My students and I are already making great use of the colorful folders, dry erase markers, puzzle games, and even the staple remover you provided. The bright folders have helped us stay organized, and students love choosing their own colors to keep their work neat and accessible.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite moments so far has been when students first tried out the wooden puzzle games. At first, many felt unsure, but soon they were working together, laughing, and proudly showing their classmates when they solved a tricky design. It has been a wonderful way to practice perseverance and problem solving while building teamwork.\r\n\r\nThe dry erase markers are also used daily in small group and independent work, giving students a chance to try out ideas, make mistakes, and quickly try again without worry. Their excitement over \"writing with the teacher's markers\" shows just how motivating even simple tools can be.\r\n\r\nAs we continue into the school year, our next steps are to keep strengthening independence, collaboration, and critical thinking. Student work has already been displayed in our classroom and hallways, and thanks to the trusty staple remover, I can easily rotate new projects in and out to keep our learning space fresh and engaging.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made such a meaningful difference in both big and small ways. Thank you for helping my students grow, stay organized, and take pride in their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1750773735562,"projectUrl":"project/organized-and-supportive-environment/9362125/","projectTitle":"Organized and Supportive Environment","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Laura Ingram","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp34040_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720489230963","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/34040"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82838","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":342,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":81,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":86,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"9.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":54.6,"schoolId":82838,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kearny Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kearny Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/santa-fe-public-school-district/kearny-elementary-school/82838"}
