At my Meet the Teacher at the start of the year, the students walked in and gravitated towards that area of the classroom. It helped them feel comfortable and excited to enter a new place. The parents, too, were impressed to see such a fun and beautiful playhouse for their kids to play with daily. \r\nIt is because of all of you, that my students have a fun learning experience each day. We use the playhouse during our Learning Centers daily. The students rotate to this learning center that way we only have six students at a time in the playhouse so that it doesn't get too crowded with a lot of 4 year olds :) The students are able to use their imagination each time they enter the playhouse. The doorbell rings, the door opens and closes, and there is a play phone and kitchen inside. Currently, we have Halloween costumes near the house along with pumpkin pails for \"Trick or Treating.\" \r\nThe students are learning how to take turns when it comes to entering and leaving the house and are working through problems when they arise. This is helping their social skills develop. Thank you for investing in these young students! They are thankful and I am forever grateful for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1753224697068,"projectUrl":"project/tk-playhouse-funnnnd/9442642/","projectTitle":"TK Playhouse Funnnnd","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7300606_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y182&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1593994768116","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7300606"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98205","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":946,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":58,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"24.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.4,"schoolId":98205,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vandermolen Fund Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vandermolen Fund Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/corona-norco-unified-school-district/vandermolen-fund-elementary-school/98205"}
