When the materials first arrived, the students' faces absolutely lit up. They were so excited to explore everything, and several of them immediately started sharing ideas about what they wanted to create or try first. It truly felt like opening the door to a whole new level of engagement.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this project on my students' learning has been tremendous. The hands-on materials have helped my young learners make meaningful connections by allowing them to see, touch, and experiment with the concepts we're exploring. Their confidence has grown as they use the materials to problem-solve, create, and explain their thinking in new ways.\r\n\r\nBecause of these resources, I've been able to elevate my instruction with more engaging, interactive lessons. The materials have made it possible to introduce early STEM challenges, deepen math understanding, and spark richer conversations during literacy and play-based learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for bringing so much joy and curiosity into our classroom. Your generosity has made such a meaningful impact!","fullyFundedDate":1763055010594,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-in-kindergarten/9666356/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning in Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gionet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10233776"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56693","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":572,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":26,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.9,"schoolId":56693,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northern Lights ABC School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northern Lights ABC School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/anchorage-school-district/northern-lights-abc-school/56693"}
