What may seem like a simple supply has had an incredible impact on my students and the quality of instruction they receive each day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, I am now able to create vibrant, engaging learning materials that capture students' attention and make challenging concepts easier to understand. For many of my students—especially those who struggle academically or require additional support—color-coded visuals, anchor charts, and differentiated worksheets have made a meaningful difference. They are now able to follow steps more easily, organize their thinking with visual cues, and feel more confident while completing assignments.\r\n\r\nYour donation has also allowed me to diversify my instructional tools. I can now print:\r\n\r\nColor-coded math supports that help students identify place value, operations, and comparison strategies.\r\n\r\nEngaging literacy materials for learning centers such as leveled passages, graphic organizers, and vocabulary cards.\r\n\r\nBehavioral and organizational supports, including visual schedules and incentive charts that help students stay focused and motivated.\r\n\r\nHigh-quality center activities, which allow my students to work independently and successfully during small-group instruction.\r\n\r\nThank you for making it possible for my classroom to be a more vibrant, supportive, and effective learning environment.

The ability to quickly and easily warm up breakfast items has made a tangible difference in the overall well-being and academic performance of my students. Starting the day with a warm, nourishing meal significantly improves their focus and energy levels, creating a more positive and productive learning environment. Previously, many students arrived at school hungry and struggled to concentrate, affecting their ability to participate fully in lessons and absorb new information. The microwave has addressed this challenge directly, ensuring that they begin their day with a full stomach and a readiness to learn that significantly enhances their educational experience. We've seen a marked improvement in both their attendance and academic engagement since the microwave was installed.","fullyFundedDate":1727805004452,"projectUrl":"project/warm-at-heart/8808482/","projectTitle":"Warm at Heart","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cohen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/324523"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_23526","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":554,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.8,"schoolId":23526,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Caesar Chavez School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Caesar Chavez School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/yonkers-public-schools/cedar-place-elementary-school/23526"}
