Thanks to your support, my students now have access to brand-new whiteboard markers and headphones. In a classroom where resources can sometimes be limited, seeing the excitement on my students' faces when these packages arrived was truly unforgettable.\r\n\r\nThese resources are already making a massive difference in our daily routines. We have been using the dry-erase markers during our math work, and it has completely transformed how my students engage with the material. They are more motivated, focused, and eager to learn because they have the exact tools they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nYour investment in our classroom goes far beyond the physical items themselves. By supporting this project, you have sent a powerful message to my 5th graders that their education matters and that there is a whole community cheering them on.

Thank you for choosing our classroom to help students create vibrant pieces of art that coincide with the lessons that we are doing in our class. For this submission, I will be sharing student work that showcases their talents, as well as their understanding of the water cycle. A process that is undoubtedly very confusing for many students. With the illustrations of the cycle, it is my firm belief that their learning of the stages of the water cycle will stay with them throughout their lives.\r\n\r\nUpon receiving the new materials, students were awed by the amount of creative materials they would be able to use for our content related concepts they were learning. Not only did one exclaim, \"I don't think I've seen that many colored pencils in one box,\" another student started waving his hands and smiled the biggest smile I had seen him show! I have to say, I, equally, smiled at the sheer joy of receiving the gift of your donations. Oftentimes, these expenses come out of our pockets, leaving us short on other items. It is through donors like you, that we can bring learning alive through art. \r\n\r\nIn the days ahead and hopefully for the next couple of years, these materials will continue to enhance the learning opportunities in my class and to truly allow students to take pride in their creations either individually or in cooperative learning groups. I have thoroughly reminded students of the value of these gifts and that we must take care, to take great care of them so that they will last. \r\n\r\nWith the utmost sincerity, thank you from the bottom of my heart.","fullyFundedDate":1741797202944,"projectUrl":"project/help-students-bring-their-creative-imagi/8982149/","projectTitle":"Help Students Bring their Creative Imaginations Alive!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gleason","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5115221_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516838402091","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5115221"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96352","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":784,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":70,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":9,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"28.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":96352,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Foussat Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Foussat Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/oceanside-unified-school-district/foussat-elementary-school/96352"}
