Recently, everyone made characters for a play they are doing. They put lots of time and effort into making their own unique characters. \r\n\r\n The students all come into class with new designs they worked on at home and I am so happy they are trying to make things that have to do with what we are learning about. They have told their friends and they teach the other students how to use the \"Chomp Saws.\" \r\n\r\n Thank you for the special machines that are making a difference everyday in and out of the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1757986954904,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-creations-come-to-life/9714626/","projectTitle":"Hands -On Creations Come to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bond","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1997519_orig.png?crop=449,449,x80,y261&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690518862247","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bond3rd"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_27122","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":842,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":54,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"23.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":92.1,"schoolId":27122,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hickory Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hickory Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/torrance-unified-school-district/hickory-elementary-school/27122"}
