Your support has already made a meaningful difference in our daily learning.\r\n\r\nThe materials you provided are being used constantly and with great enthusiasm. The letter tiles have become a favorite tool for helping students build words, explore letter–sound connections, and strengthen early literacy skills in a hands-on, engaging way. Our new magnetic tens frames allow students to create and solve math problems visually, helping them understand number relationships and develop confidence in foundational math concepts. The regrouping charts and magnetic tiles have been especially helpful as we practice adding and subtracting with clear, concrete supports that make abstract ideas accessible. And the counting block train has sparked joyful learning as students make groups, compare quantities, and build counting fluency through playful exploration.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only enriched our curriculum but has also opened the door for more meaningful and accessible learning experiences. These tools allow my students to learn through touch, movement, and exploration—methods that truly meet their unique needs.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for investing in their growth. We are truly grateful for your kindness and support.","fullyFundedDate":1757504118342,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-manipulatives-for-ms-elgesems/9680175/","projectTitle":"Engaging Manipulatives for Ms. Elgesem’s class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Elgesem","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10051355_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751943709414","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10051355"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63612","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":402,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":86.2,"schoolId":63612,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about St Leonard Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"St Leonard Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/calvert-county-public-school-district/st-leonard-elementary-school/63612"}
