Your support has provided our students with an exciting opportunity to learn, create, collaborate, and explore in ways that go beyond traditional classroom instruction.\r\n\r\nWhen our students first saw the LEGO materials, their excitement was contagious! They were eager to explore the different pieces, share their ideas, and begin building. What may seem like simple building blocks to some has become a powerful tool for creativity, problem-solving, and meaningful learning experiences for our students.\r\n\r\nOur LEGO Zone is designed to give students opportunities to strengthen their critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and social-emotional skills through hands-on activities. Students are using the materials to work together on building challenges, practice following multi-step directions, and explore different ways to solve problems. One of the most rewarding parts of this experience is watching students communicate their ideas, learn to compromise, and demonstrate patience when their designs do not work the first time. These moments teach perseverance and resilience while allowing students to experience the joy of learning.\r\n\r\nFor many of our students, especially those who benefit from visual and tactile learning experiences, the LEGO Zone provides a space where they can demonstrate their strengths, build confidence, and experience success in new ways. It reminds them that learning can look different for everyone and that creativity and determination are just as important as getting the right answer.\r\n\r\nAs we continue developing our LEGO Zone, students will participate in increasingly challenging building activities that connect to academic concepts, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving. We look forward to seeing them take greater ownership of their learning, become more confident in expressing their ideas, and transfer these skills into their everyday classroom experiences.\r\n\r\nYour donation has given our students more than LEGO materials. You have helped create a space where they can feel successful, take risks, learn from mistakes, and celebrate their accomplishments.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in opportunities that allow them to build not only amazing creations, but also brighter futures. We are truly grateful for your support!\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation, The Students and Staff of I.S. 211 John Wilson Intermediate School","fullyFundedDate":1780753422088,"projectUrl":"project/lego-zone/10314961/","projectTitle":"LEGO Zone","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fray","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10162980_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755558959650","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10162980"},{"teacherId":10311273,"projectId":9826464,"letterContent":"I am beyond grateful for your generous support in providing the Orton-Gillingham reading materials for my classroom. My students actively use these materials during our small-group literacy sessions in our Lunch and Learn program. My students with dyslexia are now receiving structured, research-based instruction that meets their individual learning needs. These materials have empowered them to approach reading with greater confidence and determination. Watching their growth and excitement as they strengthen their literacy skills has been truly heartwarming.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the social-emotional anchor charts have made a difference in helping students better identify how they are feeling at different moments throughout the day. They now have daily visual reminders that encourage positive self-talk, perseverance, value and self-belief.\r\n\r\nThe positive behavior bucket has also become a favorite classroom routine. Students eagerly anticipate hearing their names called, which has increased participation, engagement, and excitement about learning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has been an incredible asset to our classroom. The impact of your kindness extends far beyond the materials you provided. I now remind my students that their education is so valued that others are willing to invest in it. I will always appreciate the opportunity you have provided and the lasting difference you have made in their educational journey.","fullyFundedDate":1763134716075,"projectUrl":"project/educated-to-read-and-feeling-good-to-suc/9826464/","projectTitle":"Educated to Read and Feeling Good to Succeed","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10311273"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_642","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":176,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":73,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"5.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":36.4,"schoolId":642,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Intermediate School 211 John Wilson on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Intermediate School 211 John Wilson","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/is-211-john-wilson/642"}
