Your generous donation allowed us to give our students an outdoor learning area sheltered by a canopy from the elements such as intense heat, wind, and rain. In this outdoor learning area students explore and do hands-on projects. At this stage of development, our little learners thrive outside and with opportunities to get messy. These hands-on activities include handling paint, slime, water and sand. In the last few weeks we have had water play and even a mud kitchen.

Under our canopy we can enjoy the fresh air and get messy! \r\n\r\nThe snow cone machine brought to life our unit on arctic animals and winter weather.

Because of your kindness, our classroom is now buzzing with new ways to count, build, and explore.\r\n\r\nYour donations provided an incredible variety of hands-on tools that make \"big\" math concepts feel like play:\r\n\r\nMagnetic Tiles are bringing 3D engineering to life as students build towers and structures.The Dice & Dominoes have been helpful in teaching turn-taking while playing games and recognizing number patterns instantly.\r\n\r\nThe 10-Frame Subitizing Dominoes is helping students \"see\" numbers inside a ten-frame, which is a foundational skill for addition. The apple Tree Counting game has proven to be a fun way to practice one-to-one correspondence and fine motor skills. While the building shapes activities have allowed our little artists to create pictures out of geometric shapes.\r\n\r\nThank you for your generous donation and for helping me to make my ideas a reality.\r\nWe are going to have so much fun putting these to work this year and for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1768868866601,"projectUrl":"project/math-games-and-stemoh-my-learning-th/9808649/","projectTitle":"Math, Games, and STEM—Oh My!

Because of you, our kindergarten students have been learning, practicing, and growing every single day with tools that make a meaningful difference in their academic confidence and skills.\r\n\r\nThe **Learning Without Tears \"Show Me\" magnetic pieces** have quickly become a favorite during our literacy block. Students use the magnetic curves and lines to build capital letters, practice proper formation, and explore letter structure in an engaging, hands-on way. This multisensory approach has helped even our most hesitant writers feel successful as they construct letters on their own.\r\n\r\nOur new Math Calendar Classroom Pocket Chart has transformed our daily math routine. Each morning during calendar time, students eagerly take part in counting the days of school, building numbers, exploring patterns, and discussing weather and time concepts. The visual organization and large pockets make it accessible for all learners, especially those who benefit from clear structure and routine.\r\n\r\nThe All About the Letter Pocket Chart has become an essential part of our morning meeting. Each day, we highlight one letter, its sound, vocabulary words, and matching pictures. Students love participating in the activity, and the chart supports strong foundational literacy skills as students make meaningful connections between letters and sounds.\r\n\r\nWe also use the Giant Magnetic Draw-and-Write page on our whiteboard daily. It allows me to model writing, spelling, and drawing during lessons, while providing students with a large, clear visual example to follow. Whether we are practicing sight words, labeling pictures, or writing sentences together, this tool makes our shared writing time interactive and fun.\r\n\r\nLastly, the resin presentation pointer fingers have truly empowered our young readers. Students use them to track words, point to letters, and follow along during shared reading. These simple tools have built confidence, independence, and excitement for early reading.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has enriched our classroom in ways that will continue to benefit students all year long and for years to come. Thank you for believing in our youngest learners and providing the tools that help them succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1757382229105,"projectUrl":"project/circle-time-tools-for-curious-kindergart/9408090/","projectTitle":"Circle Time Tools for Curious Kindergarten Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Anaya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3079485_orig.jpg?crop=750,750,x0,y372&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1621535183007","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsanaya2018"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36064","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":463,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":39,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"24.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":74.3,"schoolId":36064,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jefferson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jefferson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/carlsbad-unified-school-district/jefferson-elementary-school/36064"}
