As we opened the boxes, they gasped, clapped, and excitedly guessed what each item might be. The materials quickly became part of our morning centers, where children explored them through building, sorting, creating, and imaginative play. One memorable moment was when two children who rarely play together worked side‑by‑side to build a \"big tower for everyone,\" proudly inviting their classmates to come see what they made.\r\n\r\nThese resources have already helped the children grow in confidence, cooperation, and curiosity. They're using the materials to practice early problem‑solving, language skills, and creativity in ways that feel natural and joyful for their age. Our next steps are to use these tools in a simple storytelling project where children will build scenes and characters, then share the stories they imagine. Their excitement is growing each day, and your generosity has made these meaningful learning experiences possible.","fullyFundedDate":1765310738717,"projectUrl":"project/unity-in-learning/9808926/","projectTitle":"Unity in Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johanna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9337696_orig.jpg?crop=567,567,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724337217446","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9337696"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_111078","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":54.9,"schoolId":111078,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ewing/Lawrence Head Start on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ewing/Lawrence Head Start","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/gateway-community-action-partnership-head-start/ewing-lawrence/111078"}
