My students have been using them daily, and one moment that really stood out was during a recent lesson where they were able to apply their learning in a hands-on way. Instead of just talking about the concept, they were actively engaged—collaborating, experimenting, and making real connections. It was one of those moments where you can see the learning happening, and the excitement in the room was undeniable.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were beyond excited. There were lots of \"Wait, we get to use these?!\" and big smiles all around. They immediately wanted to dive in and explore. For many of them, having access to new, high-quality resources made them feel valued and motivated—it showed them that people beyond our classroom care about their learning.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these materials will continue to play a key role in our current lessons and upcoming projects. Students will be building on what they've started by working more independently and taking ownership of their learning. We're especially focusing on applying skills in deeper, more creative ways, and these resources are making that possible. Because of your generosity, my students aren't just learning—they're engaged, confident, and excited about what comes next.","fullyFundedDate":1770147740240,"projectUrl":"project/end-of-year-refill/10080107/","projectTitle":"End of Year Refill","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Berger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9478410_orig.jpg?crop=810,810,x144,y299&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708743586555","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9478410"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_19824","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":488,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":85,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":73.0,"schoolId":19824,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Paris Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Paris Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/fairfield-community-school-district/new-paris-elementary-school/19824"}
