From the bottom of our hearts thank you. I was so excited to share this special moment with my kiddos. For me that means everything. To see my students safe, happy, learning, and healthy. Their face lit up when they saw the new blocks especially since we were running low. \r\nThey not only allowed them to think in new ways and to build different things. It made them feel special. The sink and float kit I remember one student that was challenging herself not only to try and read the cards that came with it but whose prediction skills developed. \r\nTheir engagement sky rocketed as I was able to switch out some materials. It taught them more how to be responsible and use materials correctly because \"These new items where theirs\" as they were new just for them. \r\nThey are now learning boundaries,sharing,and taking turn due to the new materials as everyone was excited and wanted to play with them. It made a connection on why its important to take care of materials.","fullyFundedDate":1765307907548,"projectUrl":"project/little-minds-little-scientist/9937599/","projectTitle":"Little Minds Little Scientist","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tasha","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10365151"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_117048","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":20,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":117048,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martin Luther King Acelero Head Start Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Martin Luther King Acelero Head Start Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/office-of-head-start/martin-luther-king/117048"}
