First and foremost, the ability to produce colorful learning materials has benefited the way we teach and learn. From visually engaging visuals and signs to beautifully illustrated worksheets, our lessons have taken on a new level of excitement. The children are not only more captivated by the materials, but their understanding and retention of concepts have noticeably improved. The color printer has empowered them to showcase their artistic talents and creativity through drawings and projects. \r\n\r\nMoreover, the printer has allowed us to tailor materials to individual learning styles. Whether it's providing additional visual cues for certain students or creating personalized assignments, the color printer has become an invaluable tool for accommodating diverse learning needs.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has opened a world of possibilities for our PreK classroom. It has contributed to a more dynamic, stimulating, and effective learning environment, leaving a lasting impact on the education and development of these young minds.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your thoughtful donation.

These hands-on tools, such as base ten blocks, counting bears, and geometric shapes, have allowed students to visualize and physically engage with abstract ideas like place value, addition, subtraction, and fractions. By manipulating these materials, students gain a deeper understanding of the \"why\" behind math operations, making learning more concrete and less intimidating. The manipulatives have also supported differentiated learning, enabling me to tailor lessons to various skill levels and ensuring that each child can grasp the material at their own pace.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the manipulatives have fostered a more interactive and engaging classroom environment, where students are encouraged to collaborate and discuss their mathematical thinking. Working with peers on math problems using these tools has helped build their problem-solving and communication skills, while also increasing their confidence in tackling new challenges. The tangible nature of the manipulatives has transformed math from a subject that can sometimes feel abstract and overwhelming into a fun and accessible activity. As a result, my students are more motivated, excited, and successful in their math learning, and the manipulatives have become an essential part of our daily classroom routines.","fullyFundedDate":1731391550711,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-math/8555419/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Math!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9085212_orig.jpg?crop=868,868,x571,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694708617935","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lgonzalez21"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96458","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":530,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":94,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":89.8,"schoolId":96458,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dr Manuel Barreiro Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dr Manuel Barreiro Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/dr-manuel-barreiro-elementary-school/96458"}
