Before the tricycles even arrived, I sat down with the children and shared the exciting news that we would soon be receiving new tricycles. From that moment on, they were filled with anticipation and asked about them every day. When we returned from Spring Break and the boxes finally arrived, the excitement in the room was unforgettable. The children eagerly gathered around, asking, \"Are we going to open them?\" Their joy and curiosity made it such a special moment for all of us.\r\n\r\nSince then, the tricycles have become a daily part of our outdoor play. The children are using them to build their gross motor skills, practice taking turns, and learn how to navigate space safely. We've also been incorporating them into our lessons by encouraging cooperative play, communication, and following directions. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they ride, share, and support one another.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue to use the tricycles as part of our learning experiences by creating simple obstacle courses, introducing traffic safety concepts, and encouraging teamwork through group activities. Your generosity has truly made a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are so grateful for the opportunities these tricycles provide our students every day.","fullyFundedDate":1774963851211,"projectUrl":"project/freedom-on-three-wheels/10081033/","projectTitle":"Freedom on Three Wheels","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jynell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5139123_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1735412791791","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-denby"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_111075","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":60,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":32,"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":52.2,"schoolId":111075,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about River's Edge Early Learning Center Head Start on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"River's Edge Early Learning Center Head Start","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/gateway-community-action-partnership-head-start/river-s-edge-head-start/111075"}
