The flying disks were a huge hit. The students are already looking forward to a rainy day recess so we can use the nerf door hoop.

The bean bag has quickly become a favorite spot in our classroom for reading and reflection, creating a cozy corner that makes learning feel even more enjoyable. The cookies and chips were shared as a reward of their hardworks and the smiles on my students' faces showed just how much this special treat meant to them. These simple items brought so much joy and helped build a sense of community.\r\nOne of the most memorable moments was when a student curled up in the bean bag with a book and proudly announced that it was the most comfortable reading time they had ever had. Seeing my students use these resources not only for fun, but also to encourage a love for learning, has been so rewarding. The snacks also served as small but meaningful motivators that reminded them their hard work is always valued.\r\nLooking ahead, my students are excited to continue using the bean bag chair as part of our independent reading rotation. The treats have inspired me to plan more classroom celebrations where students can showcase their progress and share their achievements together. Your support has given us not just materials, but experiences that my students will remember. Thank you for being such an important part of our classroom journey.","fullyFundedDate":1758636533945,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/9693511/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tinapay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10094179"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2684","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":354,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":41,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":64.0,"schoolId":2684,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Edward D Sadler Junior Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Edward D Sadler Junior Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/gaston-county-school-district/edward-sadler-junior-elementary-school/2684"}
