The students also love the cushions to sit and get cozy while they read!

It's so loved that we even had to have a class discussion about keeping the apples at school. My students enjoy counting and matching the apples to the mats, which reinforces one-to-one correspondence and strengthens their voice-to-number matching for accurate counting.\r\n\r\nThe math activity center has been especially helpful during small groups. When we build numbers together, we discuss their lines and curves before practicing how to write them. This quick recognition of number orientation supports correct number formation.\r\n\r\nThank you for donating to our classroom and bringing joy, excitement, and hands-on fun to learning our numbers","fullyFundedDate":1757423335963,"projectUrl":"project/math-centers/9679065/","projectTitle":"Math Centers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Petruniak","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10039561_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x45,y53&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758127600688","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10039561"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40228","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":298,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":52,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":54.3,"schoolId":40228,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sandy Lane Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sandy Lane Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/pinellas-county-schools/sandy-lane-elementary-school/40228"}
