The wobble stools and wobble feet have made an incredible impact on our scholars.

It has been amazing to see how these tools empower scholars to take ownership of their learning space and remain energized throughout the day.\r\n\r\nWe are also so grateful for the recess balls and equipment bag. They have brought new excitement to our recess time and helped encourage teamwork, physical activity, and positive social interactions. Our scholars look forward to using them every day!\r\n\r\nYour kindness and support are truly appreciated.

Generation Genius bridges that gap, allowing my students to witness real-world demonstrations and foster a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. \r\n Beyond the experiments, we've also embraced the opportunity to engage with Kahoot! games that reinforce and review the lessons in an interactive way. These games transform review sessions into friendly competitions that make learning feel like a fun adventure rather than just another day in the classroom.\r\n Thanks to you, my students are not only learning science—they are loving science.","fullyFundedDate":1731525244964,"projectUrl":"project/generation-geniuses/8869100/","projectTitle":"Generation Geniuses","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Basile","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2002956_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1570850786657","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stephaniebasile"},{"teacherId":9863560,"projectId":8989936,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, our classroom has been transformed by the addition of a 3D printer! My students have been eagerly exploring how 3D printers work and discovering the many ways this technology is being used to solve real-world problems—from medical advancements to engineering innovations. With hands-on experience in Tinkercad, they've been learning to design and create their own projects, bringing their ideas to life in ways that were never before possible. \r\n\r\nThe excitement in our classroom has been incredible. Students have printed game pieces to enhance their student-created board games, deepening their creativity and problem-solving skills. Our robotics projects have also benefited, as students have 3D-printed accessories to enhance their designs and improve functionality. This experience has sparked curiosity, collaboration, and a passion for innovation, and it's all thanks to your generosity. Your donation has not only provided a valuable learning tool but has truly energized my students, making them eager to explore, create, and think like engineers.

The kids absolutely love having the chance to use the variety of materials we've got, whether it's balls for games or jump ropes for physical activity. The outdoor space has really opened up new possibilities for play and learning, and it's been a great way to engage the students in more active, hands-on experiences during break time.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new supplies, their excitement was through the roof. They were thrilled by the variety of options, and it immediately sparked their interest in trying out different activities. From competitive games with balls to fun challenges with the jump ropes, their enthusiasm has been contagious. It's been such a rewarding experience to watch them dive into these activities and make the most out of the new materials.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the next steps for my students involve continuing to build on their outdoor sportsmanship and teamwork. We're focusing on developing better relationships with each other through group activities, and I'm excited to see how they grow in their ability to collaborate, communicate, and support one another while playing. It's not just about physical activity, it's about learning important social skills that they can carry into all areas of life.","fullyFundedDate":1731915067026,"projectUrl":"project/room-supplies/8923207/","projectTitle":"Room Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stump","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8439686_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698000345540","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8439686"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20019","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1365,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":16,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"26.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.1,"schoolId":20019,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kitley Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kitley Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/franklin-township-community-school-corporation/kitley-intermediate-school/20019"}
