The materials purchased with your donations have made a tremendous impact on our classroom as a whole. My students have been able to see themselves in the books we read, learned to quiet their bodies when they are excited, and have had the flexibility to move around the room to work. \r\n\r\nWhen we gather for morning meeting, it is such a special time of the day. The students in my class eagerly await to see which morning meeting chip we will choose. They look forward to that time, to share important peices of themselves with their friends. With the tools you have so generously donated, they have been given the opportunity to feel comfortable, heard, and accepted by their peers.\r\n\r\nWhen we are working around the room, the students are able to sit anywhere they are comfortable. Now that we have lap tables, they can spread out and find the best spot for their learning. \r\n\r\nYour impact has reached so many this year, and it will continue to reach many more each year. I am so very grateful for your generousity.","fullyFundedDate":1689873933521,"projectUrl":"project/building-relationships-fostering-unders/7472504/","projectTitle":"Building Relationships, Fostering Understanding, and Engaging All Learners!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Valese","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1400925_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659194356199","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1400925"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82105","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":325,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":10,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":81,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.2,"schoolId":82105,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maple Road Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maple Road Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/west-milford-township-school-district/maple-road-elementary-school/82105"}
