We chat about our families, life and inevitable about school! We could not be more thankful for your gift! \r\n Your financial donation and the materials purchased will allow opportunities for my preschoolers to learn, explore and gain knowledge both academically and socially. The materials purchased lend themselves for various social opportunities throughout the day to practice skills with a partner. To learn to be a team player, to interact and have fun! \r\n Again thank you for your kindness and your financial contribution to my class. Your gift made me thankful for all the good in the world. Everyday on the news we see things that make us question the world but we have to remember there is so much good in the world.

I love hearing their conversations and social skills as they play. \r\n Your donation also went towards the purchase of various stem related materials. This year my preschoolers are lucky to have related arts specials. This is the first year they are able to have a stem special. I try to incorporate many of the same activities and experiments within our classroom. The materials purchased are an exciting way to engage my students. \r\n Your generosity does not go unnoticed and has had a positive impact on my classroom and students. As a teacher I cannot express how much your donation means and your commitment to education is valuable to my littlest learners.","fullyFundedDate":1731516540423,"projectUrl":"project/ignite-imaginations/8513110/","projectTitle":"Ignite Imaginations!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hendricks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4787770_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1536606059282","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/c-hendricks"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63527","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":222,"numTeachers":13,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":86,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":95.5,"schoolId":63527,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Douglas Primary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Douglas Primary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/douglas-public-schools/douglas-elementary-school/63527"}
