The smiles on their faces were unbelievable!\r\n We also used the switches to run a leaf blower! We placed balls inside the leaf blower and when the children hit the switch the leaf blower engaged and \"threw\" the balls at the target.

They completely understood that this new equipment meant that they would all get to play together and that no one would need to have a helper for safety! They immediately wanted the soccer nets set up and the adaptations put on the front pf the wheelchairs so we could all get busy! \r\n They were also very excited to see the supplies for the net games. The General Education school we share a gym with played net games last year and we couldn't due to safety. They completely understood that this year would be different! That when the nets came out for that unit that we too could play! They can't wait for us to start that unit! \r\n Thank you again!

Your generosity has transformed the way our classroom functions each day.\r\n\r\nThe large bins have already made a huge impact. I now have organized spaces for homework sheets, skills practice pages, assessments, and all the important papers that used to clutter our counters. This has made it much easier to prep lessons, stay ahead on planning, and quickly find exactly what my students need. It has also helped our daily routines run more smoothly, everything has a clear home, and transitions are faster and calmer.\r\n\r\nThe smaller bins have been just as powerful. I've started using them to store hands-on learning materials like the dots for our ten frames at each table, dot stamps, and other math tools. Students can now access the materials they need without digging through mixed-up supplies. This independence has boosted their confidence and has kept our work time focused and productive.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom is no longer just cleaner, it's more functional, more accessible, and more supportive of the way young learners thrive. You've helped create a space where my students can think clearly, stay organized, and stay excited about learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my class and helping us build a learning environment that truly works for little minds with big potential!","fullyFundedDate":1764087365191,"projectUrl":"project/organized-spaces-for-organized-little-mi/9922567/","projectTitle":"Organized Spaces for Organized Little Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chauca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9090581_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1688424494824","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9090581"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103739","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":70.7,"schoolId":103739,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 256Q @ PS 253Q on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 256Q @ PS 253Q","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/district-75-city-wide-programs/ps-256q-public-school-253q/103739"}
