The supplies you provided—dish soap, sponges, cleaning wipes, glue sticks, crayons, Expo markers, and a wide variety of craft items—have already made a meaningful difference in our students' daily learning experience. We've incorporated these materials into several projects, most notably in our child development unit, where students create hands-on activities and mock lesson plans for preschool-aged children. Recently, students used the craft materials to design sensory boards and homemade storybooks to simulate early childhood learning tools, giving them practical insight into developmental milestones.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the classroom was immediate when the students first saw the new supplies. Many commented that it felt like opening a treasure chest of creativity. It was a powerful reminder of how much even simple materials can ignite enthusiasm and foster a deeper connection to learning. Students were eager to begin projects they had only been able to plan on paper before. Now, they can bring their ideas to life and reflect more meaningfully on the development of young children through active creation and role-play.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue working in small teams to develop themed learning kits for early childhood education, which they will present and explain as if teaching a group of young learners. These experiences are not only enriching their academic understanding but also building confidence, collaboration, and leadership skills. Your donation made all of this possible, and we are so thankful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1746785983247,"projectUrl":"project/culinary-fashion-child-development/9278233/","projectTitle":"Culinary, Fashion, Child Development","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9814426"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35628","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1202,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":80,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"26.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":35628,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hesperia Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hesperia Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/hesperia-unified-school-district/hesperia-junior-high-school/35628"}
