My students are using them as part of our current lessons and hands-on activities, giving them opportunities to explore concepts in a more engaging and interactive way. One of my favorite moments was seeing students immediately gather around the new materials, eager to touch, explore, and figure out how they could use them. Their excitement and curiosity reminded me how powerful it is to give students the right tools to learn.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, they were incredibly excited! There were lots of smiles, questions, and comments about what they could do with everything. Some students couldn't wait to get started, while others immediately began brainstorming different ways to use the resources. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and know that these materials would become part of their everyday learning experience.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue building on what we have learned and give students more opportunities to apply their knowledge through hands-on activities and collaboration. We'll be using the new resources to deepen our current lesson, encourage students to ask questions and problem-solve, and ultimately share what they have learned with their classmates. I'm excited to see where their curiosity takes them next!","fullyFundedDate":1788362408530,"projectUrl":"project/think-solve-grow-critical-thinking-ga/10500148/","projectTitle":"Think, Solve, Grow: Critical Thinking Games & Puzzles","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gesing","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2514343"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20918","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":496,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":42.9,"schoolId":20918,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ellicottville School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ellicottville School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/ellicottville-central-school-district/ellicottville-school/20918"}
