I love finding ways to incorporate art, creativity, and color into our learning, and having these materials available gives my students so many more opportunities to create and express themselves.\r\n\r\nOne thing that is especially important to me is making sure my students have materials that allow them to represent themselves. Having a variety of colors and art supplies means students can create pictures of themselves, their families, and their communities in ways that actually feel like them. I love seeing how excited and proud they are when they get to make something that is truly their own.\r\n\r\nLast year, I saw firsthand how much my students enjoyed having art incorporated into our everyday learning, and these supplies are allowing me to continue that in my kindergarten classroom this year. Whether we are creating something connected to a story, practicing a new skill, or simply having an opportunity to be creative, these materials help make learning more engaging, meaningful, and fun.\r\n\r\nI am so grateful to everyone who helped bring this project to life and provided my students with materials we will continue using throughout the school year.

They are truly enjoying showing off their creative side at school. The light pegboard is so much fun, and they really like creating images with the different colored pegs. They've created smiley faces, dogs, cats, and patterns. When I put together the easel, they were so excited! The first day of painting, I heard things like, \"Look at me, I'm an artist now!\" They have really been enjoying painting on a daily basis. It is currently our most popular center. \r\n\r\nThe dress-up clothes are truly bringing their imaginations to life! We've had police officers arresting bad guys, doctors' offices, army boot camp, and play restaurants all thanks to the new dress-up clothes that you helped donate to our classroom!

Every day with them is exciting, and I'm always looking for ways to keep their enthusiasm for learning alive. The Scholastic News Magazine has been a perfect way to do just that. It brings real-world topics into the classroom in a way that gets them thinking and talking about things happening around them. It's also a great tool for building reading and critical thinking skills in a way that feels fun and relevant.\r\n\r\nThe magazine covers interesting topics like environmental issues, technology, and stories of young people making a difference. These articles have sparked amazing conversations in class and inspired students to think about their own ideas and solutions. For example, after reading about a young inventor, students began brainstorming their own inventions, which was a great way to connect learning with creativity. The Scholastic News Magazine helps my students see that learning isn't just in a book—it's all around them, and they have the power to make an impact.\r\n\r\nBeyond just excitement, the magazine has helped students improve their reading and writing. The articles are written for their level, making it accessible for everyone. Interactive features, like quizzes and discussion prompts, help reinforce what they've learned and get them thinking critically. I've seen growth in their comprehension and writing skills, and most importantly, they're learning to express their ideas and engage with the world in a meaningful way. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to use this resource, and thanks to the DonorsChoose project, my students have a tool that makes learning more fun and impactful.","fullyFundedDate":1756088721233,"projectUrl":"project/scholastic-news-magazine/9594595/","projectTitle":"Scholastic News Magazine","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McFarlin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3346883_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746490751745","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3346883"},{"teacherId":8707832,"projectId":7570318,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support in providing supplies for our art and literacy activities. Because of your kindness, our students were able to experience the powerful connection between art and writing. We saw an incredible transformation—students who were once hesitant to write became eager storytellers. Creating art first gave them the confidence and inspiration to expand on their ideas, and they began adding details that brought their stories to life.\r\n\r\nThe joy in the classroom was unmistakable. Students were excited to share their work, encourage one another, and celebrate their creativity. Your generosity made it possible for them to see their voices and stories as valuable and worth sharing.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your partnership in helping our students grow as both artists and writers. Your support has had a truly lasting impact on their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1694216104459,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-1st-grade-stories-to-life-with/7570318/","projectTitle":"Bringing 1st Grade Stories to Life With Illustrations","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dorado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8707832_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663705681593","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8707832"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_32663","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":392,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":71,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":32663,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cahuilla Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cahuilla Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/palm-springs-unified-school-district/cahuilla-elementary-school/32663"}
