My students' faces lit up with joy and curiosity as they unpacked everything, eager to dive into learning. One moment that truly stood out was when we began using the magnets and interlocking blocks during stem time. During our morning meetings, students have time to do stem activities, so those were a hit! \r\n\r\nAs we continue to implement more stem activities, I'm excited to see how their curiosity and skills develop even further.\r\n\r\nThank you for your kindness and support. You have given my students opportunities to thrive, and for that, we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1733170093844,"projectUrl":"project/stem-all-around-the-world/8706071/","projectTitle":"STEM All Around The World","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Benford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9708212"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_127642","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":566,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":28,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":127642,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carpenter Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carpenter Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/pflugerville-independent-school-district/jessica-carpenter-elementary-school/127642"}
