This month my team and I wanted to do an apple theme and with the gift card I have been so fortunate to but the apple themed projects for us to use.\r\n Having this is so amazing because the projects I have been buying help my students show their creativity and uniqueness through completing the assignments. It has been so joyful getting to see them express themselves differently with the way they complete a craft or have a thought on an assignment!\r\n I have lots of students who are now a lot more engaged with the new things I have purchased. Like in centers I bought an alphabet apple game and they have taken a huge liking to that more than the past center they had.\r\n Thank you again for your generosity, I appreciate it so much and I know my students do as well!","fullyFundedDate":1746785821634,"projectUrl":"project/fresh-ideas-are-fun-and-helpful/9216783/","projectTitle":"Fresh ideas are Fun and Helpful","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9240278_orig.jpg?crop=742,742,x191,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693408569690","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9240278"},{"teacherId":9240278,"projectId":8868430,"letterContent":"The donations have made such a positive difference in my classroom. It was such a struggle to go without these items, specifically the rug. The rug has impacted us greatly during whole group learning by helping the kiddos have a specific space to sit that they know is THEIRS. It has helped them sit more comfortably and sit and pay attention longer. \r\n\r\nI put the rug and containers out after a long weekend so they walked into the classroom and all I heard was \"ooo\", \"ahh\", and \"oh my gosh!\" They were in absolute awe of how they could easily grab materials in the bins and by the \"pretty colorful\" rug that \"made my room look better.\" They absolutely love it and even tell each other to take care of the \"cool new things the nice people helped us buy.\"\r\n\r\nWe are very busy in kindergarten right now and we have lots of exciting things coming. Last week we used the rug to host a \"reading party\" and that was so fun. This week we are learning about the sun, moon, and stars so they are making their own fact posters and get to use the tacky putty to hand them up!","fullyFundedDate":1734099480879,"projectUrl":"project/a-cozy-and-organized-environment-helps-k/8868430/","projectTitle":"A Cozy and Organized Environment Helps Kindergarteners Feel Safe","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9240278_orig.jpg?crop=742,742,x191,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693408569690","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9240278"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_24768","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":599,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":65,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.5,"schoolId":24768,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Willow Bend Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Willow Bend Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/frenship-independent-school-district/willow-bend-elementary/24768"}
