These resources allowed me to design differentiated centers and independent work that meet students at their individual learning levels. Instead of using the same materials for every child, I can provide activities that support different needs, helping each student grow with confidence and success.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about these materials is that learning feels interactive and fun. The hands-on centers encourage students to move, manipulate materials, and actively participate in their learning rather than sit and complete worksheets. Students are more motivated, focused, and eager to show what they know. Many of these activities also support small-group instruction, allowing me to work closely with students who need extra practice or enrichment.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who previously struggled with independent work have especially benefited from these resources. With materials designed just for their learning level, they are more confident, more engaged, and more willing to try challenging tasks. Your support has helped create a classroom where learning is accessible, meaningful, and enjoyable for every student. Thank you for making such a positive impact on our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1767827282650,"projectUrl":"project/big-learning-for-little-dukes/9939618/","projectTitle":"Big Learning for Little Dukes","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Klass","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5455877_orig.png?crop=400,400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764679264390","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kinderswithmsk"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_66642","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":236,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":"14.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":66642,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about W.R.
