Because of you, our students enjoyed a special baby doll circle time experience that made a meaningful impact on their learning and development.\r\n\r\nDuring this time, students practiced nurturing behaviors by feeding, rocking, and talking to their baby dolls. This strengthened their social-emotional skills as they learned empathy, kindness, and responsibility. It was heartwarming to watch them care for their \"babies\" using gentle actions and kind words.\r\n\r\nThe experience also supported language development as students engaged in conversations, sang lullabies, and expressed their babies' needs. It encouraged imaginative play and cooperation as they worked together and shared materials.\r\n\r\nThank you for making a difference in our classroom and supporting the growth of our little learners!","fullyFundedDate":1769832367896,"projectUrl":"project/doll-time/9865945/","projectTitle":"Doll Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burkett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10335584"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15959","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":452,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":72.3,"schoolId":15959,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about W.S.
