Our classroom has been transformed into a hub of imagination, collaboration, and hand-on learning. The magna-tiles, magnetic sticks, and stem building kits have quickly become some of our class favorites. Each day, I see students eagerly exploring ways to design, build and create. \r\n From the moment the packages started arriving, students noticed the new materials and excitement filled the room. The magna-tiles sparked curiosity as students began experimenting with the different colors and shapes. They quickly began combining shapes to create intricate zoos, farms, skyscrapers, and vehicles. The magnetic sticks and balls create a whole new level of creativity. It is so exciting to see some students using the picture guide for ideas, and watch them analyze it to design their own. The wooden people have become an asset in our small block area and lead to imaginative dialogue between students. The art pixel set is a perfect addition for students who prefer to work in a quieter setting, exploring their artistic analysis. \r\n These building experiences aren't only fun, they are helping students develop critical skills. As they construct towers, they are strengthening hand-eye coordination. They are developing their spatial awareness skills with confident planning and design. They're learning that trial and error is part of the process, a crucial skills in kindergarten standards. \r\n Thank you for believing in our project and supporting our students' growth. Your kindness has made a lasting impact, and we are deeply grateful. You have helped support a classroom where imagination and learning through play are truly valued.","fullyFundedDate":1752846892142,"projectUrl":"project/building-blocks-for-kindergarten-creator/9238913/","projectTitle":"Building Blocks for Kindergarten Creators!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Newman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5435337_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743890580003","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5435337"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_23510","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":583,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":45,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"21.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.0,"schoolId":23510,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Paideia School 15 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Paideia School 15","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/yonkers-public-schools/paideia-school-15/23510"}
