This was a nice touch to the classroom and their education.\r\nThe Lab Aids soil kit was a great activity to implement for showing students the different soil textures. This along with the soil horizons diagram gave them a better perspective on the topic. Comparing the differences and similarities allows the students to connect the needs and requirements needed for different plants in these soil types and depths.\r\nThis spring, students will connect their knowledge from this lab and lesson to the soil they use and see everyday. We will also plant seeds to compare the nutrients needed as well.","fullyFundedDate":1727102418772,"projectUrl":"project/whats-up-with-dirt/8802759/","projectTitle":"What's Up with Dirt?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bruner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9702096_orig.jpg?crop=1616,1616,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726714616025","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9702096"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78637","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":40,"numTeachers":7,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":26,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"5.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":40.0,"schoolId":78637,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Valier Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Valier Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/valier-school-district-18/valier-elementary-school/78637"}
