We use the new materials during our morning tabletop explorations, learning centers, small groups, and imaginative play. The children build, create, problem-solve, practice fine-motor skills, and learn how to share materials and ideas with their classmates.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new resources, they were thrilled! They immediately began exploring, asking questions, and inviting one another to play. One of my favorite moments was watching students work together to build a structure. They had to communicate their ideas, take turns, solve problems when pieces did not fit, and celebrate what they created together. What looked like simple play was actually rich learning involving language, mathematics, creativity, cooperation, and perseverance.\r\n\r\nThese materials have also helped students feel more comfortable and connected in our classroom. Engaging play choices make morning transitions easier and give children a natural way to form friendships. Students who are still developing language can participate, communicate, and experience success alongside their peers.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom is becoming a joyful, welcoming community where children learn through curiosity and play. Thank you for giving my students resources that will inspire creativity, build confidence, and support meaningful learning throughout the school year!","fullyFundedDate":1787186891310,"projectUrl":"project/building-our-classroom-family-through-pl/10520898/","projectTitle":"Building Our Classroom Family Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gras","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2049489_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503526133701","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mara-gras"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41586","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":520,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.8,"schoolId":41586,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Teller Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Teller Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/denver-public-school-district-1/teller-elementary-school/41586"}
