Each of my students have unique learning needs. Some tools such as the cushion seats helped my students who are medically fragile stay comfortable and focused during learning time. My students were so excited to use the new tools as they take the lead in everyday routines to build up their foundational skills. Developing a love for reading is key for children to learning literature, and the new story books did just that!

Your generous donation of a new stool, storage bins, weight measuring manipulatives, and of course, copious amounts of snacks helped to make our school year a tremendous success \r\nStudents attending title I schools face many challenges both in and out of the classroom. Many of them come from disadvantaged neighborhoods, broken families, and face persistent indignity and discrimination. Faced with so many uncertainties, school is often the only place where they can find relative safety and stability. The goal of this project was to do just that, to provide my students with a place where they feel welcome and safe. In all, your generous donation has helped to make my classroom one that my students were proud to be a part of. With your help my goal of creating a welcoming learning environment was a resounding success. \r\nAll of my students are grateful beyond words and thank you from the bottom of their hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1741970780372,"projectUrl":"project/title-one-schools-run-on-organization-c/9158100/","projectTitle":"Title one schools run on organization, caring, and satisfied tummies.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kaneshiro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9939423"},{"teacherId":9310384,"projectId":9167419,"letterContent":"First of all we came in 4th place for our district's track and field event out of eight schools. Thanks to you folks delivering our equipment right away. The cones and the softballs were put to good use at practices. The basketball tournament, unfortunately, was cancelled because of a conflict with 5th grade having another field trip that was suddenly planned on the same day. The players wear bummed, but we did use the pump, balls, and cones again at the few after school practices we had. Everything will be put to good use again next season.\r\n\r\nSecondly, our class pets are happy to be eating normal meals after rationing them the last few weeks. Students were smuggling carrots and lettuce from the cafeteria to feed to the turtle. The fish were eating the dusty leftovers at the bottom of the canister. The students are mesmerized are the new aquarium light, they said it looks like a disco. Students learn responsibility by having to feed and clean tank. We have enough food to last through next year. \r\n\r\nJust want to say how much I appreciate Donors Chose, helps me get creative and have the freedom to purchase items to further our students' education.","fullyFundedDate":1742089040827,"projectUrl":"project/track-and-field-equipment-needed/9167419/","projectTitle":"Track and Field Equipment Needed","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Pang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9310384"},{"teacherId":8363261,"projectId":9167571,"letterContent":"We are most grateful for your generous donation for my students this past year. We had requested two carts to organize our materials and manila folders to organize the student work. \r\n\r\n All of these donations allowed us to be much more efficient to collect and store the student work. The students were thoroughly excited to see the brand new carts and colorful folders! They knew exactly which folders were their very own color coded folders. They knew where to store their work and materials for easy and quick access. We appreciated the carts since we could use them to store our folders and store our reading materials. As you can see in the photos, the carts made a huge difference to organize our books and workbooks.\r\n Our students and I thank you deeply again for helping us to become much more organized in our storage of student work as well as our classroom materials to impact the efficiency of our learning!","fullyFundedDate":1742085997764,"projectUrl":"project/get-organized/9167571/","projectTitle":"Get Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8363261"},{"teacherId":8823665,"projectId":8856299,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all the after school sports supplies.

There were humongous smiles, squeals of delight, and ecstatic cheers as the items were initially displayed and briefly explained. \r\n\r\nAs the donations were incorporated into our classes, students were definitely highly engaged in their learning. Lower grade students worked in pairs to use the bendable figures to map out possible coding paths to get from one location to another. Once they physically coded a path, they recorded the code onto a white board, then programmed it into a robot. Students celebrated all successes, no matter how big or small. If a robot didn't make it all the way to the target location, the students were still happy at how far they made it. They were proud risk-takers, who then went back to use their bendable figure and written code to see what they needed to do differently to get closer to their goal. \r\n\r\nStudents in grades 2-5 were also highly motivated when they used their robots in conjunction with the world map and the math mat. The students used their communication skills to discuss where their robots would begin and end, as well as what route they wanted the robot to take. In addition to computer science skills, students practiced math and social studies skills as they estimated distance and used directional vocabulary. A few of the older students also expressed an interest to use the bendable figures, too!","fullyFundedDate":1729352319355,"projectUrl":"project/motivation-inspiration-aspiration/8883868/","projectTitle":"Motivation, Inspiration, Aspiration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7825676"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50868","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":239,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":82,"percentAsian":26,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.4,"schoolId":50868,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pu'uhale Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pu'uhale Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/hawaii/honolulu-school-district/puuhale-elementary-school/50868"}
