Your kindness has truly transformed the way our students learn, explore, and express their ideas each day. \r\n\r\nWe are using the new whiteboards across all subject areas. During phonics lessons, students practice forming letters and writing simple words. In math, they solve addition problems, draw shapes, and show their thinking using pictures and numbers. The whiteboard panels have become interactive learning stations where students work together to brainstorm, practice sight words, and solve problems as a team.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their eyes lit up with excitement. They could not wait to use the colorful markers and write on the large panels. The enthusiasm was contagious, and learning instantly felt even more special.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given our students opportunities to practice, collaborate, and take academic risks in a fun and supportive way. Thank you for giving our kindergarteners the gift of interactive learning and for investing in their bright futures.","fullyFundedDate":1765914805742,"projectUrl":"project/write-wipe-repeat/9961194/","projectTitle":"Write, Wipe, Repeat!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gulli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6136508_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724685331310","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6136508"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22625","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":346,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":12,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.8,"schoolId":22625,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ocean Avenue Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ocean Avenue Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/northport-east-northport-ufsd/ocean-avenue-elementary-school/22625"}
