My students were incredibly excited when they first saw the new materials. Their faces lit up with joy, and they could not wait to explore and begin using them. Your thoughtful donation has brought excitement and new learning opportunities into our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are already putting these wonderful resources to good use! The board games have become a favorite during our Fun Fridays and are also available for students who finish their assignments early. These games provide students with opportunities to practice teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and good sportsmanship while having fun with their classmates.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic base-ten blocks and magnetic number chart have also become valuable tools in our daily math lessons. We use them regularly during our \"Number of the Day\" activities, where students practice representing numbers, identifying place value, and strengthening their number sense. These hands-on materials are especially helpful for my students who benefit from visual learning and additional support with math concepts.\r\n\r\nAlthough we have not yet introduced the magnetic fraction materials, we are looking forward to using them next quarter when we begin our unit on fractions. Students will have the opportunity to explore fractions through hands-on activities, compare fractional parts, and develop a deeper understanding of how fractions represent parts of a whole.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students have access to engaging materials that make learning more interactive, meaningful, and enjoyable. Your support is helping me create a classroom where students feel excited to learn, explore new concepts, and build confidence in their abilities.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for investing in my students and their education. Your kindness is truly making a difference in our classroom, and we are so grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1790603767596,"projectUrl":"project/third-grade-starts-here-resources-for-s/10329719/","projectTitle":"Third Grade Starts Here: Resources for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Abreo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1727175_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1781055223544","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-abreo"},{"teacherId":8697670,"projectId":10292992,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and support for our classroom! The new resources have made a profound, immediate impact on our second graders.\r\n\r\nFirst Reactions\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their eyes lit up with pure excitement. They were so eager to try out the new tools and see what this special new corner of our classroom was all about!\r\n\r\nHow We Are Using the New Resources\r\nDuring the first two weeks of school, we practiced how to use the calming corner and its emotional regulation tools. Today, it is amazing to watch the students utilize these resources independently whenever they feel overwhelmed, sad, or frustrated.\r\nThe calming corner has supported students facing vulnerable times, such as navigating grief or missing a parent. It has also helped tremendously with daily academic frustration. Recently, a student grew deeply frustrated while practicing her math facts. Recognizing she needed a reset, she visited the calming corner to recharge, then returned ready to learn. She walked straight over to a small group practicing addition facts with flashcards and successfully jumped right back into her learning with a positive mindset!\r\n\r\nWhat's Next\r\nAs we dive deeper into a challenging curriculum, our goal is to help students carry these tools beyond our calming corner and into every part of their lives. Students will practice using these self-regulation strategies during peer collaborations, learning how to work through social conflicts and group frustrations with empathy and patience. They will also take greater ownership of their learning by setting personal goals during independent work. Ultimately, we are empowering them with life-long coping skills that will help them navigate challenges both inside the classroom and out in the world.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving our students the space and tools they need to thrive both emotionally and academically!","fullyFundedDate":1779914940274,"projectUrl":"project/calm-hearts-focused-minds-a-2nd-grade/10292992/","projectTitle":"Calm Hearts, Focused Minds: a 2nd Grade Calming Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fallas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8697670_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663210193326","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8697670"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50020","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":388,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.2,"schoolId":50020,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sunridge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sunridge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/fowler-elementary-school-district/sunridge-elementary-school/50020"}
