With your help, we now have privacy shields, handwriting bundles, dry erase markers, and engaging literacy card sets that are already making a difference in my students' daily learning. The privacy shields give each child their own focused space, helping them concentrate and feel successful. The handwriting bundle and little pencils are building fine motor skills and confidence as my kinders learn to write. The sight word and CVC cards have been a hit during small groups—students love tapping and tracking their words, and I've already seen them proudly reading sentences they once thought were \"too big.\"\r\n\r\nThe excitement was clear the moment we unpacked everything. Students immediately wanted to try the new markers, explore the cards, and open their handwriting books. These resources are making lessons more hands-on, interactive, and fun, while also supporting the foundations they need to become confident readers and writers.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and giving my students the tools to learn, grow, and shine. Your generosity is not only providing materials—it's creating meaningful learning experiences that my kinders will carry with them all year long.","fullyFundedDate":1684870950044,"projectUrl":"project/building-classroom-center-supplies/7272784/","projectTitle":"Building Classroom Center Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rosenbaum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3020592_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1620508041773","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3020592"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95711","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":755,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":61,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.6,"schoolId":95711,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Princeton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Princeton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/johnston-county-public-school-district/princeton-elementary-school/95711"}
