The sensory path and recording buttons are are big hit. Students love all the new opportunities they have to get their wiggles out.\r\n\r\nThe glitter and Mod Podge helped us to create some amazing art already and we look forward to doing more. I know that opportunities for art not only inspire creativity, but also build self-esteem and these projects using the supplies you put in their hands are having a huge impact.\r\n\r\nI really can't thank you enough for supporting my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758809381184,"projectUrl":"project/lets-put-the-fun-back-into-fundamentals/9709494/","projectTitle":"Let's Put the Fun Back Into Fundamentals!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nitta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2464888_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1463710461525","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nitta"},{"teacherId":2455705,"projectId":9499508,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has truly been transformed! The new flexible seating options — including our standing desk, folding chairs, and surf board-style lap desks — have created a more dynamic, comfortable, and student-centered learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe excitement began the moment the first boxes arrived. Each delivery turned into a mini celebration — students' eyes lit up as they asked, \"Is this for flex seating? Are we starting?! Do I get to sit in a new spot?\" On one particularly memorable day, several students even ran after me down the hall as I pushed a cart carrying our new table, eager to help move the classroom desks out of the way and set it up. Their enthusiasm and anticipation made every step of the project even more meaningful.\r\n\r\nNow that everything is in place, students have the freedom to choose where and how they learn best. Some stand proudly at the new desk to stay focused and energized during lessons, while others grab a folding chair or lap desk to collaborate with friends during group projects. The surf board storage rack keeps everything organized and easily accessible, making transitions between activities smooth and stress-free.\r\n\r\nAs we get used to the new tools and space, we are still making adjustments — learning what works best for different students and different activities. It's been a wonderful process of discovery and reflection, as students learn to take responsibility for their choices and how their environment impacts their learning.\r\n\r\nIt's amazing to see how such simple additions have made such a big difference. Our classroom feels more inclusive, welcoming, and full of movement — exactly the kind of environment that encourages creativity and focus.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping our class \"Take a Seat, Make a Difference.\" You've given my students the opportunity to learn in ways that fit their individual needs — and that's a gift that will continue to impact them every day.","fullyFundedDate":1755962121485,"projectUrl":"project/take-a-seat-make-a-difference/9499508/","projectTitle":"Take a Seat, Make a Difference","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Crawford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2455705_orig.jpg?crop=2000,2000,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755066696608","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/katie-crawfords-class"},{"teacherId":2639476,"projectId":9217428,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the lovely and high quality art supplies. It will give us enough supplies for quite awhile to enjoy watercolor painting without having to worry which kid was able to bring which supply.\r\n\r\nIt is so much fun painting with Crayola paints rather than using the cheapest we can find to stretch our classroom supply budget! It is also a joy to use actual watercolor paper as using white copy paper just falls apart, and doesn't make as nice a picture. \r\n\r\nThe kids and I greatly appreciate your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1743480660706,"projectUrl":"project/art-exploration-with-watercolor-paints/9217428/","projectTitle":"Art exploration with watercolor paints!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Buettner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2639476"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_55782","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":725,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.6,"schoolId":55782,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Antelope Meadows Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Antelope Meadows Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/dry-creek-joint-elementary-school-district/antelope-meadows-elementary-school/55782"}
