Your generosity has had an immediate impact on our students and classroom community.\r\nWith these resources, we were able to better organize our Montessori materials so students can independently find, use, and return their work. This has helped create a more peaceful and productive learning environment where students can focus on their learning and build confidence in their ability to work independently. We also created a peace corner, a dedicated space where students can go when they need time to regulate their emotions, practice calming strategies, and return to learning when they feel ready.\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these resources will support our ongoing work in building independence, responsibility, and social-emotional growth. Students are learning how to care for their environment, solve problems peacefully, and recognize and manage their emotions. The organized Montessori materials allow students to access meaningful work with confidence, while the peace corner continues to provide a safe space for reflection and emotional regulation. Thank you for helping us create a classroom where every child feels supported, empowered, and ready to learn each day. Your generosity is making a lasting difference in the lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1777590449680,"projectUrl":"project/social-emotional-classroom-organization/10138665/","projectTitle":"Social Emotional/ Classroom Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barrett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10460522_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y152&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1773157522237","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10460522"},{"teacherId":8499813,"projectId":10139375,"letterContent":"My kindergarten classroom is beautiful and peaceful. The majority of my students have not been to a preschool setting before stepping into my room. I want this space to be calm and inviting. Being a Montessori public school has its challenges but it's a nice space full of materials to engage all of our senses. \r\nWhen my students entered the space they wanted to explore the materials and feel them. Even past students stop by and say this looks so different and we didn't have these materials. It's very inviting and engages students to choose their own materials to take to their workspace.","fullyFundedDate":1778336851604,"projectUrl":"project/montessori-support/10139375/","projectTitle":"Montessori Support","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Osborne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8499813_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1655320749098","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8499813"},{"teacherId":10460487,"projectId":10138602,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donations, last year students only just got to begin to experience building and experimenting with the materials. We not only used it to problem solve some more abstract scenarios, we also got to use the I course tutorials to practice coding skills. One of our favorite moments was when one of our friends with different needs was able to record audio, and with some help of other students, program to robot to communicate with their other teacher. The students were very excited when I brought it in and were asking all day to start (despite the normal schedule). As we go into the next year know that we plan to do use them again this year to refresh our skills, then pull them out for some of out labs this year.","fullyFundedDate":1773413541397,"projectUrl":"project/introducing-engineering/10138602/","projectTitle":"Introducing Engineering","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Siever","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10460487_orig.jpg?crop=209,209,x0,y190&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1773144459142","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10460487"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_51883","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":319,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":28,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":77.1,"schoolId":51883,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Findley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Findley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/des-moines-public-schools/findley-elementary-school/51883"}
