I allow the students to use the magnets during center time every day. They really enjoy building different things with them. Their favorite things to build with them are buildings and cars. When the package came in, my students weren't sure what it was, but once I showed them that it was magnets for them to play with, they became really excited and couldn't wait to start playing with them.\r\nI currently have three projects posted on DonorsChoose right now. The first one is for a variety of Bingo games. It can be hard for a child to learn new vocabulary. That is the reason why I am requesting these Bingo games. These games will help my students learn new vocabulary in a fun and hands-on way. The next project is for some bean bags. These beanbags have numbers, colors, shapes, alphabet, and phonics. They will help my students learn important skills as well. The third one is for some reading books. I want to get my students excited about reading at an early age to help prepare them for kindergarten. Thanks again for all of your help.","fullyFundedDate":1739985259029,"projectUrl":"project/magnet-mania-in-pre-k/8890225/","projectTitle":"Magnet Mania in Pre-K!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baggett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9013987"},{"teacherId":9013987,"projectId":8902581,"letterContent":"We have center time every day and one of the centers that we have is a reading center. My students use all of these activities while they are in the reading center. With these activities, they are able to learn different words and how the words sound a whole lot easier. They really enjoy doing these activities. They have so much fun with them, they don't even realize that they are learning at the same time.\r\n\r\nThey were curious to see what was inside the boxes when they came in, and after I opened them and showed my students what was inside, they became very excited to see all of the activities. Right now I am in the process of working on a project to receive Dr. Seuss books for our classroom. When we have Dr. Seuss' birthday week, I will be able to read different Dr. Seuss books to my students. These books will help them with letter recognition, letter sounds, and so much more. Thank you again for everything that you did for us. We really appreciate it.","fullyFundedDate":1735697720094,"projectUrl":"project/word-building-in-progress/8902581/","projectTitle":"Word Building In Progress!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baggett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9013987"},{"teacherId":9013987,"projectId":8413947,"letterContent":"My students absolutely love all of these blocks. They use them every day during center time. I try to swap them around every day so that each group of students has a chance to play with each set of blocks. They were really excited when the block sets came in. They couldn't wait for me to open the boxes when the office receptionist brought them to our classroom.\r\n\r\nRight now, we have projects posted and that are live for some magnetic blocks and for some life skills activities. My students need the magnetic blocks to help them with color and shape recognition and most importantly fine motor skills. Help them build up strength in their little hands. The life skills activities are to go in our dramatic play area. It's for a pretend washer and dryer and pretend cleaning supplies. I want them to be able to learn how to clean house just like their parents do. My students are the best and they deserve to have the best in order to receive a great education.","fullyFundedDate":1726579925567,"projectUrl":"project/little-hands-at-work/8413947/","projectTitle":"Little Hands at Work!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baggett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9013987"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12024","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":421,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":31,"percentWhite":58,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":12024,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brewton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brewton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/brewton-city-school-district/brewton-elementary-school/12024"}
