These engaging, age-appropriate resources brought real-world topics to life for our students, connecting what we learned in class to current events. Having access to these magazines transformed our reading lessons, helping students practice comprehension, vocabulary, and nonfiction text features in a fun and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nEach week, our students looked forward to exploring a new issue together. The colorful photos and interactive activities keep them engaged and eager to learn more. It truly fostered a love of reading and curiosity about the world around them.\r\n\r\nThanks to Donors Choose donors, we were able to make science and social studies come alive in a way that traditional textbooks simply cannot. We am so grateful for the donors' generosity—it not only enriched our students' learning this year but also helped build foundational reading and critical-thinking skills that will benefit them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1753410574345,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-see-the-world/9474573/","projectTitle":"Help My Students See the World!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Spencer and Ms. Rivera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4825215"},{"teacherId":1072667,"projectId":9192312,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation!

The new resources have truly made a difference in how my students learn and interact with each other. We recently completed a hands-on project where students worked in small groups to explore [insert topic, e.g., \"the water cycle\" or \"simple machines\"] using the new materials. Watching them collaborate, problem-solve, and present their findings with such confidence was incredibly rewarding. It's clear these tools are helping students deepen their understanding while also building critical thinking skills.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the room when the materials first arrived was unforgettable! My students' faces lit up as we unpacked each item — you could feel the energy shift. Many of them couldn't wait to dive in and start using the new tools, especially those who typically struggle with more traditional learning approaches. These resources have opened up new avenues for students to engage with the content in ways that feel meaningful and accessible to them.","fullyFundedDate":1684953084414,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-days/7292752/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Days!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rivera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3541053"},{"teacherId":1072667,"projectId":9068420,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation!

My project asked for Weighted Lap Pad, a sensory tool that offers deep calming pressure, increasing the ability to focus, and relieving anxiety. It gives kids with the wiggles a comforting sense of security and has a relaxing effect on the body and mind. Unfortunately, these lap pads were unavailable on the vendor list. So I did the next best thing: I ordered materials to have students MAKE their OWN mini lap pads! \r\n\r\nAs the yoga program in our school goes from K-5, I started out with a self-contained, bridge 3-5 Special Needs class. My students were so excited when I came in with the materials and about the project they were about to do. Cheers all around! My goal for using the Weighted Lap Pads and/or creating them was to give students a sense of relaxation, grounding, security, and be ability to self-soothe and regulate which are essential at school and home. \r\n\r\nThis project incorporated mindfulness wherein the students really focused on putting together their mini lap pads. It gave them ownership of their development of coping mechanisms for stress, grounding and focus. We may not have received the Weighted Lap Pads; however, making their own mini laps was a success!!!","fullyFundedDate":1733273551968,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-mindful/8636777/","projectTitle":"Cozy & Mindful","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Santiago","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1072667_orig.jpg?crop=861,861,x109,y149&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1671540272231","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1072667"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1062","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":521,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":18,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.5,"schoolId":1062,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 112 Dutch Kills on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 112 Dutch Kills","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-112-dutch-kills/1062"}
