The resources you provided have made an immediate and meaningful impact on my kindergarten students.\r\nWe began using the new materials right away, and the excitement was unforgettable. When the students first saw everything, their faces lit up—many gasped, cheered, and eagerly asked, \"Is this for us?!\" It was such a joyful moment that truly showed how much these resources mean to them.\r\n\r\nOne of the best ways to run an effective classroom is to ensure there are rules and expectations put in place as well as having an organized classroom that can run smoothly. The purchase of the black magazine bins did this for our classroom! Each student has their own in which they are able to keep all of their materials they need each day. \r\n\r\nThese resources are now part of our daily centers, small-group lessons, and intervention groups. They allow students to explore concepts in ways that are developmentally appropriate and joyful. For my English learners and students who need extra support, the hands-on tools have been especially powerful.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students. Your generosity has brought excitement, opportunity, and a sense of pride into our classroom. You've made a lasting difference, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1760020640794,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-glow-up/9457052/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Glow Up","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reinoehl","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9930989_orig.jpg?crop=827,827,x0,y229&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740496043412","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9930989"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_90980","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":726,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":63,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":78.9,"schoolId":90980,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Shenandoah Valley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Shenandoah Valley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/shenandoah-valley-school-district/shenandoah-valley-elementary-school/90980"}
