Your donations have made a remarkable impact on my PreK students with different abilities by giving them hands-on tools that encourage curiosity, creativity, and social-emotional growth.\r\n My little learners have been joyfully engaged with the Lakeshore Creature Builders, magnet robots, and monster magnet stacking toys. These materials allow them to build, create, and explore while strengthening fine motor skills, problem-solving, and imagination. The excitement on their faces as they stack, connect, and design is priceless!\r\n The Emotion Coin Drop has also been such a meaningful addition to our classroom. It has provided my students with a fun and interactive way to identify, express, and talk about their feelings. This is especially important for my students, as it helps them build confidence and social-emotional understanding in a playful, accessible way.\r\n I am deeply grateful that with your support, I can provide my students with the tools they need to learn in ways that are fun, engaging, and meaningful. Thank you for helping me create an inclusive and inspiring learning environment where every one of my students can be successful.","fullyFundedDate":1748566404625,"projectUrl":"project/little-builders-big-imaginations/9284439/","projectTitle":"Little Builders, Big Imaginations","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Candy Contreras","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7460691_orig.jpg?crop=1832,1832,x617,y329&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1598572222117","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-candy-contreras"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7473","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":113,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":93,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.9,"schoolId":7473,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Amanecer Primary Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Amanecer Primary Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/amanecer-primary-center/7473"}
