The resources help students build important early skills such as recognizing letters and numbers, counting, problem-solving, and learning how to share and work together. One special moment was seeing students excitedly explore the materials together, using new words to describe what they were doing and proudly showing their work to classmates.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were full of smiles and curiosity. They asked questions, took turns, and were eager to try new activities. The hands-on nature of these resources keeps students engaged longer and supports learning through play, which is essential for preschool development.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue using these materials to strengthen early literacy, math, and social-emotional skills throughout the school year. Your kindness has created meaningful learning experiences and a joyful classroom environment for our youngest learners. Thank you for investing in our students and our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758843692516,"projectUrl":"project/creativity-in-our-classroom/9719921/","projectTitle":"Creativity in Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shaw","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8617370_orig.jpg?crop=289,289,x97,y24&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673029067584","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8617370"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_109575","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":423,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":94,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":34.5,"schoolId":109575,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about District of Columbia Preparatory Anacostia Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"District of Columbia Preparatory Anacostia Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/district-of-columbia/district-of-columbia-public-charter-school-board/anacostia-elementary-campus/109575"}
