I walked into my office and brought out the huge bin of Legos and other accessories purchased by the amazing people through Donors Choose! The class literally screamed so loud. It was beautiful to sit and watch kids just be kids and use their imagination and not have a time that was structured and forced to follow a set of directions from their teacher. I can't wait till spring when I bring out the LEGO Spike kit and they can program and engineer to their hearts desire. Thank you again for brining back imagination and creativity to my class!","fullyFundedDate":1729468869839,"projectUrl":"project/stem-via-lego/8488233/","projectTitle":"Stem via Lego","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fisher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2079407_orig.png?crop=345,345,x16,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1572805715933","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tthew"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_30922","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":437,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":38,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":45,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.6,"schoolId":30922,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Lake Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Lake Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/orange-county-public-schools/east-lake-elementary-school/30922"}
