I am writing on behalf of my second through fifth-grade students at Mountain Park Elementary School to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of a gift card for Teachers Pay Teachers. Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase a variety of engaging educational resources, including escape rooms, logic puzzles, and comprehension coloring pages. These materials have significantly enriched our science and social studies curriculum, making learning not only informative but also enjoyable and interactive.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your contribution has been remarkable. The escape rooms and logic puzzles have transformed our classroom into an exciting environment where students are eager to solve problems and think critically. They have learned to work collaboratively, developing essential communication and teamwork skills while diving into complex topics. The comprehension coloring pages have been a fantastic tool in reinforcing content, allowing students to express their understanding creatively and solidify their knowledge in a memorable way.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made a meaningful difference in our students' educational experience, igniting a passion for learning that I believe will last a lifetime. We are incredibly grateful for your support and for believing in the potential of our young learners. Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity; it truly has made a positive impact on our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1747785791124,"projectUrl":"project/teachers-make-and-students-partake/9367065/","projectTitle":"Teachers Make and Students Partake","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Elgin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5472054_orig.jpg?crop=401,401,x0,y36&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565355778024","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jessica-elgin"},{"teacherId":8620359,"projectId":8624301,"letterContent":"Your donation has made a huge difference in my 4th-grade classroom! With Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards, I purchased high-quality, standards-aligned resources created by experienced educators. These materials included engaging reading passages, literacy games, and interactive lessons that brought learning to life. Having access to these resources allows me to differentiate instruction, meet the needs of all learners, and save valuable planning time so I can focus on teaching.

Our methods involve more rigorous and more open-ended ways of applying content standards.\r\n\r\nTo that end, the name of the game is critical thinking and creativity. First, TAG students must decipher, analyze, and make judgements based on their content knowledge and previous learning experiences. Without those deep connections, new learning cannot take place. This is where the critical thinking resources are essential. Then, TAG students apply that new learning in an original way. They come up with many ideas, and elaborate on them. This is where the creativity resources are essential.\r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate the addition of these Critical Thinking and Creativity materials to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1730919826051,"projectUrl":"project/critical-and-creative-thinkers/8906726/","projectTitle":"Critical and Creative Thinkers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Elgin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5472054_orig.jpg?crop=401,401,x0,y36&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565355778024","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jessica-elgin"},{"teacherId":5472054,"projectId":8900957,"letterContent":"It is the ultimate goal of the educator to extend learning beyond the classroom and beyond the time we have with our students. Neither of these can be accomplished without the school-home connection.\r\n\r\nIt may seem simple, but a learning space and the feelings that arise when a child is in that space truly matter. With these materials, my students have felt comfortable, safe, and at home. They can cozy up with a good book, research for long periods of time, spread out with a group project on the floor. Even though these activities are in every classroom, how and where they take place makes a difference.\r\n\r\nThank you for providing a home away from home in Elgin's Empire.

My students are enjoying the new books-they really loved the book \"Mr. Ferris and His Wheel.\" We use books like that to inspire and learn. In that lesson, students learned about the World Fair that the ferris wheel debuted at. They then researched other inventions that debuted at the world fairs, and created an invention they would debut. All from one book! \r\n\r\nThe other items all impacted students in many ways. New white boards and furniture in our room keeps them excited about the environment. The comprehension cards give them an opportunity to practice without needing a worksheet, and they are standard based.","fullyFundedDate":1728517475770,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-linns-literacy-lineup/8840157/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Linn's Literacy Lineup","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Linn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7580262"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49427","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":735,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":12,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":60.5,"schoolId":49427,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mountain Park Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mountain Park Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/fulton-county-school-district/mountain-park-elementary-school/49427"}
