With these funds, I designed a visual classroom schedule and clear visual expectations that help our young learners navigate their day with confidence and independence. In our reading corner, the newly created custom classroom books—featuring pages made by the children and pictures of their classmates—have quickly become class favorites, building literacy skills while strengthening our sense of community.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the grant supported our hands-on curriculum by funding custom learning games for our new Tree Study unit. These interactive games give the students a fun, playful way to explore different types of trees, understand their usefulness, and learn how to care for the environment. This grant provided essential resources that continue to foster curiosity, connection, and a joy for learning in our classroom every day.","fullyFundedDate":1787584854997,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-beginnings-teacher-crea/10405675/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Beginnings: Teacher-Created Resources for Preschool Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McDaris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8831326_orig.jpg?crop=509,509,x10,y59&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1669761120288","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8831326"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1330","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":632,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":68.1,"schoolId":1330,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hudson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hudson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/caldwell-county-school-district/hudson-elementary-school/1330"}
