Because of your kindness, our students were recently able to unpack a wonderful shipment of essential supplies, including colorful paper, heavy-duty binders, giant magnetic dry-erase paper, and fun eraser tops. Your contribution has made a direct, positive impact on our daily learning environment.\r\n\r\nThese supplies have immediately transformed our day-to-day lessons. We used the colorful paper to color-code our interactive subject folders and create vibrant graphic organizers for our daily writing and reading workshops. These bright visuals have been fantastic for keeping complex projects organized and accessible for every learner. Meanwhile, the new three-ring binders are now serving as our \"Student Success Portfolios,\" where students archive and showcase their best work throughout the year.\r\n\r\nOne particularly special moment occurred during our recent interactive group lesson: using the jumbo magnetic lined paper on our main whiteboard, students took turns coming up to demonstrate letter formation and practice shared sentence-building in real time. Having large-format, reusable materials made collaborative writing engaging and accessible for everyone. We are so grateful for your help in creating a more organized and exciting classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1776130876093,"projectUrl":"project/everything-we-need-to-erase-mistakes-and/10127437/","projectTitle":"Everything We Need to Erase Mistakes and Stay Organized","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vargas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9131656_orig.jpg?crop=3005,3005,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691280976289","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9131656"},{"teacherId":10159448,"projectId":10199004,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, \"Growing Minds Through Outdoor Play and Exploration.\" Your generosity has made a wonderful difference in our VPK classroom and has given our young learners new opportunities to learn, move, explore, and grow through hands-on outdoor experiences.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, they were so excited and could not wait to use them! The resources have allowed us to take learning beyond the classroom and create meaningful outdoor activities that strengthen gross motor skills, coordination, teamwork, problem-solving, and social-emotional development. My students are learning how to take turns, follow directions, work together, and encourage one another while staying active and having fun.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding things has been watching students learn through play. We have been able to incorporate counting, shapes, patterns, movement, and following directions into our outdoor activities. The materials have helped me provide engaging learning experiences for children with different learning styles, especially those who learn best when they can move, touch, explore, and actively participate.\r\n\r\nBecause of these resources, I am able to make outdoor time an extension of our classroom learning rather than simply a time for physical play. We will continue using the materials to build new games and challenges connected to the skills and concepts we are learning throughout the school year.\r\n\r\nA very special thank you to The DonorsChoose Community for helping make this project possible. Your support has provided my students with resources that bring excitement, movement, exploration, and meaningful learning into their school day. We are incredibly grateful for your investment in our little learners and for helping us grow their minds through outdoor play and exploration!","fullyFundedDate":1778783338998,"projectUrl":"project/growing-minds-through-outdoor-play-and-e/10199004/","projectTitle":"Growing Minds Through Outdoor Play and Exploration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Farham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10159448"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45636","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":548,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":34,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.8,"schoolId":45636,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about V Boone - Highland Oaks Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"V Boone - Highland Oaks Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/v-boone-highland-oaks-elementary-school/45636"}
