Your support is making a real difference in our classroom each and every day.\r\n\r\nThe laptop has become an incredible learning tool- students are using it to explore educational programs, practice reading and math skills, and work together on projects that spark creativity and curiosity. It's also helping us integrate technology into lessons in meaningful ways, preparing our students for the digital world they're growing up in.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your gift has opened doors for hands-on learning, discovery, and confidence. Our students are excited to learn, and that excitement is thanks to you. \r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our classroom and investing in our students' future.

Children already loved using Magnatiles and Hot Wheels tracks, but the addition of the hex bugs and track extenders/splitters allowed their creativity to climb into a completely different direction. Children that had more natural ability to use the materials were so encouraging and helpful to those that needed a little coaching and support. Children even figured out how they could race Hex Bugs on Hot Wheels tracks!\r\nThe architecture set was a big hit during our fairy tale studies. Children would often cross themes by using props and toys from different areas of the room to create structures and houses to tell their own stories. \r\nWe were able to use the arctic animal resources to have a very in depth study of animals in this habitat. Long after the study was done children continued to play with the toys frequently and compare and contrast them to animals of new environments that we learned about. \r\nThe science viewers were enjoyed when we learned about different types of animals and life cycles. The microscopes allowed children to immerse themselves into the fine details of each subject. \r\nThese resources will be enjoyed for many classroom years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1739718543095,"projectUrl":"project/full-steam-ahead/9114576/","projectTitle":"Full STEAM Ahead!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schluckebier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4718951_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503687141664","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4718951"},{"teacherId":6195090,"projectId":8879369,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing my classroom with these headphones.

A project such as this makes such a profound impact in our ability to create the perfect home/school/family environment. As you can see from the photos our dresser is fully stocked and quite obviously in use! Having fresh clothes for accidents is essential to having a smooth sailing school day.\r\n\r\nFor our students this means that if they get full invested in a construction, dramatic play, art project, or book and wait too long to get to the bathroom and have an accident we can provide them a quick and easy way to get back to their day. With the dresser in the bathroom we can easily have a child back to their day in a matter of minutes and with out embarrassment of the whole class knowing. Sometimes when you work hard all day you sleep hard at naptime. In those moments accidents can occur. And in those moments when you have everything you need to get freshened up, it's no big deal!\r\n\r\nWe have already put this resource to good use. One of our friends was struck by a stomach bug and we in desperate need of clean clothes. Something that would have been traumatic for me, was able to be handled so easily and the child was able to move past the moment with out shame or embarrassment. \r\n\r\nFor our parents it means no phone calls interrupting work because of an accident. Children bring a change of clothes at the beginning of the year, but sometimes they get used and not replenished. We love that we can make life a little easier for parents and children.","fullyFundedDate":1733280477092,"projectUrl":"project/fresh-and-ready/8742469/","projectTitle":"Fresh and Ready!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schluckebier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4718951_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503687141664","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4718951"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72699","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":505,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":84,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"24.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":63.8,"schoolId":72699,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Francis Reh Public School Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Francis Reh Public School Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/michigan-department-of-education/francis-reh-public-school-acad/72699"}
