Many of them had never seen a model like this before, and they were amazed to discover that we all have organs inside our bodies—like the liver, lungs, and heart. Some even said, \"¡Yo tengo eso dentro de mí!\" It was a powerful learning moment that sparked questions and conversations right away. They couldn't wait to take turns exploring the parts and naming them with big smiles on their faces.\r\n\r\nWe'll soon be diving into our human body unit, and thanks to your generous support, my students will be able to learn through hands-on experiences, not just pictures in a book. This model will help them visualize, touch, and truly understand how their bodies work. It will make learning science real and memorable. Your donation didn't just bring a resource—it brought wonder, discovery, and joy to our classroom.

They also enjoy the \"Centro de tiempo circular\" where they can practice counting, speaking, and reading in Spanish. \r\n\r\nWe are a dual language school and my students get to learn Spanish in my classroom. I have two groups; a total of 38 students. When we received the journals, I wrote their names on them and handed them out. The class was filled with joy. They were proud to have their very own writing journals. Every day they get the opportunity to write. They write about animals, celebrations, and experiences. They also get to illustrate their writing. They are not only becoming authors, but they are also illustrators. Keeping all their writing in one notebook becomes a portfolio where they can see their growth overtime. Thank you for providing my classes with this incredible opportunity. Your donation is making a difference in the lives of our future writers.","fullyFundedDate":1726944284810,"projectUrl":"project/first-grade-authors/8797339/","projectTitle":"First Grade Authors","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Flores","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9370086"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_131007","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":80,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":66,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":40.9,"schoolId":131007,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Strong Start Academy Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Strong Start Academy Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/nevada-department-of-education/strong-start-academy/131007"}
