They brought this project to life and dressed as their notable person along with their research report for a \"walk-a-bout\" to share with their families.

Your support has made a world of difference in our third-grade classroom, and I'm excited to share how your contribution is already transforming our learning experience.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the excitement was palpable! The students' eyes lit up as we unboxed each item. Many of them exclaimed, \"This is so cool!\" and couldn't wait to dive into the hands-on learning tools. It was a moment filled with pure joy and gratitude.\r\n\r\nThese resources have brought a new level of engagement to our lessons. The hands-on nature of the tools allows every student to connect with the material in a meaningful way, especially those who thrive with tactile learning.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're planning to use the materials for an upcoming unit on geography. The students will work on creating dioramas and using compasses. The confidence and enthusiasm they've gained from our first project are already paving the way for future successes.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and supporting our journey. Your kindness has opened up a world of opportunities for my students, and I cannot wait to see how they continue to grow and explore with these amazing tools.","fullyFundedDate":1727462986034,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning/8578096/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tredway","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2698116_orig.jpg?crop=1598,1598,x67,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1564518930075","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2698116"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41866","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":560,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":65,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":48.5,"schoolId":41866,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gunnison Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gunnison Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/gunnison-watershed-sd-re-1j/gunnison-community-school/41866"}
