Students are using the new resources every day during center time, and it has quickly become one of the most anticipated parts of our schedule. They absolutely love hands-on learning, and these materials allow them to explore concepts in meaningful, interactive ways. Whether they are building, creating, experimenting, or collaborating with classmates, they are actively involved in their learning. When the materials first arrived, the excitement was contagious—students' faces lit up with joy and curiosity as they eagerly asked when they could start using them!\r\n\r\nBecause of you, learning feels fresh and inspiring. These resources have enhanced our current lessons by giving students new ways to practice skills and deepen their understanding. Instead of simply hearing about concepts, they are experiencing them. The next steps in our classroom include using these materials to extend our ongoing projects, encouraging even more critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork. Your contribution has given our students opportunities to explore, question, and grow in ways that will have a lasting impact. Thank you for giving them tools that make learning both meaningful and fun! I also have an addition project live to get big books for center time, any support would be appreciative.","fullyFundedDate":1767238280774,"projectUrl":"project/kinders-need-stem-learning/9695300/","projectTitle":"Kinders: Need STEM Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Fox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8180994"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_121162","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":292,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":39,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":71.8,"schoolId":121162,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Paterson Charter School K-1 Science & Technical on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Paterson Charter School K-1 Science & Technical","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/new-jersey-department-of-education/paterson-charter-school-for-science-tech-k-1/121162"}
