My first graders could hardly contain themselves as I opened the boxes. Their eyes lit up seeing all the snacks and brand-new fidgets for them to use in class to help with calming them as well as filling the treasure box. They asked, \"Are these really for us, Ms. Wanza?\" Watching their faces fill with pride and wonder as they realized that caring people outside our classroom believed in them and wanted them to have these tools was a moment I will nor them will ever forget. \r\nThese new materials have completely transformed our daily activities and routines for classroom management, sensory, and motivation to keep them going. Since the boxes have arrived, we have had one hundred percent participation in class as well as them coming to school. \r\nLooking ahead, we are continuing to build on this momentum to get them here to school, encouraging them learning is fun and you can use different resources to show your work and eat at the same time. lol \r\nThank you so much for giving our classroom the tools to make learning meaningful, joyful, and accessible for every single student!","fullyFundedDate":1790961853383,"projectUrl":"project/snoopys-academic-quest-game-on-level-u/10419853/","projectTitle":"Snoopy's Academic Quest: Game On Level Up","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wanza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8704755"},{"teacherId":10076191,"projectId":10411539,"letterContent":"Once our students found out that new sticks and mallets were on the way, they immediately started coming up to me, buzzing with excitement and gratitude.

Tonight, our Marching Saints performed at the first football game of the season, and with the intense heatwave sweeping the country, your support made all the difference. Because we had access to emergency essentials like ice packs and Liquid I.V., we were able to quickly help any student who needed extra care and keep them performing at their best.\r\n\r\nThis past May, our band represented our school and state in the 250th National Memorial Parade in Washington, D.C. During that trip, several students experienced overheating, and our thick, heavy uniforms only made it harder. We depleted our entire supply of ice packs and returned home knowing we needed more to keep our kids safe.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our students are equipped to thrive through another season. Your kindness truly keeps them marching strong.","fullyFundedDate":1786541748097,"projectUrl":"project/marching-band-emergency-bags/10411487/","projectTitle":"Marching Band Emergency Bags","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jenn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10076191_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752589172832","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10076191"},{"teacherId":10278427,"projectId":9955376,"letterContent":"My students are better able to participate & communicate with adults & peers, especially during their Morning Circle Time Period in the Classroom.\r\n\r\nWe were able to use the construction paper to do therapy projects & other classroom tasks & also used the snacks for reward & reinforcement.\r\n\r\nYo will see in the joy on the student's faces in the pictures presented, when they are know they are able to communicate information !\r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity in helping to make a difference in our student's lives!

Because of your generosity, we now have a classroom library filled with books at a variety of levels, allowing every student to find something they can access and enjoy. Many of these books also reflect diversity and inclusion, which has been so meaningful for my students as they begin to see themselves and others represented in what we read.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading looks like students gathered together on the carpet, in small groups, or independently exploring books that match their interests and abilities. I've seen students who were previously hesitant become more confident and excited to pick up a book. One of my favorite moments has been watching students choose books on their own and proudly share what they are reading with their peers.\r\n\r\nIn addition to books, the sensory tools, fidgets, and hands-on materials have made a huge difference in helping my students stay focused and regulated throughout the day. These supports allow them to better engage in lessons and build independence, especially in our CSS classroom setting. Even the snacks have helped meet basic needs so students can come to learning ready and focused.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact on both the academic growth and daily experience of my students. Thank you for investing in them and helping create a space where they feel supported, included, and excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1763836989361,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-2nd-grade-teacher-giving-1st-/9523181/","projectTitle":"First-Year 2nd-Grade Teacher Giving 1st-Class Experience!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ellison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9167439_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691488134220","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9167439"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46168","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":519,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":31,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.6,"schoolId":46168,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Southside Estates Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Southside Estates Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/duval-county-public-schools/southside-elementary-schooltates-elementary-school/46168"}
