They love to grab a clipboard and work on the carpet. We use whiteboards daily to practice math and word study. They can quickly write, show me their thinking, erase and write again. It's great for me as a teacher to see their thinking and kids are engaged because everyone participates! Hooray!! \r\n\r\nMy students were so excited to open these resources. I shared how much you have donated to our classroom over time and they were in awe of your generosity and kindness...just like I am! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU again, for everything!

They go crazy for them! I am consistently amazed at their creativity and imaginations! The different structures and objects they build get better and more complex with each time they use the materials. Students run up to me every day, tell me they have Science today (or some other day that week) and that they can't wait to go!\r\n\r\nOne of the best benefits of these materials is the collaboration between students it inspires. I hear students tell each other, \"Let's build a ______ together!\" Kindergartners are just beginning to learn teamwork skills, sharing, and how to work together. It is a skill that they must learn by doing. I like to challenge them to build a structure together as a team.\r\n\r\nAnother benefit is they are learning persistence, to never give up. If they build a structure, and it falls or doesn't quite fit right, they are learning to notice what is wrong, rebuild it and try the procedure again. These are wonderful skills to learn as they grow older. Not to mention, this is also part of the engineering design process!\r\n\r\nI started this school year with barely any engineering supplies for my Kindergartners. Now, my classroom has been transformed into a creative, productive, energetic space!\r\n\r\nI am incredibly grateful for your generosity. My students couldn't be more happy for the opportunity you have helped provide for them!","fullyFundedDate":1714236562911,"projectUrl":"project/building-future-engineers/8325247/","projectTitle":"Building Future Engineers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McGoldrick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2490518_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1457834202646","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kerri-mcgoldrick"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3892","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":637,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":65,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.9,"schoolId":3892,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pioneer Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pioneer Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/new-haven-unified-school-district/pioneer-elementary-school/3892"}
