When the students first saw the new garden toys and market sets, they were absolutely thrilled and started playing \"market\" right away. One of the best moments was watching a group of students organize the play food and practice taking \"orders\" from their classmates. Their excitement has turned our play area into a bustling, creative space where they are constantly learning through movement and imagination.Right now, we are using the market and toys to practice social skills and basic math as the students \"buy\" and \"sell\" items to one another. It has been a wonderful way for them to learn about cooperation and sharing in a fun, hands-on way. Our next step is to use the garden toys to role-play how real plants grow, helping the children understand where our food comes from before it reaches a market. We are so grateful for these resources that make our classroom such a joyful place to learn!","fullyFundedDate":1774963746767,"projectUrl":"project/garden-study/10138052/","projectTitle":"Garden Study","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Liz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9589111"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_116193","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":116193,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gaylord Early Childhood Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gaylord Early Childhood Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/gaylord-community-school-district/gaylord-south-ecc/116193"}
