The students wanted an introduction and demonstration of each of the materials we received. \r\n\r\nI cannot wait to get more materials and math games for my classroom to help all my students truly understand that they too, are a math person.","fullyFundedDate":1725815504520,"projectUrl":"project/everyone-is-a-math-person/8746327/","projectTitle":"Everyone Is A Math Person!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Caouette","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5322620_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y7&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566692604507","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-caouette"},{"teacherId":7958966,"projectId":9101346,"letterContent":"On behalf of my kindergarten students and myself, I want to sincerely thank you for your generous contribution toward flexible seating in my classroom. Your kindness has made a real and immediate difference in our daily learning environment. \r\nSince introducing the new seating options, I've seen a noticeable change in students engagement, focus, and enthusiasm for learning. The variety of seating choices allows children to find the spot where they can do their best work whether that's a wobble stool for active movement, a floor cushion for cozy reading, or a standing table for hands-on projects. \r\nFlexible seating has given students a sense of ownership over their learning space, helping them develop independence, responsibility, and self-awareness. It has also encouraged collaboration, as students naturally gravitate towards working together in comfortable, inviting spots. \r\nMost importantly, your support has shown our young learners that there are people beyond their families and teachers who care deeply about their growth and success. That message is powerful, and it will stay with them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1745847063106,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9101346/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7958966"},{"teacherId":6491071,"projectId":9121772,"letterContent":"I hope this message finds you well.

As I introduced the materials, they immediately started asking questions—\"Can we use the colored paper for projects?\" and \"When do we get to play the game?\" The prize box items especially caught their attention, and I explained that they would serve as rewards for good behavior.\r\n\r\nWe've already started incorporating the supplies into our lessons. In math, students used the colored paper to create interactive fraction models, making abstract concepts more tangible. In ELA, they used the drawing materials to illustrate scenes from the novels we're reading, helping them connect with the stories in a creative way. These resources have not only made learning more engaging but have also helped reinforce positive behavior and collaboration in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1727705432926,"projectUrl":"project/6th-grade-gets-crafty/8689634/","projectTitle":"6th Grade Gets Crafty","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Aflleje","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9697900"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39708","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":304,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":55.6,"schoolId":39708,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Valley View Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Valley View Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/great-falls-school-district-1a/valley-view-elementary-school/39708"}
