My first graders are amazing and incredibly resilient. Every day, they arrive eager to learn, but many are significantly below grade level and often face materials that feel out of reach. Your generosity is helping to bridge that gap.\r\n\r\nWith your support, I will be able to purchase engaging, developmentally appropriate resources from Teachers Pay Teachers. These high-quality, hands-on materials will allow me to create premade learning centers and small group activities that meet my students where they are. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, they'll be able to practice foundational skills through meaningful, interactive lessons designed for their needs.\r\n\r\nI know these resources will make a difference—not only by building core academic skills, but by growing my students' love of learning.

It is incredible to watch the transformation that happens over the course of the year. At the beginning, students explore Play-Doh by pounding, pulling, and rolling it as they strengthen their fine motor muscles and develop hand-eye coordination. By the end of the school year, those same students are creating 3D sculptures—animals, food, buildings—using problem-solving, planning, and storytelling in their creations.","fullyFundedDate":1734059119228,"projectUrl":"project/hands-in-motion-building-skills-through/8998963/","projectTitle":"Hands in Motion: Building Skills Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jackson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4571818_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516109101636","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/little-scholars"},{"teacherId":4571818,"projectId":6638371,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom project! This year, my students explored the theme of \"Then and Now,\" comparing how people, places, and things have changed over time. Your generosity allowed us to add a Shark RV2001 AI Robot Vacuum to our study, giving students a fascinating, hands-on look at how technology evolves to make everyday life easier.\r\n\r\nWhen the robot vacuum first arrived, many students were unsure—and even a little afraid. Most had never seen one before and weren't sure what it was or what it could do. Over time, they gained confidence and curiosity. They learned that a robot vacuum is not just a cleaning tool, but a programmed machine that requires instructions, much like the other coding activities we do in class with tools like the Code-a-Pillar.\r\n\r\nThe excitement of seeing an old-fashioned vacuum next to a robotic one made our lessons on change and innovation come alive. Students were able to see firsthand how objects develop over time, ask thoughtful questions, and make connections to other areas of technology. They are learning that while robots can make life easier, humans still need to tell them what to do—a valuable lesson in both history and STEM.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students this unique opportunity to discover, explore, and think critically about the world around them. Your support has made learning meaningful and unforgettable.","fullyFundedDate":1662563787329,"projectUrl":"project/brrrm-brrrm-a-robotic-vacuum/6638371/","projectTitle":"Brrrm, Brrrm a Robotic Vacuum!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jackson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4571818_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516109101636","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/little-scholars"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77993","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":158,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":96,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"7.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.8,"schoolId":77993,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ashland Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ashland Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/st-louis-public-schools/ashland-elementary-school/77993"}
