Words could never express my gratitude for your support in my second grade classroom! It is so important that our community continues to support these types of projects. So many people don't understand the extreme struggles that teachers go through. Providing my students with educational experiences is critical, and throughout the year I am purchasing supplies for their success with my own money. \r\n\r\nThe materials that you've helped provide are being used daily, and also serve as a constant reminder to kids that people out there believe in them and their education. We talk a lot about kindness and other life-skills in 2nd grade. Thank you for being a perfect example of acts of kindness! It's because of donors like you that my kids are able to have tools to support concentration, balance emotions such as anxiety, and continue to develop their self-awareness. My \"teacher-helper\" adores sitting in the tall \"teacher chair\" at my technology station! It has been such a relief to know that my kids are safe while enjoying leading the class! You have also given me resources to make every child feel special on their birthday such as a confetti themed birthday crown, a rubber birthday bracelet, and even a special birthday pencil! The kids light up when they get these special items on their important day!\r\n\r\nYou have helped motivate students by stocking our \"dojo store\" with exciting rewards such as mini notepads, squishies, fidgets, bracelets, and more! This project also helped me purchase items to brighten up our space such as a large digital wall clock and LED light strips. With your help, I was able to add these fun things to our learning environment. These children are in our classroom roughly 6 or 7 hours a day. They deserve to have a fun, exciting, and stimulating environment to learn in!\r\nWe are so grateful for the opportunity to get materials in our hands that support growth, excitement, creativity, and most importantly, happiness! Our children deserve these types of experiences no matter what our world looks like! From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1734544250937,"projectUrl":"project/time-to-upgrade-our-second-grade-learnin/8560275/","projectTitle":"Time to Upgrade Our Second Grade Learning Community!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ferguson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6542046_orig.jpg?crop=1298,1298,x441,y254&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722974126592","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-ferguson19"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72865","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":703,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":26,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":84,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.9,"schoolId":72865,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mattawan Early Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mattawan Early Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/mattawan-consolidated-school-district/mattawan-early-elementary-school/72865"}
