Your thoughtful donations have made a tremendous difference in our daily routines and have provided our students with wonderful opportunities to learn, grow, and create lasting memories.\r\nOur camera has been such a special addition to our classroom! We use it to capture precious moments throughout the school year, from exciting learning activities and classroom celebrations to everyday accomplishments. These pictures allow us to document our students' growth and create special keepsakes that help preserve the memories of their kindergarten year.\r\nThe bookshelves have made a huge difference in keeping our classroom organized and functional. They provide much-needed storage for our learning manipulatives, and hands-on materials. Having everything neatly organized and easily accessible allows our students to become more independent while making our learning activities run more smoothly.\r\nOur scoop chairs have quickly become a classroom favorite! We use them during small-group instruction, providing students with a fun and comfortable seating option while they work together, practice new skills, and participate in hands-on learning activities. They help make our small-group time feel extra special!\r\nThe playdough station and tools have brought so much creativity and excitement into our classroom! While students think they are simply playing, they are actually strengthening their fine motor skills, developing hand muscles needed for handwriting, improving coordination, and using their imaginations. It is wonderful to see how much learning can take place through play!\r\nYour generosity has provided so much more than classroom supplies. You have helped create an environment where our students can explore, discover, build confidence, and develop a love for learning. Each of these items is being put to good use and is making a meaningful difference in our classroom every single day.\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for believing in our little learners and investing in their future. Your kindness and support are truly appreciated, and your impact will continue to be felt by our students for years to come!\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1785164148422,"projectUrl":"project/little-learners-big-dreams-endless-pos/10338728/","projectTitle":"Little Learners, Big Dreams, Endless Possibilities","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bond","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10531824_orig.jpg?crop=2970,2970,x0,y99&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1781560598652","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10531824"},{"teacherId":10501075,"projectId":10272593,"letterContent":"Our new storage bins have already made a big difference in our classroom! We are using them to organize our math manipulatives so students can easily see and access the materials they need without having to search through large storage containers. The bins are also being used to store our indoor games, which the students are enjoying during indoor recess days. Having everything clearly organized makes clean-up quick and easy, while also teaching students responsibility and independence. These simple storage solutions are helping us make the most of our small classroom space while keeping learning materials organized and accessible.\r\n Since the cubbies arrived at the beginning of the school year, most of my former students did not get to see the transformation of our classroom. However, the impact of this project has reached beyond my own classroom. The new cubbies have not only made a difference in how we organize and use our space, but they have also inspired other teachers to create their own projects to improve their classrooms. It has been exciting to see how one project can spark ideas and encourage others to find creative ways to make their learning spaces more organized, functional, and inviting for their students.\r\n Now that our classroom is more organized, our next step is to continue using our math manipulatives whenever possible to make math more interactive and hands-on for our students. Having these materials easily accessible will allow us to incorporate them into our lessons more often and give students opportunities to learn by doing. We have plans for other classroom projects in the future, but for now, we are incredibly appreciative of the generous donations we received for this project. Your support has already made a meaningful difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1783090808447,"projectUrl":"project/organized-classroom-organized-minds-and/10272593/","projectTitle":"Organized Classroom, Organized Minds and Independent Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dyle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10501075_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1782166611041","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10501075"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15586","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":340,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":82,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":31,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"21.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":51.2,"schoolId":15586,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Side Lower Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Side Lower Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/picayune-school-district/south-side-lower-elementary-school/15586"}
