Thanks to your support, our classroom's dollhouse has come to life with its beautiful new furniture, becoming a favorite center during choice time. The excitement in my students' faces when they first saw the new furniture was priceless. They eagerly rushed to explore each piece, arranging and rearranging the rooms with enthusiasm and creativity.\r\n\r\nSince incorporating the furniture, I have noticed a significant increase in imaginative play. The students have been creating elaborate stories about families, homes, and daily life, showcasing their creativity in ways I had not seen before. Beyond individual play, this addition has also fostered moments of collaborative play. It's heartwarming to watch them negotiate roles, share ideas, and work together to bring their scenarios to life. These interactions have been invaluable in building their social and communication skills.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next unit is on buildings, and the dollhouse furniture will play an integral role. As we explore concepts of architecture and design, the students will use the dollhouse to experiment with layouts, discuss functionality, and imagine the types of buildings they want to create. Your donation has not only enhanced their playtime but also opened the door to deeper learning opportunities in this upcoming unit.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping to create a joyful and enriching environment for my students. Your kindness and support have made a lasting difference in their learning and development.","fullyFundedDate":1727140815722,"projectUrl":"project/dollhouse-renovation/8809876/","projectTitle":"Dollhouse Renovation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9771140_orig.jpg?crop=936,937,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726876545101","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9771140"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_496","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":331,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":65,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"7.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.4,"schoolId":496,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 57 Crescent on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 57 Crescent","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-57-crescent/496"}
