boats, give the students agency and control over how they sit. \r\nCenter time has gotten cozier with our fabulous new couch! The kids could not believe their eyes when they saw the sofa, and immediately began to lounge across the couch. It remains a popular option as students gravitate to the couch to curl up with a good book.","fullyFundedDate":1755731496604,"projectUrl":"project/you-getget-adaptive-seating/9438298/","projectTitle":"You GetGet Adaptive Seating!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Megan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10066402_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y177&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751153584371","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10066402"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33498","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":436,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":66.3,"schoolId":33498,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dr. Charles R.
