I have seen a huge increase of both boys and girls taking care of the baby dolls; maiking sure they have weather appropriate colothes on and giving them a bottle to \"drink\". The puppets are a big hit as well, it is so nice to see some students noticing that these puppets look like them! some of my students have never see a toy that looks like them. They are representated in our clasrroom. This was a huge goal for me. I wanted every child to be seen and acknowledged. I really love to see the teamwork and community building in our growing dramatic play area. \r\nThank you again for letting us play and grow as a school community.","fullyFundedDate":1769178029668,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-dramatic/9826127/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Dramatic!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Madderra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp519774_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763816040284","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mmadderra"},{"teacherId":519774,"projectId":9892928,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the wonderful gift of our scholastic reader magazines.

The kids were very excited to see that they were each getting their own personal magazine to take home. I even saw a few sneek into their cubbies and take them out to look at during the day!

They were so excited when the boxes came! It felt like Christmas! Every box was a new set of Oohs and Ahhas, when we opend them. We started the butterflies and ladybugs immediately! They had so much fun watching the ladybugs larva and caterpillars change into butterflies and ladybugs. They children were able to help feed them, change their plants, and finally release them into the wild. They are ready do do it all over again! \r\n You have brought new life into our science area. The science area is so full with new toys. The googles were a wonderful addition to our science area. The kids were wearing them daily and pretending that they were scientists. The magnet skeleton is a big hit with students asking about which bones do what. Your generosity has brought new life into our classroom. Thank you all for your kindness. Myself, my co-teachers, and especially the students are so thankful that you decided to help us and give to our clasroom.","fullyFundedDate":1745702330200,"projectUrl":"project/lets-learn-some-science/8982244/","projectTitle":"Let's Learn Some Science!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Madderra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp519774_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763816040284","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mmadderra"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_32800","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":745,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":20,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"26.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.2,"schoolId":32800,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Madison Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Madison Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/twin-rivers-unified-school-district/madison-elementary-school/32800"}
