Your donation to fund Scholastic News and Science Spin has brought vibrant, real-world learning directly to our classroom, and the impact is already visible every day. Lately, our students have been diving deep into what it means to have strong work habits and how to be an active part of a community. These magazines have been the perfect tool to bring those big concepts down to a first-grade level. Here is exactly how your gift is making a difference: Building Accountability: Through stories of real people and animals, students are learning about responsibility. They are connecting these lessons to their own work habits—like staying focused, trying their best, and taking pride in their classroom jobs. Understanding Community: The issues have helped us discuss what makes a community strong. Our students are discovering how different helpers contribute to society, which has sparked wonderful conversations about how they can be kind, helpful citizens right here at school. Sparking Curiosity: Science Spin has introduced them to hands-on science concepts that keep them incredibly engaged. They aren't just reading; they are observing, predicting, and thinking like scientists. Seeing their faces light up when a new issue arrives is a constant reminder of how meaningful your support is. You haven't just given them reading material; you have given them a window into the world and the tools to grow into thoughtful, hardworking individuals. Thank you for investing in our classroom and our community's future.","fullyFundedDate":1776107919401,"projectUrl":"project/small-towns-big-worlds-sparking-wonder/10174876/","projectTitle":"Small Towns, Big Worlds: Sparking Wonder in First Grade!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mueller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3975305_orig.jpg?crop=977,977,x886,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1711657327850","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3975305"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36798","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":87,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":86,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":64.1,"schoolId":36798,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tekoa Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tekoa Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/tekoa-school-district-265/tekoa-elementary-school/36798"}
