This support will make a meaningful difference for my students. Many of our families are low-income and aren't always able to send healthy snacks to school. Because of your gift, my students no longer have to worry about not having a snack—or having one that doesn't keep them full and focused.\r\n\r\nThe class set of clocks has already been incredibly helpful in our lessons on telling time. Previously, I used paper clocks, which simply weren't as engaging as the small, hands-on versions of the teacher clock. My students are now much more excited to participate and can manipulate the time right along with me.\r\n\r\nThe stools have also been a huge hit. I had a few in my classroom before, and being able to adjust the height for each student makes them so versatile. They're significantly more durable than my previous flexible-seating options, and my students love using them.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and support. It truly makes a difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1761586155365,"projectUrl":"project/helpful-resources-in-1st-grade/9583281/","projectTitle":"Helpful Resources in 1st Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nicholas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1397043_orig.jpg?crop=1030,1030,x115,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692300950363","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1397043"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107212","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":289,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":75,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":85,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":90.0,"schoolId":107212,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Graveraet Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Graveraet Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/marquette-area-public-school-district/graveraet-elementary-school/107212"}
