It was as though a small yet impactful treasure had been added to our classroom. They eagerly asked questions about how it would be used and began brainstorming ways it could enhance their learning environment. For many, the idea of having a dedicated space to store fresh snacks, drinks, or even science experiment materials brought a sense of ownership and pride. Their enthusiasm made it clear that this addition was going to transform how we approached not only daily routines but also special classroom projects.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis project has been incredibly beneficial for my students in several ways. The mini-refrigerator has provided a practical solution for keeping healthy snacks and meals fresh, ensuring that students can stay focused and energized throughout the day. Additionally, it has supported our hands-on learning activities, such as storing ingredients for cooking lessons or supplies for science experiments that require refrigeration. Beyond the physical benefits, the refrigerator has fostered a sense of community and responsibility, as students take turns maintaining its cleanliness and organization. It has become more than just an appliance; it is a tool that supports their well-being and learning.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThanks to the generosity of Donors Choose supporters, this project has had a meaningful impact on my classroom. The mini-refrigerator has not only addressed practical needs but also enhanced my students' overall experience, helping them feel valued and cared for. It serves as a reminder that even small additions can make a big difference in creating a nurturing and engaging learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1727229510607,"projectUrl":"project/im-melting/8793747/","projectTitle":"I'm Melting!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Espinal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8168256"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_124492","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":58,"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":75.9,"schoolId":124492,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 186X @ PS 146 Edward Collins on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 186X @ PS 146 Edward Collins","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/district-75-city-wide-programs/x186-public-school-146-edward-collins/124492"}
