They gathered around as we opened the boxes, eager to see what was inside. The energy in the room was contagious, and several students immediately began imagining how we might use the supplies in our lessons.\r\n\r\nSince then, the materials have quickly become an important part of our classroom. We've used them during hands-on activities, small-group projects, and whole-class lessons. My students especially enjoy working together, sharing ideas, and finding new ways to connect what we're learning to the world around them. These tools have also helped them strengthen their reading, writing, and problem-solving skills by encouraging them to observe, record, and explain their thinking.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue using the materials to explore new topics and create opportunities for deeper learning across subjects. My students feel proud, motivated, and excited each day, and your generosity has made that possible. Thank you for supporting our classroom and giving my students the chance to learn in meaningful, engaging ways.","fullyFundedDate":1755696713768,"projectUrl":"project/2nd-grade/9500749/","projectTitle":"2nd Grade!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10093769_orig.jpg?crop=4284,4284,x0,y1085&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758142152760","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10093769"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_127737","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":66,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":38,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":127737,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about GEO Next Generation Academy (K-6) on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"GEO Next Generation Academy (K-6)","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/indiana-department-of-education/indy-steam-academy/127737"}
