During rainy days or when we have indoor recess, students have been able to choose from hands-on activities that encourage them to build, create, and work together instead of simply sitting at their desks. In math, the new manipulatives have made abstract concepts much more concrete. Students can use counters, connecting cubes, and other hands-on materials to practice counting, addition, subtraction, patterns, and problem-solving. When they first saw the materials, they were immediately excited and eager to explore them. I loved seeing students naturally begin sharing materials, talking through their ideas, and helping their classmates.\r\n\r\nOur STEM bins have also become a favorite classroom resource. Students are using the supplies to build structures, experiment with different designs, and solve simple challenges using creativity and teamwork. One memorable moment was watching students work together to build and test a structure, make changes when it did not work the first time, and try again. Our next steps are to continue using the math manipulatives during upcoming lessons and expand our STEM challenges so students can design, build, test, and improve their creations. These resources are giving my students more opportunities to learn through play, hands-on exploration, and collaboration, and I am so grateful to our donors for making these experiences possible.","fullyFundedDate":1787262002272,"projectUrl":"project/building-minds-through-play-and-discover/10321200/","projectTitle":"Building Minds Through Play and Discovery","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Duckworth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10380127"},{"teacherId":10227225,"projectId":9656029,"letterContent":"Throughout this school year, these resources became an important part of our classroom, supporting collaborative projects and hands-on math practice. My students have used them in many meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nThe poster paper, anchor chart paper, markers, and colored printer paper were used consistently during group activities and projects across subjects. Students created colorful anchor charts, posters, and presentations to show their learning in reading, science, social studies, and math. These projects promoted collaboration, creativity, and deeper understanding while allowing students to learn from each other.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating cushions quickly became one of the students' favorite additions to our classroom. Throughout the year, students used them during partner work, independent reading, math fact fluency practice, and review games. Some of my favorite classroom moments came from seeing students spread out around the room working together on multiplication flash cards, playing multiplication war, quizzing one another, and practicing skills in ways that felt engaging and fun.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were excited and eager to use them. The new resources brought fresh energy and enthusiasm to our classroom. Students loved collaborating in new ways, working around the room, and creating projects they were proud to share.\r\n\r\nAs the school year ends, I can truly say these materials positively impacted my students and our classroom environment. Looking ahead, I am excited to incorporate more partner work, collaborative activities, and hands-on learning with these resources. Your generosity helped create a classroom where students felt engaged, supported, creative, and excited to learn. Thank you for investing in my students and making a meaningful difference.","fullyFundedDate":1764692341128,"projectUrl":"project/building-positive-relationships-one-inc/9656029/","projectTitle":"Building Positive Relationships, One Incentive At A Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Powell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10227225_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756908601820","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10227225"},{"teacherId":9598880,"projectId":9662362,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donations for snacks. The students look forward to snack time after resource class. I have all boys this year and they are always hungry!\r\n I was able to set up an area where they go and choose their snacks. A large table serves as an eating area and gives the opportunity for social interaction without stress. \r\n Knowing that hunger during the day is one less thing to worry about allows them to focus on their work. Knowing that others care enough to make sure they have a basic need met helps them develop empathy for others. It certainly helped me provide for my students and assure them that they will not have to worry day to day.","fullyFundedDate":1762266273951,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-nourish-their-potential-support/9662362/","projectTitle":"Help Us Nourish Their Potential: Support Snacks for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Roberts","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9598880"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_70331","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":646,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.9,"schoolId":70331,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rideout Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rideout Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/clay-county-school-district/rideout-elementary-school/70331"}
