We want you to know that we are using all the materials in our classroom and even got to take them home to explore with. During our group time, the students got to explore, build, and learn about various content material. We also used the games during our family fun night. The laminating pouches came in handy throughout the school. We got to laminate posters and student work so it can be mounted on the walls and safely displayed. This gave others opportunities to ask about our learning and made other students interested in learning more in science class. Our science posters about women in science, earth science, and others gave us opportunities to see and learn about how our community can be successful. \r\n\r\nWe are so thankful for the activities that helped us to explore more about our earth and about the life and physical sciences. Students were very excited as they unpacked and opened the boxes. They were so eager to use the materials. The smiles on their faces said it all. I know they are truly grateful for having opportunities to learn through hands on activities and materials. Our students need that and they are better learners as a result of these opportunities. We will continue to use the posters as a resource as well as having it posted in the classroom for daily exposure. Our materials are used in our group activities as well as in small group explorations. These also give students opportunities to work together and collaborate. We will continue to use all the materials in the units taught and as a guide and resource to help us be proficient learners! Thank you for a making a difference in our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1746583489894,"projectUrl":"project/stemming-into-science/9097460/","projectTitle":"Stemming Into Science","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kainaya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp686884_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1644443057951","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/686884"},{"teacherId":4877322,"projectId":4002795,"letterContent":"The flexible seating has transformed our classroom into a space where students feel comfortable and engaged. One specific moment was during a small group math activity, where students chose their own seating. They were relaxed, collaborated easily, and stayed focused longer than usual. It allowed me to work more closely with individual groups while students supported each other.Their faces lit up! Many students rushed to try out the new seating options, and several commented that it felt \"like learning at home.\" That excitement carried into their lessons—they were more eager to participate and contribute.The flexible setting continues to be very impactful. Students are now able to relax and participate in small group activities with confidence. The next step is for them to use this setup during our upcoming project-based learning unit, where they'll work in rotating teams to solve real-world math problems and present their solutions. The environment supports collaboration and helps every student feel like their voice matters.","fullyFundedDate":1561739637598,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/4002795/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Underwood","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4877322_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1507664089064","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/samara-taylor"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73154","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":185,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":96,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"7.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.9,"schoolId":73154,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Greenfield Union Elementary - Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Greenfield Union Elementary - Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/detroit-public-schools-community-district/greenfield-union-elementary-school/73154"}
