Because of you, my students now have access to exciting new resources that have already made a huge impact in our classroom.\r\n\r\nAs soon as the materials arrived, the students' faces lit up with excitement! One student exclaimed, \"It feels like Christmas came to our classroom!\" They couldn't wait to explore everything, and their enthusiasm hasn't slowed down since.\r\n\r\nWe recently used the new resources for a hands-on project where students worked in small groups to create interactive presentations on ecosystems. With access to updated science kits and visual aids, they were able to observe real-world examples, conduct experiments, and present their findings using the tools you helped provide. It was incredible to see them so engaged and proud of their work.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're diving into a unit on environmental conservation. The students will be using the materials to design their own sustainability campaigns, combining science, writing, and creativity. These resources are allowing them to think critically and act like real scientists and advocates — something that wouldn't have been possible without your support.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools and confidence to dream big and dive deep into their learning. Your kindness truly made a difference!","fullyFundedDate":1758899110376,"projectUrl":"project/coloring-our-world-one-child-at-a-time/9506255/","projectTitle":"Coloring Our World, One Child at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Trovato","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10096868"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_712","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":492,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":24,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":39,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":712,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 153 Homecrest on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 153 Homecrest","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-153-homecrest/712"}
