My students and I are absolutely loving the new resources you helped provide. The seat sacks have been a game changer—they've brought so much organization to our room, helping keep desks and learning spaces clutter-free. It's made a noticeable difference in how smoothly our day runs!\r\n\r\nOne of the first things we did with the new supplies was dive into small group activities using the new whiteboards and markers. The students were so excited when they first saw them—several even asked if they could use them right away! These tools have quickly become a favorite for both learning and collaboration. Whether it's practicing math problems or brainstorming during reading groups, the whiteboards make learning more interactive and fun.\r\n\r\nWe've also been using the anchor chart paper to kick off the school year with important classroom routines, learning goals, and interactive lessons. It's been a fantastic visual tool for reinforcing new concepts and keeping key ideas accessible to students.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the students have been enjoying the Smarties as part of our classroom rewards jar—they're a simple but fun incentive that keeps them motivated and excited to learn. And on my end, I'm so grateful to have the thank-you cards on hand. They make it easy to recognize kindness and celebrate both student effort and community support.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making our classroom a better place to learn. Your kindness and generosity have made a real impact!","fullyFundedDate":1756099253199,"projectUrl":"project/help-support-my-new-kindergarten-classro/9420596/","projectTitle":"Help Support My New Kindergarten Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hallacy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10058633_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750206368204","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10058633"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54998","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":555,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.6,"schoolId":54998,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ridgeview Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ridgeview Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/sparta-area-schools/ridgeview-elementary-school/54998"}
