Students were able to created monsters with the colorful paper and googly eyes provided while they were displaying on their monsters the different strategies they could use to multiply. Students were also able to create their own penguin after learning about penguins. They were even able to add a little personal touch to their penguin by creating a little snow globe with their picture on it to attach to their penguin. None of this would have been possible with your support. Students have truly enjoyed creating art pieces and crafts to express their creativity and talents. It has also added a layer of fun into their learning. Once again, we are all truly grateful for your donations.","fullyFundedDate":1731940507554,"projectUrl":"project/chair-pouches-headphones-art-supplie/8865367/","projectTitle":"Chair Pouches, Headphones & Art Supplies in Need!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. C.MARTINEZ","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9797510"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79681","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":527,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":97,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":79681,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Karl F Clemens Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Karl F Clemens Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/wasco-union-elementary-school-district/karl-f-clemens-elementary-school/79681"}
