Your thoughtful support has provided our students with high-quality, developmentally appropriate books that will be enjoyed daily in our classrooms. These materials will make a meaningful difference by ensuring our youngest learners have access to engaging books designed especially for their early learning needs.\r\nLiteracy skills begin developing at a very young age, and board books play an essential role in this process. As young children look at, touch, and explore board books, they build foundational skills such as vocabulary development, print awareness, visual attention, and early comprehension. For children with special needs, the durability, simple text, and rich illustrations of board books support repeated interaction, language growth, and a positive relationship with reading. We are deeply grateful for your commitment to early literacy and for helping our children build a strong foundation for future learning.","fullyFundedDate":1759443254379,"projectUrl":"project/lets-read-together/9775793/","projectTitle":"Let's Read Together!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Terri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9470201"},{"teacherId":6754814,"projectId":9728496,"letterContent":"The items that were purchased through the grant have greatly enhanced our Fully Self Contained classroom. The weighted vest has helped a student with anxiety and lessened their shoulder tics. The art items have allowed a student with high disabilities to learn skills like following directions, and colors in a fun way. The board games that were purchased allow our small group of students to practice social skills, following directions and other skills that are necessary to function outside of the school setting. Working on these skills also helps them to be integrated with students outside of the Full Self Contained classroom. \r\n\r\nWe have yet to use all the items purchased but will plan to do so on the coming months.

I also finally had the chance to set up our new bulletin board, which gave the classroom a fresh, aesthetic look. Now students have a special space to display work they're proud of, and they're so excited to see their projects showcased! We've also been putting our new supplies to great use—especially the pencil sharpeners, Expo pens, and all the other materials our classroom desperately needed. One specific project we just wrapped up was our PBL on biomimicry. The kids were so stoked to hang up their work and share what they created with the whole class. It's been an awesome upgrade to both our environment and our learning!\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw all the materials, they were super grateful and excited that we get to have all those things. Their faces lit up immediately. \r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom is not only more functional but also more inspiring for our students. Now that we've wrapped up our biomimicry PBL project, our next step is to dive deeper into how living things adapt to their environments. Students will be exploring real-world animal and plant adaptations and working in teams to design their own \"creature\" that could survive in a specific habitat. They'll apply what they've learned in science, use our new supplies to bring their ideas to life, and then present their creations to the class. We're excited to keep the momentum going with more hands-on, creative learning!","fullyFundedDate":1741740317203,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/9154695/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lucas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9368689_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x672,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1703645852235","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9368689"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50807","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":356,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":21,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.7,"schoolId":50807,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Palisades Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Palisades Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/hawaii/leeward-oahu-school-district/palisades-elementary-school/50807"}
