When my students walked into the classroom and saw the new supplies, their faces lit up with excitement. They immediately noticed the fresh, welcoming environment created by the cleaning wipes and air freshener, and several students even commented that our room \"smells like a brand-new classroom.\" This simple change has made them feel more comfortable and focused, ready to learn each day.\r\n\r\nThe pencils have already been put to good use during writing and math lessons. Instead of worrying about whether they have the tools they need, my students can now jump right into their work with confidence. Even more exciting has been watching them use the social-emotional learning conversation cubes. These have sparked meaningful discussions about empathy, self-awareness, and kindness, helping us strengthen our classroom community in ways that go far beyond academics.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly made an impact. My students are not only equipped with the essentials for success but also learning how to support each other socially and emotionally. As we continue into the school year, we'll keep building on these strong foundations you helped us create. Thank you for believing in my students and giving them the opportunity to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1754669726214,"projectUrl":"project/clean-calm-and-ready-to-learn/9487699/","projectTitle":"Clean, Calm, and Ready to Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Will","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8654610_orig.jpg?crop=2892,2892,x0,y1078&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692889989955","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8654610"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4855","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":398,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":12,"percentAsian":45,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":92.4,"schoolId":4855,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Amy Imai Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Amy Imai Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/mountain-view-whisman-school-district/frank-l-huff-elementary-school/4855"}
