Your kindness and willingness to invest in my classroom mean so much to me and my students. Because of your generosity, my students now have access to new resources that will help make learning more engaging, hands-on, and meaningful.\r\n\r\nWe have already put these materials to use in our classroom! The new resources allow my students to explore concepts in a more interactive way, work together, and build confidence as they learn. One of the most rewarding moments was seeing their excitement and curiosity as they explored the materials for the first time. They were stoked to see the craft materials and have been able to use their creativity to be little artists during free choice! STEM building materials have been vital in our morning \"soft start\" which is so important for kindergarten. Whisper phones have been amazing in them practicing reading to themselves, and all of the new books they have loved!! Their smiles, questions, and enthusiasm reminded me how powerful it can be to provide students with the tools they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our classroom lessons and projects, students will have opportunities to use these resources to practice new skills, collaborate with classmates, think critically, and apply what they are learning. I look forward to watching their confidence grow as they use these materials to explore new ideas and take on new challenges. Your support will continue to make a difference throughout our learning journey. Kindergarten can be challenging, but these materials definitely make learning exciting, fun, and meaningful!\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and helping provide them with opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. Your generosity goes beyond supplying classroom materials; it helps create meaningful learning experiences and shows my students that others believe in their potential. I am truly grateful for your support and for making a positive difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1784993938396,"projectUrl":"project/second-year-teacher-first-year-teaching/10360692/","projectTitle":"Second Year Teacher, First Year Teaching Kindergarten!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Krawczyk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10056518_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750213703407","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10056518"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_25587","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":488,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":61,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"18.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.3,"schoolId":25587,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Centennial Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Centennial Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/elgin-school-district-u-46/centennial-elementary-school/25587"}
