Your support has brought the XL LEGO World Set into our multi-age Montessori classroom, providing kindergarten and first-grade learners with a powerful tool for creating and learning. We are so grateful for your belief in this project and our learners.\r\n\r\nThis LEGO set has already become a central part of our afternoon activities. We have used it to bring stories to life by building scenes and characters, which has truly enhanced our storytelling and comprehension skills. We have also used the pieces to create a town complete with a variety of locations to bring those concepts to life and learn the important components of a community. The pieces are a perfect fit for little hands, and it has been amazing to see their fine motor skills, coordination, and imagination blossom as they build new creations each time.\r\n\r\nThe XL LEGO World Set has made a huge impact on the creativity in the classroom and is exactly what we needed to meet diverse learning styles, especially our learners who love to build and express themselves through this type of material. Your contribution has made a significant difference, and it will be a valued resource in our classroom for many years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom and helping these learners discover the joy of learning through play.","fullyFundedDate":1744744692861,"projectUrl":"project/creating-imaginative-storytelling-with-l/9244972/","projectTitle":"Creating Imaginative Storytelling with LEGO","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jess","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9174597"},{"teacherId":3491044,"projectId":8724770,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for your generous donation to our storage cabinet, deck box, and umbrella. Your support has made a significant difference for our students and staff, and we genuinely appreciate your commitment to enhancing our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe deck space has quickly become one of the most popular areas on campus, thanks mainly to the thoughtful additions you made possible. The deck box, which also serves as a comfortable bench, has proven to be a favorite gathering spot for our students. Whether they're sitting and working during lessons or simply relaxing during breaks, they appreciate having a functional and cozy place to sit. This new addition has dramatically improved their outdoor learning experience, providing them a space to focus, collaborate, and enjoy the fresh air.\r\n\r\nEqually impactful is the umbrella, which has been a game-changer for our outdoor learning area. The strong sun can often make outdoor activities difficult, but the umbrella provides a much-needed shaded area for our students. It creates a cool, comfortable space around our picnic table, where students can gather to study, work on assignments, or collaborate on projects without the heat of discomfort. Whether enjoying lunch, engaging in group work, or simply taking a break, the umbrella ensures that students can use this outdoor space throughout the day without interruption. It has indeed become an essential part of our outdoor classroom.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your incredible generosity and for being such a valuable part of our community. Your support is truly making a difference in the lives of our students. We look forward to continuing to create an enriching environment for our learners, and your donation is playing a key role in that effort.","fullyFundedDate":1725379424447,"projectUrl":"project/outdoor-storage-for-our-classroom-deck/8724770/","projectTitle":"Outdoor Storage for Our Classroom Deck","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Andrew","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3491044_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725028191501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrcattpe"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_127920","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":175,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":3,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.6,"schoolId":127920,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about The Nature School of Central Indiana on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"The Nature School of Central Indiana","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/indiana-department-of-education/the-nature-school-of-central-indiana/127920"}
